✦ Synopsis

The rapid, efficient electron beam-induced cationic polymerization of multifunctional epoxy monomers has been carried out in the presence of diaryliodonium and triarylsulfonium salts. These polymerizations take place at low doses ( 1-3 Mrad) , which make them attractive for commercial applications. The factors that contribute to the high reactivity of these monomers are discussed.
