On The Mechanism Of The Electron-Initiated Curing

IntroductionThe term "curing" has been defined as "The use of electron beam or ultraviolet radiation asan energy source to induce the rapid conversion of especially formulated 100 % reactiveliquids to solids"Multifunctional acrylates are widely used in radiation curable formulations and as crosslinkingagents in industrial curing applications.In con

New Mechanistic And Practical Aspects In Photoinitiators And Photosensitizers For Conventional And Laser Curing Of Multifunctional Organic Materials

INTRODUCTIONAs known, the fast development during the last decade of high performanceUV-cürable systems hasinduced a growing number of applications in variousindustrial areas [1]. The basic idea in the particular photopolymerization processis to subject a monomer to a UV irradiation in order to generate an active species,which in turn leads to a po

An Introduction to EB Equipment and Trends for the 90's

INTRODUCTIONThe drying of coatings, inks, and adhesives with electron beam(EB) systems has been commercially successful for more than fifteen years.As the markets for EB dryers have diversified, the drying systems haveevolved to accommodate a variety of products and production requirements.Also, the radiation-curable chemistries and the scope of ap
