Investigations of the reactivity of “kick‐started” oxetanes in photoinitiated cationic polymerization
2015
Crivello, J. V.
The ability of certain alkyl substituted epoxides to accelerate the photoinitiated cationic ring‐opening polymerizations of oxetane monomers by substantially reducing or eliminating the induction period altogether has been termed by us “kick‐starting.” In this communication, the rates of photopolymerization of several model “kick‐started” oxetane systems were quantified and compared with the analogous biscycloaliphatic epoxide monomer, 3,4‐epoxycyclohexylmethyl 3′,4′‐epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate (ERL). It has been found that the “kick‐started” systems undergo photopolymerization at rates that are at least two‐fold faster than ERL. These results suggest that “kick‐started” oxetanes could replace ERL in many applications in which high speed ultraviolet induced crosslinking photopolymerizations are carried out. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
