Abstract
Polyurethane-type polymeric photoinitiators containing side-chain thioxanthone and in-chain coinitiator amine were synthesized through stepwise polymerization of diisocyanate,2-(2,3-dihydroxy)propoxy-thioxanthone(HPTX) and N-methyl diethanolamine(MDEA).The thioxanthone and coinitiator amine structures were successfully introduced into the backbones of polymeric photoinitiators.FTIR and 1HNMR analyses confirmed the structures of polymeric photoinitiators.UV-Vis spectra indicated that the macromolecular chain had no obvious effect on the maximal absorption of thioxanthone moieties.Photopolymerization of polyurethane acrylate resin(PUA),initiated by polyurethane-type polymeric thioxanthone photoinitiators,was studied through photo differential scanning calorimetry(photo-DSC).The results indicate that,among the photoinitiators synthesized in this article,PU-IMTX is the most efficient photoinitiator for the photopolymerization of PUA.
