Frontal polymerization: polymerization induced destabilization of peracrylates.

Frontal photopolymerization has attracted much attention in the last decade as it allows the curing of thick films. Unfortunately, the use of peroxides, which feature appropriate storage stability, also requires inappropriately high initiation temperatures. Here, a new approach involving a copolymerisation-induced destabilization of (meth)acrylate-based peroxides that allows lower front temperatures is presented.
