Izici nemisebenzi yomkhiqizo:
I-Benzophenones yizinhlanganisela zekristalu ezihlukaniswa njengama-ketone anephunga elimnandi nama-photosensitizers.Isakhiwo sayo samakhemikhali esiyingqayizivele siqukethe izindandatho ezimbili ze-benzene ezixhunywe iqembu le-carbonyl, akha okuqinile okuphuzi okukhanyayo okunephunga elimnandi.Ngokuzinza okuhle kakhulu kanye ne-solubility kuma-solvents e-organic, inohlu olubanzi lwezinhlelo zokusebenza ezimbonini ezihlukahlukene.
Okunye ukusetshenziswa okuyinhloko kwama-benzophenones njengempahla eluhlaza yezihlungi ze-ultraviolet (UV) ezimonyoni, ezikhiqizweni zelanga neminye imikhiqizo yokunakekelwa komuntu siqu.Ikhono layo lokumunca imisebe ye-UV eyingozi linikeza isivikelo esisebenzayo esikhumbeni futhi livimbele ukuwohloka kwezithako ezibucayi.Ukwengeza, i-photostability ye-benzophenones iwenza abe izithako ezifanele ekwakhiweni kwamakha okuhlala isikhathi eside.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-benzophenones asetshenziswa kakhulu ekwenzeni ama-polymers, okokunamathela, nama-adhesives.Izakhiwo zayo ze-photoinitiating zinika amandla ukuphulukiswa nokwelashwa kwama-resin alaphekayo e-UV, kuthuthukise ukusebenza nokuqina komkhiqizo wokugcina.Ngaphezu kwalokho, lesi sithako singasetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni izithasiselo zemithi, odayi, nezimibalabala, kube nengxenye entuthukweni emikhakheni ehlukahlukene.
