Herein we present an environmentally robust photopolymer system containing monomer stabilizer and thereby can improve the shelf-life stability of conventional photopolymer media. In this report, we conducted systematic study of the radical scavenger effect on shelf-life time in terms of achievable diffraction efficiency of photopolymers as a function of storage time. Furthermore, the stability of photopolymerizable monomer was also discussed regarding to monomer conversion by FT-Raman analysis during the storage.
► We report an environmentally robust photopolymer system. ► The use of radical scavenger improved shelf-life stability of photopolymer. ► The holographic performance was studied upon storage time. ► Undesired dark-reaction was controlled during storage.
