Disclosed are of the protected photoinitiators of the formula: wherein Aryl1 is an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring; Aryl2 is an aromatic ring; each Ris an alkyl, an aryl, an electron donating group or an electron withdrawing group, and subscript a is 0 to 3; each Ris an alkyl, an aryl, an electron donating group or an electron withdrawing group, and subscript b is 0 to 3; Prot is a protected carbonyl group. 

Photoinitiators with protected carbonyl group

A method of making a polymer network. The method includes providing a composition including a polythiol having more than one thiol group and a polyepoxide having more than one epoxide group, applying a solution including a photolatent base catalyst to a surface of the composition, and subsequently exposing the composition to light. Upon exposure to light, the photolatent base catalyst photochemically generates a first amine and at least partially cures at least the surface of the composition to form the polymer network.
