The obtained acrylated hyperbranched polymers alone or with a monofunctional diluent, isobornylene acrylate(IBOA) were further cured by UV radiation. The cured films based on the modified polymers alone all demonstrated poor mechanical properties due to their high network densities and low moving ability of polymer chains. For the composite systems, the cured films demonstrated improved mechanical properties due to the low network densities and high chain moving ability. With more IBOA included in the systems, acrylate groups can react to a higher extent during the curing process.展开更多

The structures and properties of monomers were characterized using ~1 H-NMR, ^(19) F-NMR, dynamic viscosity tests and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). It was determined that all of the fluorinated monomers obtained had much lower viscosity and higher thermostability after the introduction of hexafluorobenzene. Then, UV-curable coatings were prepared using four fluorine-containing aromatic oxetane monomers(FOX1-4); the UV-curing kinetics, with three kinds of initiators, and properties of the cured films were evaluated using real-time Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy, water and diiodomethane contact angle tests, surface energy calculations and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The FTIR spectroscopy results showed that the coatings possessed excellent conversion rate(〉 99% with liquid initiator PAG-201 in 150 s), and as the fluorine content increased, the monomers exhibited decreased mobility with the increasing viscosity and worse solubility with fluorinated monomers, resulting in a lower conversion rate. Moreover, the coatings possessed favorable hydrophobic and oleophobic properties and low surface energies owing to the fluoride chains floating to the membrane-air interface, which was also confirmed by discrete concave structures in SEM images. These new kinds of monomers can replace traditional fluorinated cationic monomers applied to the fingerprint resistant, fouling resistant, scratch resistant and anti-aging coatings, adhesives or printing ink materials.展开更多

The result shows that the rate of ring-opening polymerization is evidently dependent on the acidity of the acid and strong photo-generated acid is required. However, there is a leveling effect in the polycondensation system; if the photo-generated acid is stronger than protonated HMMM, the acidity does not obviously affect the polycondensation rate.展开更多

However, the unreacted layer, the depletion of residual monomers from the cured UV gel nails, which can cause allergy and asthma, and the increase in temperature during curing process, are major concerns. In this study, the thickness of the unreacted layer, the increase in temperature, and the residual contents in cured film of UV gel nail treatment were measured for the first time. The results of this study indicated that the thickness of unreacted layer was not affected by the cast thickness;however, the intensity of UV light and the photoinitiator concentration had significant effect on the thickness of the unreacted layer. To reduce the thickness of the unreacted layer, the intensity of the UV light and the photoinitiator concentration should be increased. However, the maximum temperature observed during the curing of UV gel nails increases with an increase in the intensity of the UV light and the photoinitiator concentration. A suitable cast thickness range (21 ~ 150 μm), which resulted in the formation of a cured film and without producing temperatures that exceed that of the human body, was identified. The mass fraction of the residuals in the cured layer decreased with an increase in the exposure time, the UV intensity, and the photoinitiator concentration.展开更多
