A new approach to the synthesis of macrophotoinitiators (MPIs) was developed and their effective application for curing polymer composites after immobilization on the surface of diverse mineral fillers was demonstrated. The MPIs were shown to be effective surface modifiers and photoinitiators for mineral fillers.
Photopolymer composites are the materials with wide application potential in paints and varnishes, diverse lithographic processes, electronics, medicine, and so forth. Here a new approach to the synthesis of macrophotoinitiators (MPIs) were developed and their effective application for curing polymer composites after immobilization on the surface of diverse mineral fillers was demonstrated. The MPIs were synthesized by reaction of benzoin or 3-hydroxy-1,2-diphenyl-2-(propan-2-yloxy)propan-1-one as a photodissociating species with a copolymer of maleic anhydride with methyl methacrylate as carrier. Chemical structure of MPIs and the content of the tethered photoinitiating moieties were determined using (NMR)-N-1-, IR-, and UV-spectroscopies. Photolysis of MPIs was investigated in details using a spot-light curing system. It was demonstrated that MPIs are effective surface modifiers of mineral fillers, such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and nanohydroxyapatite; and behave as effective photoinitiators. The benefits of using the fillers surface-modified by MPIs in photo-curable polymer composites were discussed.
