Kinetic Study and New Applications of UV Radiation Curing

Decker, Christian·2002·Macromolecular Rapid Communications

Abstract

Highly crosslinked polymers can be readily synthesized by photoinitiated polymerization of multifunctional monomers or functionalized polymers. The reaction can be followed in situ by real‐time infrared (RT‐IR) spectroscopy, a technique that records conversion versus time curves in photosensitive resins undergoing ultrafast polymerization upon UV exposure. For acrylate‐based resins, UV‐curing proceeds with long kinetic chains (7700 mol/radical) in spite of the high initiation rate. RT‐IR spectroscopy proved very valuable in assessing the influence of various parameters, such as initiation efficiency, chemical structure of the telechelic oligomer, light intensity, inhibitory effect of oxygen, on polymerization kinetics. Interpenetrating polymer networks can be rapidly synthesized by means of UV irradiation of a mixture of difunctional acrylate and epoxy monomers in the presence of both radical and cationic‐type photoinitiators. The same UV technology can be applied to crosslink solid polymers at ambient temperature, which bear different types of reactive groups (acrylate and vinyl double bonds, epoxy ring). UV radiation curing has been successfully used to produce within seconds weathering resistant protective coatings, high‐resolution relief images, glass laminates and nanocomposites materials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
