Optimizing frontal polymerization of different epoxy resins for magnetocuring by Tay, Jerry Rong Yao

“…Some of the shortcomings of the classical curing method have been overcome by a recently developed strategy known as frontal polymerization by which, the curing of the epoxy resin is achieved through the activation of a localized reaction zone. The curing reaction at the localized zone can be triggered through UV-light or heat activation. …”
