Abstract

Two alternative curing mechanisms may be used; free radical polymerization and cationic polymerization. Free radical polymerization currently dominates because of its low cost and the ease of design afforded by a wide selection of usable monomers. Cationic polymerization is a new process but has become to get many attracts because of its unique advantages. One of the challenges of the cationic polymerization is the tendency to be affected by moisture. Studying about the polymerization under several moisture levels, we found the reactivity of monomers controlled the effect of moisture. We will report results of mechanistic study of the effect as well as ink performances at high humidity environment.
