Abstract
Abstract Diaryliodonium salts have been found to be effective thermal initiators for the polymerization of a variety of cationically polymerizable materials including epoxides, cyclic ethers, phenol formaldehyde resins, etc., when used in combination with various cocatalysts. Among the cocatalysts which have been found to be effective are, for example, copper chelates and mixtures of such copper chelates with various reducing agents such as ascorbic acid, tin +2 salts, etc.
