Epoxides are frequently used in coatings due to their great adhesion most materials, high resistance towards chemicals and well-defined material properties. Onium salts such as iodonium sulfonium one of the widespread classes initiators light-induced cationic polymerization epoxides. We successfully synthesized onium based on group 14 16 elements periodic table. They were then characterized usi...

UV-initiated cationic frontal polymerization is exploited as a solvent-free, extremely fast, and low-temperature technique to obtain epoxy-based adhesives. Epoxy formulations are prepared by blending commercial resins at different weight ratios adding photo thermal initiators percentages. In addition, the influence of other critical parameters, including joint thickness, nature adherends, tempe...
