Preparation and photochemical properties of PEG based alpha-hydroxyalkylphenone photoinitiator

Highly homogeneous and stable single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersion modified by polyvinylpyrrolidone and alkanolamine in water

A novel noncovalent surface modification of commercial single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was successfully carried out by using ball grinding technology between SWCNTs and mixed dispersants (polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and alkanolamine), affording a highly homogeneous and stable PA-SWCNTs dispersion in water. The homogeneous dispersibility and long storage stability were systematically investigated by transmittance spectroscopy, absorption spectroscopy, zeta potential analyzer, sedimentation photo and transmittance electron microscopy. Under the optimized conditions, the PA-SWCNTs dispersion modified with 0.7 wt% PVP and 0.25 wt% alkanolamine under the condition of total 6 h ball grinding time using paint shaker can be easily well-dispersed in water and has good storage stability, and no sedimentation is observed more than one month. From an industrial perspective, this method is green and easy to operate in industry.

Cyclopolymerizable and cyclopolymeric photoinitiators from diallyl amine and α-hydroxy ketones

Two novel cyclopolymerizable and one cyclopolymeric (first in the literature) PIs with high reactivity, controllable water solubility, migration stability and high thermal stability were synthesized by attachment of diallyl amine to I2959 or I184.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Trifunctional Photoinitiator Based on Two Commercial Photoinitiators with α-Hydroxyl Ketone Structure

A trifunctional photoinitiator based on commercial photoinitiators 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone (Irgacure1173) and 2-hydroxy-4′-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone (Irgacure2959) was synthesized by an esterization reaction. Its structure was characterized by UV-Vis spectrometry, Infrared Transformed Fourier, Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra, 13 Carbon Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra, Mass Spectrometry, and Thermogravimetry. In addition, its photoinitiating activity was investigated. The results showed that the novel photoinitiator had good photoinitiating activity and thermal stability compared to commercial photoinitiators. The migration of the residual photoinitiator in the cured film was lower than that of 1173 and 2959.
