Radiation Curing — A Personal Perspective

  • Chapter
Radiation Curing

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Chemistry ((TAPP))

Abstract

Radiation curing involves the polymerization and cross-linking of functional monomers and oligomers (usually liquid) into a cross-linked polymer network (usually a solid film) induced by photons (UV curing) or electrons (EB curing). Curing can occur by either free radical or cationic polymerization, although the former process has commercial predominance. Several volumes on radiation curing are available.1–5
