Simultaneous Radical and Acid Catalyzed Condensation Polymerization. As shown in Equations 1-7, the photolysis of diaryliodonium and triarylsulfonium salts produces in addition to strong protonic acids, a variety of radical fragments. These photoinitiators are, therefore, capable of initiating free radical polymerizations. A number of hybrid imaging systems which take advantage of both radical and acidic species formed from the photolysis of these salts have been designed. For example, Equation 26 illustrates one such system based on simultaneous radical and acid catalyzed condensation polymerizations which has been explored in our laboratory. 

AMYL-METHYL-CETONE (French) (110-43-0) Forms explosive mixture with air (flash point 102°F/38°C). Violent reaction with strong oxidizers, aldehydes, nitric acid, perchloric acid. A variety of unstable peroxides may be formed from the reaction with hydrogen peroxide. Incompatible with aliphatic amines, aldehydes, strong bases, hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, perchloric acid. Attacks some plastics and rubber.
