General description

Benzoin is an industrially important chemical that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of different chemical additives, dyestuff, pharmaceuticals and also as a photoinitiator.

Application

Benzoin may be used as a photoinitiator in the synthesis of biocompatible and degradable hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylates and gelatin via combined microwave-assisted and photo-polymerization technique.
