Investigation on Cationic Polymerization with Al (O-sec-C4H9) 3/BF3/TiCl4

Wavelength tunability in photoinitiated cationic polymerization

Onium salts, widely used cationic photoinitiators, have absorption in the short wavelength of the UV spectrum. However, their spectral sensitivity can be tuned up to the visible region by using several methods. Photosensitization of onium salts, their charge transfer complex formation and their free radical promotion are some techniques that are used to provide wavelength flexibility. This chap...

Cyclic Oligomers in the Cationic Polymerization of Heterocycles

The cationic polymerization of heterocyclic monomers may lead to polymers containing substantial, yet Variable amounts of cyclic oligomers. This review gives a survey of the systems where such oligomers have been found. Oligomer formation is generally observed in the polymerization of oxiranes and thiiranes. The most frequently observed oligomers are the cyclic dimers and cyclic tetramers but o...
