Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photoinitiator technology, and in particular to a modified photoinitiator and its preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Photoinitiators are compounds that absorb energy of a specific wavelength in the ultraviolet or visible light region, generating active fragments such as free radicals and cations, thereby initiating monomer polymerization, cross-linking, and curing. Photoinitiators are a crucial component of UV-curable adhesives, playing a decisive role in the curing rate. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, the photoinitiator absorbs light energy and splits into two active free radicals. These free radicals trigger a chain polymerization reaction between the photosensitive resin and the reactive diluent, causing the adhesive to rapidly cross-link and cure. This process is characterized by its speed, environmental friendliness, and energy efficiency. Photoinitiators have wide applications in various fields, such as UV coatings, UV inks, UV adhesives, electronic packaging materials, optoelectronic display materials, medical device sterilization and coating, biomedical materials, and art reproduction and preservation. However, existing photoinitiators exhibit a significant decrease in their ability to capture light energy in deeper regions, resulting in insufficient deep curing capabilities.

[0012] Furthermore, the stabilizing component is one or a combination of several of the following: 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, pentaerythritol tetrakis[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate], tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite, and N-acetylcysteine.

[0013] Furthermore, a preparation process for a modified photoinitiator includes the following steps:

[0014] S1. Add ethanol to the reaction apparatus, then add the photosensitizing component, the initiating component, the dispersing component and the stabilizing component, and stir until completely dissolved to obtain the initial mixture.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. This invention utilizes a rare earth ion complex prepared by reacting yttrium nitrate, ytterbium nitrate, erbium nitrate, and ammonium fluoride as a sensitizing component. This complex inherits the spectral characteristics of rare earth ions, exhibiting strong absorption and emission capabilities for specific wavelengths of light. When the rare earth ion complex is excited with sufficient energy, it transmits energy to surrounding photosensitive or co-initiating components through fluorescence emission, thereby enhancing the modified photoinitiator's ability to capture light energy, thus initiating deeper polymerization reactions and enabling deeper penetration into the material to be cured.

[0022] 2. The rare earth ion complex in this invention establishes a stable chemical bond between rare earth ions and fluoride ions through the formation of coordination bonds. This enhances the dispersibility and compatibility of the complex in the modified photoinitiator and reduces the dissociation or precipitation of rare earth ions due to changes in the external environment, thus ensuring the stability of the modified photoinitiator during long-term storage and use. Furthermore, the formation of the complex endows the rare earth ions with a specific spatial configuration and electronic arrangement. This specific structure alters the light absorption and emission characteristics of the rare earth ions, further improving the light utilization efficiency and light energy capture ability of the modified photoinitiator.

[0056] Comparative Example 3

[0057] The difference between this comparative example and Example 3 is that the raw materials do not contain the co-initiator component.

[0058] I. Depth of Curing

[0059] The modified photoinitiators prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were respectively mixed with epoxy resin at a ratio of 5:95 to obtain a mixed adhesive. The mixed adhesive was then placed into cylindrical containers with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 20 mm, with each container filled to a depth of 15 mm. The containers containing the mixed adhesive were placed directly under a UV lamp at a power of 100 mW / cm². 2 Irradiate the material with light for 60 seconds to cure it, resulting in a cured product. Remove the cured product and remove any incompletely cured portions at the bottom. Measure the height of the cured product with calipers; this is the curing depth. Repeat the above test 5 times and take the average value as the curing depth. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0060] Table 1

[0061]

[0062] Comparing Examples 1-5 with Comparative Examples 1-3 in Table 1, it can be seen that the modified photoinitiator prepared in this application has a better curing depth, especially Example 3, which has a better effect.

[0063] Comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 1, the rare earth ion complex of the sensitizing component in Example 3 was prepared by reacting yttrium nitrate, ytterbium nitrate, erbium nitrate, and ammonium fluoride. This complex inherits the spectral characteristics of rare earth ions, exhibiting strong absorption and emission capabilities for specific wavelengths of light. When the modified photoinitiator is irradiated, the photosensitive component first absorbs light energy and transitions to an excited state. Subsequently, the excited photosensitive component transfers energy to the rare earth ion complex via energy transfer. Due to the unique optical properties of rare earth ion complexes, they can more effectively absorb and store this energy. When the rare earth ion complex is excited with sufficient energy, it then transfers energy to the surrounding photosensitive component or co-initiator component by emitting fluorescence, thereby improving the modified photoinitiator's ability to capture light energy, thus initiating a deeper polymerization reaction and penetrating the material to be cured more deeply. Simultaneously, the introduction of rare earth ion complexes broadens the absorption spectral range of the modified photoinitiator. Because rare earth ions can absorb and emit light of specific wavelengths, this light may not otherwise be absorbed or utilized by the photosensitive component. Through the energy transfer mechanism of rare earth ion complexes, this originally unused light energy is converted into effective energy that can initiate polymerization reactions, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of light energy and indirectly improving the ability to capture light energy, thus enhancing the deep curing capability.

[0064] Comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 2, the rare earth ion complex establishes a stable chemical bond between rare earth ions and fluoride ions through the formation of coordination bonds. This enhances the dispersibility and compatibility of the complex in the modified photoinitiator and reduces the dissociation or precipitation of rare earth ions due to changes in the external environment, thus ensuring the stability of the modified photoinitiator during long-term storage and use. Furthermore, the formation of the complex endows the rare earth ions with a specific spatial configuration and electronic arrangement. This specific structure alters the light absorption and emission characteristics of the rare earth ions, further improving the light utilization efficiency and light energy capture ability of the modified photoinitiator. In the rare earth ion complex, the interaction between the rare earth ions and ligands promotes the efficient transfer of energy between the ions and ligands. When the photosensitive component absorbs light energy and transitions to an excited state, this energy is more easily transferred to the rare earth ions through the complex structure, thereby triggering the fluorescence emission of the rare earth ions.

[0065] Comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 3, Example 3, by adding a co-initiator, can react with the free radicals generated by the photosensitive component to generate more reactive free radicals, thereby accelerating the polymerization reaction. During deep curing, the generation rate of free radicals slows down as light intensity decreases with depth. The presence of the co-initiator can compensate for this deficiency, generating more active free radicals through its reaction with primary free radicals, thus driving the polymerization reaction to deeper levels. The co-initiator can also lower the initiation threshold of the photoinitiator, meaning that polymerization can be initiated at lower light intensities. This is particularly important for deep curing because light intensity gradually decreases with increasing curing depth, and the addition of the co-initiator allows the modified photoinitiator to effectively initiate polymerization even under lower light conditions. Furthermore, during deep curing, the degree of polymer crosslinking may be affected by reduced light intensity and lower free radical concentration. The addition of the co-initiator can compensate for this deficiency by increasing the number of crosslinking points, thereby improving the crosslinking density and mechanical properties of the polymer.

[0066] II. Migration Measurement

[0067] The modified photoinitiators prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were mixed with acrylate resin at a ratio of 2:98 to form a uniform coating with a thickness of 2 mm, which was then cured under ultraviolet light. The cured films were ground into powder, and 200 mg of each powder was weighed out and placed in 2 mL of acetonitrile, where it was allowed to stand for 48 h. After 48 h of soaking, the powder was stirred for 3 min, and then filtered to obtain a filtrate. The filtered powder was washed twice with acetonitrile, and the acetonitrile used for washing was poured back into the filtrate, which was then brought to a final volume of 10 mL. The absorbance of the maximum absorption peak of the photoinitiator was measured using a spectrophotometer. The migration rate of the photoinitiator was quantitatively calculated according to Beer-Lambert law. Each sample was tested 5 times, and the average value was recorded as the migration rate in Table 2. The migration rate was calculated using the following formula:

[0068]

[0069] In the formula, A is the absorbance, M is the relative atomic mass of the photoinitiator, V is the total volume of the solution, ε is the molar absorptivity of the photoinitiator in the solution, l is the optical path length, and m0 is the mass of the photoinitiator added to the cured film.

[0070] Table 2

[0071] Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 3 % Migration 0.35 0.34 0.31 0.32 0.35 0.53 0.71 0.84

[0072] As shown in Table 2, the modified photoinitiator prepared according to this invention has a low migration rate. This is because the carboxyl groups in the photosensitive component of this invention can undergo esterification with the hydroxyl groups in the resin matrix to form ester bonds, thereby fixing the photosensitive component in the resin matrix. The rare earth ion complexes, as sensitizing components, adhere to the surface of the resin matrix through physical adsorption. Simultaneously, their central ions, such as yttrium, ytterbium, and erbium, form coordination bonds with oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing ligands in the resin matrix, thereby enhancing the interaction between the complexes and the resin matrix. The rare earth ion complexes also form stable structures with functional groups in the resin matrix through their multidentate ligand structures, further contributing to the fixation of the complexes in the resin matrix. The co-initiating component accelerates the diffusion and propagation of free radicals in the resin matrix, allowing the polymerization reaction to occur more uniformly throughout the entire resin matrix, contributing to the formation of a denser and more stable resin network structure, thus limiting the migration of the modified photoinitiator molecules.

[0073] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
