  • Initiators for polymerization
    Patent number: 5223591
    Abstract: Initiators for cationic polymerization by thermal activation, photochemical activation (UV-irradiation) or activation by electron bombardment are compounds wherein a heterocyclic, aryl substituted or aryl ring is fused to a sulfonium moiety in combination with a non-nucleophilic anion. During the activation of the initiator, a carbon-sulfur bond is broken leading to formation of a sulfide and a carbonium ion within the same molecule. The carbonium ion initiates the polymerization.
