Multifunctional photoinitiators (MFPIs): A new concept
Tóm tắt
The migration of unreacted photoinitiators and their by-products from UV-cured printing inks and coatings is an increasing concern for food packaging applications. This paper describes the synthesis of novel multifunctional photoinitiators (MFPI) for use in UV curing, with the aim of decreasing the amount of extractable components present in a UV-cured coating. The activity of these MFPIs was investigated using differential photocalorimetry (DPC) and real-time infrared spectroscopy (RTIR). These analytical techniques demonstrated that the increase in functionality and molecular weight of MFPIs did not affect the efficiency of the PI in initiating UV-curing polymerisation reactions. The extraction studies and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis demonstrated that the use of MFPI can bring about a considerable reduction in the amount of free PI extracted from the coating as the high functionality increased the likelihood of the PI being bound into the polymer coating.
