Abstract

The synthesis of novel phosphorus-containing telomers (P-telomers) was conducted via a solution-free UV-initiated telomerization process of butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, and styrene, different phosphorus telogens (dimethyl phosphite (DMPh), dibutyl phosphite (DBPh), diphenyl phosphite (DPPh) or dibutyl phosphate (DBP)), and a radical photoinitiator-acylphosphine oxide (APO). The course of the UV-phototelomerization process was monitored by photo-DSC and the chemical structures of telomers were assessed by FTIR. Final UV-photocurable varnish compositions consisted of prepared P-telomer syrups, crosslinking monomer (pentaerythritol triacrylate; PETIA), and a radical UV-photoinitiator (α-hydroxyalkylphenone, HAP). The influence of P- telomers on the optical and mechanical features of coatings was investigated. Relatively the highest hardness and satisfactory scratch values, as well as water and solvent resistance, were observed for varnish based on DMPh-telomers. While the strongest adhesive bond to a glass substrate was reported for DPPh-telomers. It is worth pointing out that the P-telomers did not affect the gloss values of varnishes in comparison to the telomer-free reference sample.
