Frontal Polymerization: Polymerization Induced Destabilization of Peracrylates
Frontal photopolymerization has attracted much attention in the last decade as it allows the curing of thick films. Unfortunately, the use of peroxides, which feature appropriate storage stability, also requires inappropriately high initiation temperatures. Here, a new approach involving a copolymerisation-induced destabilization of (meth)acrylate-based peroxides that allows lower front temperatures is presented. The increasing degree of branching next to the carbonyl group lowers the decomposition temperature by at least 20 degrees C. In classical monomer formulations, sufficient storage stability is confirmed.
