Cationic photopolymerization of bisphenol-A-based vinyl ether systems

Synthesis and photo‐polymerization of bio‐based furanic compounds functionalized by 2‐hydroxypropyl methacrylate group(s)

“…The heat flow according to time was measured using photo‐DSC and the time integral of heat flow was calculated. The presence of the aromatic rings could compete with photo‐initiator on UV light absorption with a consequent decrease of the reactivity of the systems 36. Especially, the effect of furan ring on photo‐polymerization should be considered to realize the applicability of bio‐based furanic compounds to photo‐polymerizable materials.…”

Front velocity dependence on vinyl ether and initiator concentration in radical‐induced cationic frontal polymerization of epoxies

“…2,3 Cationic photopolymerizations of vinyl ethers have been studied extensively, both as homopolymers and comonomer systems. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Frontal polymerization (FP) was discovered by Chechilo and Enikolopyan 11 and studied in Russia by their group and others through the 1970s and 1980s. [12][13][14][15] It was rediscovered by Pojman and studied in the 1990s [16][17][18] and has seen recent rapid growth through applications such as composites, 19,20 cure-on demand materials and adhesives, 21,22 deep-eutectic solvents 23 and hydrogels.…”

“…They typically see applications in coatings due to good adhesion with metal and wood, fast cure rate due to reactivity, low toxicity, insensitivity to oxygen and the cationic mechanism allowing for formulations with other comonomers 2,3 . Cationic photopolymerizations of vinyl ethers have been studied extensively, both as homopolymers and comonomer systems 4–10 …”
