Synthesis of PVA-based macromolecular photoinitiators through esterification with TXOCH₂COOH and cysteine, and investigation of their photophysical properties: in situ fabrication of flexible nanocomposite films

2-(Carboxymethoxy) thioxanthone (TX-OCH₂COOH), a thioxanthone derivative, was utilized for the esterification of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to synthesize a macromolecular photoinitiator, both in the absence and presence of Cysteine (Cys). The covalent attachment of the thioxanthone (TX) group to PVA th...
