  • Supramolecular initiator for latent cationic epoxy polymerization
    Patent number: 10093770
    Abstract: A mixture may include at least one polymerizable species and at least one thermoresponsive supramolecular initiator complex involving a host-guest interaction. Processes for making resins may include mixing at least one polymerizable species with at least one thermoresponsive supramolecular initiator complex involving a host-guest interaction; subjecting the mixture to a temperature above about 30° C. thereby promoting the dissociation of the at least one thermoresponsive supramolecular initiator; and allowing the mixture to cure at the temperature for a period of time.
