Even though there are many photocurable compositions that are cured by cationic
photopolymerization mechanisms, UV curing generally consists of the formation of cross …

The photopolymerization processes are currently associated with thin samples for which the
light penetration is good enough to activate the photoinitiator or the photoinitiating system for …

Visible light induced synthesis generally involves i) dyes or chromophores with potential
photocleavable bonds (Type I photoinitiator), ii) hydrogen abstractions (Type II photoinitiator) …

Redox polymerizations are of huge importance throughout academic and industrial polymer
science. Many authors propose the reaction of reducing (Red) and oxidizing (Ox) agents to …

A series of polyester prepolymers was synthesized from itaconic acid, phthalic anhydride,
propane-1, 2-diol and diethylene glycol by condensation polymerization. The use of itaconic …

The free radical polymerization of low viscosity methacrylate blends upon a LED irradiation
at 405 nm under air is carried out using Cu (I)/iodonium salt/tin (II) organic derivative as …

The demand for thermoplastic composites is continuously increasing because these
materials offer many advantages over their thermoset counterparts, such as high toughness …

Curing reactions of methyl methacrylate (MMA) comprise an induction time of gradual
temperature change over tens of minutes, followed by a sudden temperature rise within tens …

A novel way to counterbalance the drawbacks and advantages of photopolymerization and
redox polymerization is proposed. Photoinitiating systems based on charge transfer …

Continuous fiber reinforced composites were made using in-situ polymerization of a new
