Description

[0001] Photocurable Organopolysiloxane Resin Background of the Invention The present invention relates to a photocurable polyorganosiloxane resin and a bisacylphosphine oxide photoinitiator. UV or LED initiated curing of polymers is desirable for high throughput processing. Curing is induced by a photoinitiator that is compatible with the polymers; for organopolysiloxane curing systems, however, compatibility is a long-standing and heretofore unsolved problem. Photoinitiators with poor compatibility are undesirable as curing agents because they separate from the silicone matrix during storage, resulting in ineffective cure, undesired haze, and coating defects of the cured product. US 10,597,413 B2 (Tan) describes an acyl phosphine oxide substituted with -CH2-O-Si(OR)3 groups, a typical example of which is the following compound: Si Although Tan discloses that these photoinitiators address a long-standing solubility problem, it is evident that another problem is introduced, namely susceptibility to acid cleavage of the silyl ether bond (CH2-OSi), thereby rendering the photoinitiator incompatible with the silicone matrix. It would therefore be an advantage in the art of photoinitiation in silicone systems to achieve solubility and with maintenance of stability. Summary of the Invention The present invention addresses a need in the art by providing a composition comprising a bisacylphosphine oxide photoinitiator, a mercapto-C3-C12-alkyl functionalized organopolysiloxane, and an alkene functionalized organopolysiloxane, wherein the bisacylphosphine oxide photoinitiator is a compound of Formula 1: where m is 0, 1, 2, or 3; and n is 0, 1 R1is -phenyl-(R3)n, -C(O)-phenyl-(R2)m, -O-C1-C20-alkyl, or -O(CH2CH2O)x-H, where x is from 1 to 20; each R2is independently C1-C6-alkyl; C1-C6-alkoxy; -OCH2-phenyl; or R2together with an adjacent R2on the phenyl ring is a 1,3-dioxolane group or a 1,4-dioxane group; each R3is independently C1-C6-alkyl or C1-C6-alkoxy; R4is i) –(Si(Me )) ( 5 2 p CH2)q(Si(R 2)O)r(X)s-Y; where p is 0 or 1 with the proviso that when p is 0, q is 3 to 12, and when p is 1, q is 2 to 12; r is from 3 to 300; X is CH2CH2or CH(CH3); s is 0 or 1 with the proviso that when s is 0, Y is SiMe2H, and when s is 1, Y is Si(OMe)3; SiMe3; Si(OEt)3; SiMe2OMe; SiMe2OEt; Si(OSiMe3)3; SiMe(OSiMe3)2; SiMe2(OSiMe3); or ; where the dashed line is the point of attachment from Y to X; and each R5is independently C1-C6-alkyl or phenyl; or R4is ii) –(Si(Me2))p(CH2)t-Z; where p is 0 or 1 with the proviso that when p is 0, t is 4 and when p is 1, t is 2; and Z is either: where the dashed line is the po nt o attac ment rom to ( 2)t. The composition of the present invention addresses a need in the art by providing an organopolysiloxane composition that can be cured by UV or LED to form a haze free, defect free coating.

In one aspect, R1is -C(O)-phenyl-(R2)m. An example of a preferred R1group is represented by the following structure: In one aspect, R4is –(Si(Me2))p(CH2)q(Si(R5 2)O)r(X)s-Y; in another aspect, each R5is methyl. In one aspect, when p is 0, q is 3 or 4; in another aspect, when p is 1, q is 2; r is from 3 or from 6 or from 10, to 300 or to 200 or to 100 or to 50. The compound of Formula I can be prepared as described in Schemes 1 to 3. Where R1is -C(O)-phenyl-(R2)m, and R4is in the para position of benzene ring, the compound of Formula I can be prepared in accordance with Scheme 1. The reaction conditions for each step are described in the experimental section. Scheme 1 where q' is 1 to 10 when p is 0, and q' is 0 to 10 when p is 1.

[0003] Alternatively, where R1is -C(O)-phenyl-(R2)m, the compound of the present invention can be prepared by reacting the final Intermediate with either compound A or B: where X is CH2CH2or CH(CH3). Where p is 1, the first compound in Scheme 1 can be prepared by contacting in a first step a dibromobenzene, particularly p-dibromobenzene, with a vinyl dimethylsilyl chloride in the presence of n-butyl lithium to form the following intermediate: where b is from 0 to 10. Where p is 0, the first compound, especially where q′ is 2, can be prepared as described in Li, Y.-L.; Song, D.-P.; Pan, L.; Ma, Z.; Li, Y.-S. Polym. Chem.2019, 10, 6368-6378. Where R1is -O-C1-C20-alkyl, or -O(CH2CH2O)x-H, the compound of Formula I can be prepared in accordance with Scheme 2.

[0004] Scheme 2 Where R1is -phenyl-(R3)n , the compound of Formula I can be prepared in accordance with Scheme 3. Scheme 3 The concentration of photoinitiator core portion of the photoinitiator is typically in the range of from 0.01 wt.% or from 0.05 wt%, or from 0.1 wt% to 10 wt% or to 4 wt.% or to 2 wt.%, based on the weight of the composition. As used herein, “photoinitiator core” refers to the following fragment of the bisacylphosphine oxide photoinitiator: where q′ is 1 to 10 when p is 0, and q′ is 0 to 10 when p is 1. The mercapto-C3-C12-alkyl functionalized organopolysiloxane may be linear or branched. For example, the mercapto-C3-C12-alkyl functionalized organopolysiloxane may contain one or more silicon atoms attached to two oxygen atoms and two C1-C6-alkyl groups, two phenyl groups, or one C1-C6-alkyl and one phenyl group (“D” units); one or more silicon atoms attached to three oxygen atoms and one C1-C6-alkyl group or one phenyl group (“T” units), or one or more silicon atoms attached to three oxygen atoms (“Q” units). An example of a class of mercapto-C3-C12- alkyl functionalized organopolysiloxanes comprising D units is represented by Formula 2: where each R1′is -CH2CH2(CH2)z-SH; each R2′is independently methyl or -CH2CH2(CH2)z-SH; x is from 2 to 1000; y is from 0 to 100; and each z is from 1 to 10, with the proviso that when y is 0, at least one of the R2′groups is -CH2CH2(CH2)z-SH; and with the further proviso that when each R2′is methyl, y is from 1 to 100. Preferably, z is from 1 to 8; more preferably, z is from 1 to 4; most preferably, z is 1. Preferably, x is from 10 or from 20, to 500 or to 100. Preferably, when y is 0, both R2′groups are -CH2CH2(CH2)z-SH groups; more preferably, when y is 0, both R2′groups are -CH2CH2CH2SH groups. Similarly, when both R2′groups are methyl, the R1′groups are preferably -CH2CH2CH2SH groups. The concentration of the mercapto-C3-C12-alkyl functionalized organopolysiloxane is typically in the range of from 1 or from 3 weight percent, to 70 or to 30 or to 20 weight percent, based on the combined weights of the mercapto-C3-C12-alkyl functionalized organopolysiloxane and the alkene functionalized organopolysiloxane. Examples of alkene functionalized organopolysiloxanes include divinyl, diallyl, and dihexenyl functionalized organopolysiloxanes. An example of a divinyl functionalized polydimethylsiloxane is shown in Formula 3: where a is from 10 to 10,000. The concentration of the alkene functionalized organopolysiloxanes is typically in the range of 5 or from 30 or from 70 weight percent, to 99 or to 90 weight percent, based on the combined weights of the mercapto-C3-C12-alkyl functionalized organopolysiloxane and the alkene functionalized organopolysiloxane. Commercially available organopolysiloxanes include XIAMETER™ RBL-9119 Organopolysiloxane and XIAMETER™ RBL-9128 Organopolysiloxane (XIAMETER is a Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company or its Affiliates.) Another example of an alkene functionalized organopolysiloxane comprises an organopolysiloxane with Si-C1-C6-alkoxysilyl functionality and Si-alkenyl functionality, which may be used in addition to a compound of Formula 3 or place of it. Examples of organopolyiloxanes with Si-C1-C6-alkoxysilyl functionality and Si-alkenyl functionality are disclosed in WO 2020 / 076620 A1. One such dual functional compound is the compound of Formula 4:

[0005]

[0006] Formula 4 where b is from 1 to 5000.

[0007] Additionally, the composition may further comprise an organopolysiloxane with Ci-Ce- alkoxysilane groups.

[0008] Where moisture cure is desired, the composition advantageously comprises a moisture cure catalyst such as a titanium catalyst, and example of which is titanium dioxide acetoacetate complex, commercially available as Tyzor PITA-SM Organic Titanate.

[0009] The composition of the present invention is capable of undergoing UV cure or moisture cure with the inclusion of a single compound with dual Si-alkenyl / Si-alkoxy functionality or a mixture of compounds with Si-alkenyl and Si-alkoxy functionalities.
