Photodegradation study of Irgacure 2959 during hydrogel formation via 266 nm pulsed laser radiation

Irgacure 2595 was exposed to 266 nm laser radiation to study its photodegradation rate in order to understand and improve hydrogel formation. The photodegradation process was monitored via fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-Vis and FTIR absorption spectroscopy.
