Epoxidized polyisoprene-acrylate

Photocross-linking of epoxidized polyisoprene-acrylate blends... 

The photoinitiated cationic polymerization of liquid epoxidized polyisoprene is an efficient method to generate rapidly crosslinked elastomers. In the presence of a triarylsulfonium salt, the reaction develops readily upon UV exposure, with formation of both inter and intramolecular ether linkages. The formulation reactivity can be substantially enhanced by the addition of a difunctional vinyl ether or acrylate monomer, which acts as a reactive diluent and leads to the formation of an...
