Photopolymerization of resins upon irradiation with visible light is commonly photoinitiated by the pair camphorquinone (CQ)/amine. Low-molecular-weight amines have intrinsic disadvantages such as odour, toxicity, and migration in UV-curing technology. These complications may be avoided by the use of high molecular weight photoinitiators that reduce the tendency to migrate. In this regard, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (SSQO) appear as an interesting approach to increase the size of the...
Photopolymerization of resins upon irradiation with visible light is commonly photoinitiated by the pair camphorquinone (CQ)/amine. Low-molecular-weight amines have intrinsic disadvantages such as odour, toxicity, and migration in UV-curing technology. These complications may be avoided by the use of high molecular weight photoinitiators that reduce the tendency to migrate. In this regard, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (SSQO) appear as an interesting approach to increase the size of the amine molecules. The present study was carried out in order to explore the possibility of using silsesquioxanes bearing pendant tertiary amine groups as coinitiator of CQ. The photopolymerization of methacrylate monomers using CQ in combination with amine functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (ASSQO) at loadings between 0 and 30 wt% was investigated.
