Novel photoinitiators provide for polyurethane formation, in which a photoinitiator moiety and a tertiary amine are incorporated into the photoinitiator structure, and thus the polyurethane polymer.
Claims17
A photoinitiator of the formula (I):
- in which:
- Pi is a benzophenone photoinitiator moiety of formula (V):
- wherein Ar1 and Ar2 are optionally substituted phenyl, and Za may be present at any position on Ar2;
- Za and Zb together form a single bond, or a linker in which
- Za is selected from optionally substituted (—(O—(C1-C12 alkylene)))n-, optionally substituted —(NR1—(C1-C12 alkylene)nwherein R1 is H or optionally substituted C1-C12alkyl and optionally substituted —(S—(C1-C12 alkylene))n-;
- wherein n is 1;
- wherein Za is joined to Pi via the O, N or S atom in Za;
- and
- Zb is a single bond;
- X1 and X2 are independently selected from optionally substituted C1-C12 alkylene, optionally substituted C1-C12 alkenylene, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, —O—, —S—, —NR2—,—C(═O)—, —C(═NR2)—, —Si(R2)2—O—, optionally substituted aryl, and combinations thereof, wherein R2 is H or optionally substituted C1-C12 alkyl;
- wherein X1 and X2 may be linked to one another or to Za to form one or more ring structures;
- wherein Za, X1 and X2 are selected such that N is a tertiary amine;
- W1 and W2 are independently selected from alcohol, primary amine, secondary amine, or thiol groups.
