Abstract

Developing cationic photopolymerizable fluorosilicone monomers is one of theimportant research directions in the field of photopolymerization. A fluorosilicone glycidyl ether epoxy monomer(FSi-GE)was synthesized by using readily available raw materials and simple synthesis process,and the monomer structure was characterized using NMR andFT-IR. The influence of FSi-GE on polymerization kinetics,surface water resistance,heat resistance and tensile properties of the cationic photopolymerization system comprised of3,4-epoxy-cyclohexyl methyl 3,4-epoxy-cyclohexyl formate(E4221)and 1,2-epoxy-4-vinylcyclohexane(VOH)was investigated. The results showed that when FSi-GE amount was increased from 0 to 0. 5%,the final conversion of epoxy group of the system was increased from 60. 6% to 65. 7%,the surface water contact angle was increased from 56. 9° to 104. 6°,the elongation at break was increased from 22. 96% to 41. 22%,and the heat resistance was also improved. However,with the further increase of FSi-GE amount,the surface water contact angle,heat resistance and elongation at break presented a slightly decreasing,which indicated that the appropriate FSi-GE amount could effectively improve the final conversion, hydrophobicity,heat resistance and mechanical properties of E4221/VOH system.
