On-aircraft repairs of composite using a rapid-cure resin system of composite component with UV light irradiation based on TRI patenP have been developed by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. Alternating layers of the acrylate-based resin system and woven fiberglass (the widely used wet la)mp procedure) are applied to fill the hole and form a UV curable composition. The width of the patch can be up to 2 ft (0.6 m) and the depth as much as 0.2 in. (5 mm). The cure time using a 400 W UVA lamp is reported to be 20 min. Although it is essentially a depot repair, it can be done field when necessary to return an aircraft to service. Because of the necessity to cure relatively thick repair patches, Us-acylphosphine oxide was used as a photoinitiator. An example of the patented UV curable resin system used for the repairs is in Table 11.1. 

The papers presented in the following chapters represent advances in pressure sensitive adhesives (ultraviolet light activated acrylate monomer - low Tg polyether formulations) photoinitiated cationic polymerization (light activated aryliodonium and arylsulfonium salts of lewis acids in epoxy resin formulations) polymer and formulation design criteria for radiation curable adhesives radiation curable composites (dynamic thermal analysis characterization of electron beam cured... 

Multifunctional photoinitiators, (II), were prepared by Sommerlade et al. (2) for radiation-curable dental compositions using UV light. A Norrish Type visible-light-sensitive multifunctional ketopinic amide derivative attached to a modified amino-silanated resin, (III), was prepared by Condon et al. (3) and used as a macroinitiator in dental applications.
