5. This term could be used only for situations where chemical reaction shares common intermediates with the corresponding photochemical process.
6. The word "photopolymer" is generally used to mean a polymer or polymeric mixture that is generally formed by a photopolymerization process. The advantages of photopolymerization are well-known. Photopolymerizations are fast, they can be turned on and off, the systems form so-called "all-solids" polymers, and so forth. For a complete review the reader is directed to: Neckers, D. C.; Jager, W. Chemistry & Technology of UV & EB Formulations for Coatings, Inks, and Paints.

7. As requested by one of the reviewers, a more detailed discussion on the importance of remote cure follows. Development of the technology which enables polymerization without direct use of light and/or heat is important and represents a needed innovation in the area of coatings. We have had a strong indication from several manufacturers (through our collaborations) regarding the need for such technology. Any object having a complex 3-dimensional shape would be a challenge to cure with light as light requires direct line of sight. Painting of submarine ballast tanks and rear spoilers for cars already attached to the main body can serve as two examples of many applications where remote cure technology can be successfully used. Use of blue LED arrays and/or fiber optics will simply not work because both methodologies might lack sufficient power and the latter can only provide cure for a small spot. While curing of the coating required some carefully designed methodology, the application of the coating to the 3-dimensional object could be accomplished by a simple submersion.
