Photopolymerizable composition containing a novel combination of

Abstract

A photopolymerizable composition comprising (A) an addition-polymerizable unsaturated compound having two or more ethylenically unsaturated double bonds and (B) a ternary photopolymerization initiator system, comprising a combination of a 4,4'-bis(dialkylamino)benzophenone represented by the following general formula (I), a carbonyl compound represented by the following general formula (IIa) or (IIb), and a compound having a group represented by the following general formula (III): ##STR1## wherein each R, which may be the same or different, represents an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group or a hydroxyalkyl group, or may be bonded to another R substituent of the same nitrogen atom to form a tetramethylene group, a pentamethylene group or an oxybisethylene group; ##STR2## wherein X represents a single bond, an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a substituted or unsubstituted nitrogen atom or a carbonyl group, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, which may be the same or different, each represents an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a carboxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, or a halogen atom, and m and n each represents an integer of 0 to 3; ##STR3## wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.4, which may be the same or different, each represents an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a carboxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a cyano group or a halogen atom, p represents an integer of 0 to 5, and q represents an integer of 0 to 4; and
