Solution Overview

Problem

The existing polymerizable compounds with (meth)acryloyl and isocyanate groups face challenges in achieving sufficient reactivity due to the different reactivities of their functional groups, leading to inadequate reaction acceleration and potential adverse effects on the physical properties of the cured products when traditional catalysts are used.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a reaction accelerator with a (meth)acryloyl group and a halogenated carbamoyl group, which improves the reactivity of both the (meth)acryloyl and isocyanate groups, enhancing the reaction rates during urethanization and radical polymerization reactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional catalysts (amine-based or metal catalysts) are used to accelerate the reaction of polymerizable compound with hydroxyl group, then reaction acceleration is achieved, but substrates do not show sufficient reaction accelerating effects and the catalyst may adversely affect the physical properties of the reaction product

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereaction accelerationVSAvoidphysical properties of reaction product
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an amine compound as an intermediary substance that mediates the reaction between the polymerizable compound and hydroxyl group. The amine compound temporarily binds with the isocyanate group to form a more reactive intermediate species, which then reacts with the hydroxyl group to form the urethane bond. This intermediary mechanism accelerates the reaction without requiring traditional catalysts that may leave harmful residues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the chemical parameters of the reaction system by introducing compounds with specific functional groups (amine groups with particular structures). These parameter changes in molecular structure and reactivity enable sufficient reaction acceleration while maintaining the purity and physical properties of the final product, as the amine compounds used are stoichiometric reagents rather than catalytic additives.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If a polymerizable compound with (meth)acryloyl group and isocyanate group is used, then two-stage reaction capability is achieved, but the different reactivities of the two functional groups make it difficult to control the reaction process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetwo-stage reaction capabilityVSAvoidreaction process control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the reaction process into two distinct stages by selectively controlling which functional group reacts at each stage. The first stage involves the isocyanate group reacting with the amine compound, and the second stage involves the (meth)acryloyl group undergoing radical polymerization. This segmentation is achieved by controlling reaction conditions such as temperature, additives, and reaction sequence, making the dual-functional compound easier to handle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-reacting the isocyanate group with the amine compound before the radical polymerization of the (meth)acryloyl group. This preliminary urethanization reaction reduces the reactivity difference between the two functional groups, allowing for better control of the overall reaction process and enabling sequential reaction without cross-interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
