Abstract: The photosensitivity of cationic polymerization of cycloaliphatic diepoxide oligomer ERL-4221 initiated by photoinitiator[CpFe(η6-tol)]BF4 has been studied.The main absorptions λ max are 374 nm and 450 nm which are longer than those of diaryliodonium salts.The optimized photosensitivity is 283.8 mJ/cm2 when irradiated by 365 nm UV-ray,which is better than tol2I+BF4-.Meanwhile,the promotion of some kinds of organic peroxides on polymerization of alicyclic diexpoxide oligomer which initiated by[CpFe(η6-tol)]BF4 have been studied.lt shows that BPO and CHP could promote the initiation of[CpFe(η6-tol)]BF4 significantly,in accordance with the oxidability and concentration of the peroxide.The mechanism of the sensitization has been discussed preliminarily.
