Until recently, multifunctional vinyl ether monomers have not been employed in UV curing applications. The recent discovery of diaryliodonium and triarylsulfonium salts as new classes of photoinitiators for cationic polylmerization has made it possible to formulate highly photosensitive UV curable coatings based on these monomers. The syntheses of these monomers and their reactivity as a function of their structure is reviewed and evaluated.
