Think You Know UV Measurement?

After 30 years in UV technology, this author is still learning and still getting excited about new applications.

This column by Jim Raymont kicks off an "ABCs" series on UV measurement and process control. Whether you're new to the field or a veteran, there's something here worth reviewing.

Letter "A" might seem basic, but getting it right saves headaches, prevents costly mistakes and keeps your team speaking the same radiometric language.

Spoiler: Captain Kangaroo never covered this kind of ABC.

New research compares EB vs. x-ray polymerization, revealing key tradeoffs.

In this column, Sage Schissel analyzes how monomer chemistry and dose rate affect conversion, which is crucial for selecting the right tech for composites, 3D printing and medical devices.

In this issue, Part 1 provides the Introduction, Experimental and Methods. Part 2, to be published in Issue 3, 2026, will continue with Results and Discussion. https://zurl.co/VKtlQ

In this study, conversion as a function of dose was measured for a series of (meth)acrylates during electron beam (EB) and x-ray polymerization to characterize the impact of the irradiation mode. Monomer chemistry was shown to be a key variable in the comparison of the two technologies, providing gu...
