In the past, binder systems had to be limited to systems where the catalytically initiated polymerization exotherm was low. With radiation‐initiated polymerization, this is not a problem, and the number of monomers which can now be investigated is unlimited. Based upon the styrene–benzoyl peroxide system, addition of peroxide sensitizers significantly decrease the radiation dose required for 100% conversion.
