Abstract:
Propenyl ether monomers of formula VA(OCH.dbd.CHCH.sub.3).sub.nwherein n is an integer from one to six and A is selected from cyclic ethers, polyether and alkanes are disclosed. The monomers are readily polymerized in the presence of cationic photoinitiators, when exposed to actinic radiation, to form poly(propenyl ethers) that are useful for coatings, sealants, varnishes and adhesives. Compositions for preparing polymeric coatings comprising the compounds of formula V together with particular cationic photoinitiators are also disclosed, as are processes for making the monomers from allyl halides and readily available alcohols. The process involves rearranging the resulting allyl ethers to propenyl ethers.
Abstract:
A process for cationically polymerizing 1,3-diisopropenylbenzene to produce a polymer which is predominantly a polyindane is disclosed. The resulting polyindanes are novel compounds useful as low dielectric constant coatings. Compositions containing 1,3-diisopropenylbenzene and cationic photoinitiators, and optionally containing a polyindane useful for preparing coatings, are disclosed as are processes for coating substrates using the compositions.
Abstract:
Deep section epoxy compositions are cured by irradiation with e-beam, x-ray,or .gamma.-ray radiation. Use of photoinitiators having metal halide anions makes monomers and oligomers especially susceptible of this invention's deep section curing technology.

The resulting triarylsulfonium acid salt can thereafter be directly metathesized with an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal polyhalo salt.These compounds have the general formula ##STR1## where Q is selected from .dbd.S.fwdarw.O, --S-- and mixtures thereof, M is a transition metal or metalloid, "c" is an integer of 1 to 3, "d" is an integer of 0 to 3, R.sup.6 is phenyl or naphthyl, R.sup.7 is phenylene or naphthalene optionally substituted with one or more radicals selected from the class consisting of --CH.sub.3, --OCH.sub.3, --CO.sub.2 H, --Br, --Cl, and NO.sub.2.
Abstract:
Polymeric photoactive iodonium salts are provided which are useful as photoinitiators and thermal initiators when used in combination with copper salts for cationically polymerizable organic materials. Methods for making the photoactive polymeric iodonium salts also are provided.
Abstract:
A method is provided for making silicone-organic block polymers, such as polydimethylsiloxane-polystyrene block polymers resulting from the thermal generation of free-radicals in the presence of free-radical polymerizable organic monomer. A silicone prepolymer is used having chemically combined pinacolate groups in the backbone or terminal positions which are capable of generating free-radicals upon thermolysis and which retain chemically combined remnants of such pinacolate diradicals which serve as connecting sites for free-radical polymerized organic blocks.
