The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a TTA-UC type
photoinitiator with a polyhedral oligomeric
silsesquioxane skeleton, and belongs to the technical field of photoinitiators. The
photosensitizer absorbs photons to an
excited singlet state, reaches a
triplet state through
intersystem crossing and then transfers energy to the
annihilation agent grafted to POSS through triplet-triplet energy, the
annihilation agent is subjected to up-conversion and then transfers energy to the
photoinitiator, the
photoinitiator is cracked to generate free radicals, and free
radical polymerization is initiated. The design of the photoinitiator is based on TTA-UC and POSS-SH8, 9, 10-diphenyl
anthracene and 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzoyl phenyl
ethyl phosphonate are modified to obtain double bonds DPA and TPO-L, and the double bonds DPA and TPO-L are subjected to reaction
grafting with the POSS-SH8 through
thiol-ene click. According to the POSS-SH8, an
annihilation agent and a photoinitiator are covalently linked to regulate and control the molecular spacing, so that the
energy transfer efficiency is improved; when being compounded with a
photosensitizer for use, the
photosensitizer can be excited under a visible light or near-
infrared light source; the sulfydryl in the POSS-SH8 can consume
oxygen and form an
oxygen barrier layer to isolate air, and shows good
initiation efficiency in experiments.
