Popis: | Functional silicone copolymers containing one or several types of pendant ester groups including a benzophenone or a thioxanthone chromophore, and/or a tertiary amine were used to prepare novel photo-initiating systems based on the phenone - amine photogeneration of radicals. The influence of the nature and relative amounts of the functional pendant units on the overall efficiency of the various initiating systems was evaluated by measuring the rate of polymerization of an acrylate based composition. By comparing the results obtained from different combinations of polymeric or low molecular weight reactants, a neat polymer effect inducing a greater initiation efficiency is evidenced, especially when a polysiloxane containing only aromatic carbonyl ester groups is associated with free 4-dimethylaminobenzoic esters as hydrogen donors. Time-resolved spectroscopy performed with thioxanthone functional systems indicates that the favourable effect on the apparent polymerization rate is not correlated with the rate of quenching of the triplet excited state by a tertiary amine. The polymer effect can rather be explained by the microheterogeneity of the distribution of the partners in the complex initiation process. |
