Description

General description

4-Hydroxybenzophenone is characterized by its ability to absorb UV radiation and convert it into lower-energy radiation. This property makes it an effective photostabilizer. Its molecular structure features two aromatic rings connected by a carbonyl group, allowing for strong π-π stacking interactions, which enhance its stability and efficacy in polymer matrices. Incorporating 4-Hydroxybenzophenone into polymer matrices increases the longevity and performance of materials used in outdoor applications, such as coatings and plastics.

Application

4-Hydroxybenzophenone can be used:

• As a photoinitiator to synthesize fluorescent triblock copolymer micelles for targeted release of cancer drugs and intracellular bioimaging. It facilitates controlled release, improving therapeutic efficacy while minimizing side effects.
• As a photoacid catalyst for ring opening polymerization of lactones to prepare biodegradable polyesters.
• As a precursor to synthesize functional copolymer for fabrication of nanostructured transparent metal electrodes for flexible optoelectronic devices.
