## 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

Abstract
Summary: The photoinitiated cationic polymerization of 1‐cyclopropyl‐l‐phenyl‐ethylene, 1‐cyclopropyl‐l‐(p‐methoxyphenyl)ethylene and 1‐cyclopropyl‐l‐(p‐fluorophenyl)ethylene at ambient temperatures in bulk and in solution was investigated using (η^5^‐2,4‐cyclopentadiene‐l‐yl)[l,2,3,4,5,6‐η] (l‐(methylethyl) benzene)iron(I) hexafluorophosphate (Irgacure 261, I‐1) and ditolyliodonium hexafluorophosphate (I‐2). In contrast to our results in the polymerization of 2‐cyclopropyl‐4‐methylene‐l,3‐dioxolanes, partial ring‐opening of the cyclopropane ring could be detected. A volume shrinkage of about 11% was found.

A series of epoxy alcohols were prepared by simple, straightforward methods. These compounds were very reactive monomers that polymerized rapidly on UV irradiation in the presence of cationic photoinitiators. The kinetics of the cationic photopolymerization of these monomers were studied with diaryl
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
