The crystal size distribution is tested in the following two ways; the first is to test by a granularity tester; the test results in figures 2, 3 and 4 were obtained as described above; the second method is screening, the photoinitiator crystals are screened through screens with the mesh number of 10 meshes and 30 meshes, the mass of the crystal particles which are obtained through screening and are positioned between 10 meshes and 30 meshes is weighed and recorded, the mass ratio of the crystal particles is calculated, and the data in table 1 adopt the second mode.
In the process of testing by adopting the second testing method, the photoinitiator crystals obtained in the embodiments 1-7 have higher hardness, are not fragile and have good stability in the screening process; in the screening process of the flaky photoinitiator crystals in the comparative example 1, the crystals are obviously broken and have low hardness; therefore, compared with the flaky photoinitiator crystals in comparative example 1, the crystals obtained by the crystallization process have higher stability, are not easy to break up and agglomerate in the storage process, and further ensure the subsequent use performance.
