“…There is considerable interest in the development of latent polymerization initiators that are inert in monomers or prepolymers under storage conditions. Latent thermal initiators must retain high activity under targeted temperatures while maintaining stability under storage conditions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. We have previously reported that primary alkylamines intercalated with α-zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP) can serve as latent thermal initiators in the reaction of glycidyl phenyl ether (GPE) [11,12] and that intercalation compounds of 1,4-diazabicyclo [2,2,2]octane (DABCO), 1,8-diazabicyclo [5,4,0]undec-7-ene (DBU), imidazole (Im), 2-methylimidazole (2MIm), and 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole (2E4MIm) with α-ZrP (α-ZrP•DABCO, α-ZrP•DBU, α-ZrP•Im, α-ZrP•2MIm, and α-ZrP•2E4MIm, respectively) show good performance as latent thermal initiators in the reaction of GPE with hexahydro-4-methylphthalic anhydride (MHHPA) [13][14][15].…”
