Radiation curing of polymeric materials : developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering at the 197th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Dallas, Texas, April 9-14 1989

This new volume examines both fundamental and applied aspects of UV and EB chemistries in several areas, particularly coatings materials. It offers an overall perspective of the subject, and provides direct insight into the future of this rapidly developing field. Its 36 chapters are divided into six sections, covering photoinitiators, novel radiation photocurable systems, properties of radiation-cured materials, photodegradation of radiation-cured films, radiation curing of cationic polymerization, laser-initiated polymerization, and high-energy radiation curing. A brief summary appears at the beginning of each section.
