Abstract

[Objective]In order to achieve the efficient matching of photoinitiators with UV-Vis LED light sources.[Methods] A novel UV-Vis light-responsive one-component free radical photoinitiator,(hydroxy(4-(10-phenylanthracen-9-yl)phenyl)methyl)diphenylphosphine oxide(DPOH),was designed and synthesized by introducing 9,10-diphenylanthracene into the structure of hydroxylphosphine oxide,and it was found that its precursor compound,4-(10-phenylanthracen-9-yl) benzaldehyde(DPO),also exhibited excellent photoinitiation properties. The absorption and photolysisbehaviors of DPOH and DPO were investigated by UV-Vis spectrophotometer,and the photoinitiationmechanisms of the synthesized photoinitiators were speculated by electron paramagnetic resonance andmass spectrometry analysis,the thermal stability was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry,and real-time infrared spectroscopy was conducted to investigate thephotopolymerization kinetics of photoinitiators.[Results]DPOH and DPO exhibited significant light absorption capabilities in the near-ultraviolet to visible(UV-Vis)region. The double bond conversionof trimethylolpropane triacrylate initiated by DPOH and DPO could reach 49%~68%,and that of ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate could reach 87% and 95%,respectively. The thermal decomposition temperatures of DPOH and DPO were 253 ℃ and 330 ℃,respectively. When mixed with trimethylolpropane triacrylate,their thermal polymerization onset temperatures were 176 ℃ and 187 ℃, demonstrating outstanding thermal stability.[Conclusion]DPOH and DPO are highly efficient and stable cleavable LED photoinitiators,demonstrating significant potential for applications in photocurable materials.
