Radical Polymerization of Alkyl 2-Cyanoacrylates

Radical Polymerization of Alkyl 2-Cyanoacrylates

Cyanoacrylates (CAs) are well-known fast-setting adhesives, which are sold as liquids in the presence of stabilizers. Rapid anionic polymerization on exposure to surface moisture is responsible for instant adhesion. The more difficult, but synthetically more useful radical polymerization is only pos...
