丙烯酸酯/液晶体系的光聚合反应动力学对PDLC电光性质的影响

采用光-示差扫描量热法(P-DSC)和光-流变学(P-Rheology)技术,测定了丙烯酸酯/液晶体系的光聚合反应动力学和凝胶化时间.基于自催化模型和凝胶时间-温度关系,计算了体系的光聚合反应速率常数和活化能,探讨了单体结构与组成、反应温度对体系光聚合动力学的影响,并研究了聚合物分散液晶(PDLC)的电光响应行为与相分离结构对光聚合动力学的依赖性.结果表明,升高反应温度、增加体系的单体反应活性和平均官能度,均提高了体系的光聚合速率常数,缩短了光聚合凝胶时间.随着单体反应活性和平均官能度的提高,体系的光聚合反应活化能明显降低,且凝胶化前的光聚合反应活化能低于光聚合全过程的平均反应活化能.当液晶含量为50%时,形成的PDLC呈亚微米尺度的双连续相结构.随着光聚合反应温度的升高,光聚合速率加快,导致凝胶时间缩短、相分离程度降低,使PDLC中液晶相尺寸变小、聚合物网络致密化,PDLC的弛豫时间延长、饱和电压降低,而开启时间和阈值电压变化不大.

Influence of temperature and light intensity on the photocuring process and kinetics parameters of a pigmented UV curable system

The photopolymerization of pigmented coatings is a great challenge and hardly investigated in the literature. Therefore, in this work, the effect of photopolymerization temperature and light intensity on the curing behavior of a TiO₂-pigmented UV curable epoxy acrylate system was investigated by using photo-differential scanning calorimetry (photo-DSC) analysis. The rate of conversion and ultimate conversion at four different temperatures (i.e., 25, 45, 65, and 85 °C) and four light intensities (i.e. 2, 20, 40 and 80 mW cm^?2) for unpigmented and pigmented formulations were measured. The effect of photo-polymerization temperature and light intensity on the kinetics constants was also evaluated. It was observed that the rate of conversion and final conversion values were affected by the temperature and UV-light intensity. It was seen that the rate of conversion and ultimate conversion had their maximum values at 65 °C for unpigmented formulations. However, in pigmented formulations, these two parameters improved by increasing the temperature even up to 85 °C. Increasing the temperature caused an increase in the amount of propagation and termination rate constants in both pigmented and unpigmented formulations although the changes in the pigmented formulation were more pronounced. It was observed that the rate of polymerization and ultimate conversion for unpigmented formulations increased by increasing the light intensity up to 20 mW cm^?2 and then decreased. On the other hand, it was found that these two parameters increased by increasing light intensity up to 40 mW cm^?2 when pigmented formulations used. Finally, the dependence of termination and propagation kinetics constants on light intensity was established for both unpigmented and pigmented coatings.

Sesamin as a co-initiator for UV photopolymerization

Sesamin, a nature compound from sesame seed, which contains two cyclic acetal structures, was used as a co-initiator for UV polymerization initiator system, and 1,6-Hexanedioldiacrylate was used as the photopolymerization monomer. Photopolymerization kinetics was recorded by real-time infrared spectroscopy. For BP/Sesamin initiator system, the double bond conversion increased with the increase of Sesamin concentration and light intensity. Combination of p-chlorobenzophenone and Sesamin had the highest initiating reactivity. The polymerization rate and final double bond conversion of acrylate monomer were higher than that of methacrylate monomer.     

Real-time FTIR-ATR spectroscopy of photopolymerization reactions

Real-time FTIR-ATR spectroscopy was used to study radical photo-polymerization reactions. Investigations on various acrylate systems deal with the effect of temperature on the kinetics of the polymerization reaction and the characterization of the depth profile of the conversion of double bonds. Moreover, first results on the photoinitiator-free photopolymerization of acrylates by exposure to short-wavelength UV radiation will be reported. The potential of the method will also be demonstrated in simulations of various irradiation regimes in technical UV curing processes.     

Combining photo-cleavable and hydrogen-abstracting groups in quinoxaline with thioether bond as hybrid photoinitiator

We synthesized four diphenylquinoxaline derivatives(SQs) with phenyl-thioether units, which combine photo-cleavable and hydrogen-abstracting groups in one molecule. The photochemistry and photopolymerization of SQs were investigated. SQs possess suitable UV-vis absorption in the range of 350-400 nm with high extinction coefficients. UV-vis and HPLC-MS spectra revealed that C–S bond in phenyl-thioether group of SQs can be broken by irradiation of UV-light. Photolysis and photopolymerization experiments showed that SQs can be used as photo-cleavable photointiators,their photoinitiating efficiency can be enhanced by hydrogen donor. As photo-cleavable photoinitiators,SQs could initiate hexamethylene diacrylate(HDDA) very efficiently with the double bond conversion(DBC) of 80%. In the presence of ethyl-4-(dimethylamino) benzoate(EDB) as coinitiator, photoinitiator systems initiated photopolymerization of commercial acrylate monomers with higher double bond conversion than 90%. These characteristics make SQs potential photoinitiators in photo-curing field.     

Zirconium complexes to overcome oxygen inhibition in free‐radical photopolymerization of acrylates: Kinetic,mechanism, and depth profiling

The photopolymerization process of acrylate coatings initiated by visible light (λ > 380 nm) and performed in air was studied in the presence of zirconium complexes. Depth profiling experiments were performed using confocal Raman microscopy showing that the conversion, which is low at the surface of the sample, increases with increasing depth and reaches a full conversion close to the substrate. RT‐FTIR spectroscopy corroborates Raman results in evidencing the efficiency of some zirconium compounds to reduce oxygen inhibition. Finally, laser flash photolysis experiments revealed that the beneficial effect in air is attributable to the reaction of the zirconium complex on the peroxyl radicals formed from the reaction of oxygen with radicals. Therefore, the oxygen present in the medium is depleted, allowing a better efficiency of the photopolymerization process. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2011
