Progressive Photocuring Approach: A Macrocyclic Photoinitiator Enabling Exceptional Toughness in Poly(TMPTA) Thick Coatings

BCB. H. Chen JDJingxi Deng YLYifan Simon Liu

Key Points

The aim is to address challenges in achieving thick coatings via an innovative photocuring method.
Developed a macrocyclic photoinitiator for improved photocuring efficacy.
Evaluated performance in poly(TMPTA) coatings exceeding 200 μm.
Assessed light attenuation effects during polymerization.
Achieved significantly tougher poly(TMPTA) coatings compared to conventional methods.
Demonstrated enhanced polymerization rates with reduced light attenuation.

Abstract

Achieving thick coatings (>200 μm) remains a significant challenge in the field of photopolymerization, primarily due to light attenuation. Despite the use of photobleaching initiators, rapid polymerization frequently results in...
