Abstract
Abstract The first methacrylate monomers with two type I or type II side-chain photoinitiating groups (PI 1 , PI 2 and PI 3 ) are synthesized from reactions of 2-(chloromethyl)acryloyl chloride and 4-hydroxybenzophenone, 4-hydroxyacetophenone or 2-hydroxy-1-[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]-2-methyl-1-propanone (Irgacure 2959), and polymerized, giving polymeric photoinitiators (PPI 1 , PPI 2 and PPI 3 ). PI1 is also copolymerized with N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEM) to investigate the photoinitiation efficiency of the resulting polymer featuring built-in amine coinitiator. Activities of these photoinitiators together with acetophenone (AP), benzophenone (BP) and Irgacure 2959 are investigated in photopolymerizations of hexane-1,6-diol diacrylate, using photodifferential scanning calorimeter and the kinetic parameters are correlated with the structures of the photoinitiating systems. The results show different photoinitiating activities compared to small molecule commercial analogs: BP-based photoinitiators, PI 1 , PPI 1 and PPI(PI 1 - co -DMAEM), are found to be particularly efficient compared to BP. The Irgacure 2959-based ones appear to be promising as type I photoinitiators.
