Key Details
Official Description
Frontal polymerization is the process of curing a resin monomer into a polymer with a localized self-sustaining and moving reaction zone. Frontal polymerization has many benefits over traditional resin cure methods, such as reduced cure time from many hours to seconds or minutes [Refs 1,-2], a significant reduction of the energy required to cure (in some cases over 99.5%) [Ref 3], and reduced cost associated with curing a resin [Ref 3]. Frontal polymerization has many potential applications su...
