Abstract

Difunctional epoxy monomers have been polymerized cationically by UV irradiation in the presence of a triarylsulfonium photoinitiator. The curing process was followed quantitatively by monitoring the disappearance of the epoxy group by infrared spectroscopy and the insolubilization and hardening of the resin upon UV exposure. The addition of epoxidized soyabean oil (ESO) to an aromatic diepoxide was shown to accelerate the crosslinking reaction with formation of a tight polymer network. The photoinitiated copolymerization of ESO with a cycloaliphatic diepoxide proceeds extensively and leads within seconds to a fully cured insoluble material showing increased hardness, flexibility and scratch resistance. Interpenetrating polymer networks have been generated by a short UV‐irradiation of blends of acrylate and epoxy monomers.

A new system for efficiently carrying out cationic photopolymerizations with visible and long-wavelength UV light is described. This system is based on the principle that certain onium salt cationic photoinitiators can be reduced by free radicals produced by the hydrogen abstraction reactions of pho
