In this work, a biobased cationically photocurable omniphobic coating system was effectively developed via a facile strategy by using epoxidized soybean oil as a biomass coating precursor, tetrakis [(epoxycyclohexyl) ethyl] tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane as an effective cross-linking agent, and polydimethylsiloxane as an omniphobic agent to provide coatings with low surface energy. Due to the rational design of this coating system, no extrinsic organic solvent was added, and 20 s ultraviolet radiation was sufficient for coating curing. The as-prepared omniphobic coatings were highly optically transparent and mechanically robust, and they also possessed exceptional liquid repellency and chemical shielding durability against various contaminants and corrosive agents. Besides, these coatings exhibited remarkable self-cleaning performance and also could be appropriately used for anti-ink, antigraffiti, and antifingerprint purposes. In addition, they could be applied for fabricating functional noctilucent coatings and bestowed them with an omniphobic property. More strikingly, this coating system could be cured via sunlight exposure without compromising the omniphobic property, enabling these coatings to be availably applicable for various substrates, including the thermosensitive ones. Therefore, the features of facile preparation, short curing duration, and optional curing strategy, in addition to above versatile functions, make these biobased omniphobic coatings tremendously promising for practical applications.

UV-curing technology is a new, green technology with the advantages of being efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly; however, there is a general oxygen-inhibition problem during the UV-curing process, especially when silicone acrylates are applied to the UV-curing treatment. Herein, epoxy-based silicone prepolymers (ESP) containing Si-H bonds were prepared through the hydrosilylation reaction of poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methylhydrosiloxane) (PDMS-PHMS) and allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) to graft epoxy groups onto silicone segments while retaining part of the Si-H bond. The epoxy groups in the prepolymers are capable of cationic photopolymerization, and the retained Si-H bonds in the prepolymers can generate highly reactive silyl radicals for initiating free-radical photopolymerization. The anti-oxygen inhibition ability of silicone acrylates was enhanced with the addition of ESPs. Through experimental investigation, it was found that ESP-3 grafted with 0.30% epoxy groups had the best effect on reducing oxygen inhibition, and the silicone acrylates were able to undergo UV curing in air without sticky surfaces when the added amounts of ESP-3 were at 20 wt%. The addition of ESP-3 has no major impact on the transparency and thermal performance of the UV-cured coatings and further enhances their hydrophobic properties. The free radical/cationic hybrid UV-cured silicone materials reduce the problem of oxygen inhibition, and the UV-cured silicone materials have great potential as hydrophobic and self-cleaning materials.

The polyurethane prepolymer terminated with a double bond was synthesized using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), 1,4-butanediol (BDO), and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA). Then, a series of innovative UV-curable polyurethane coatings were prepared by blending ene-terminated polyurethane, fluoroacrylate monomer, and multifunctional thiol crosslinker upon UV exposure. The incorporation of fluoroacrylate monomer and multifunctional thiols into polyurethane coatings significantly enhanced the hydrophobic property, mechanical property, pencil hardness, and glossiness of the polyurethane coatings. This method of preparing UV crosslinkable, hydrophobic polyurethane coatings based on thiol-ene chemistry exhibited numerous advantages over other UV photocuring systems.Keywords:polyurethane;fluorine-containing;UV-crosslinkable

Strippable film is effective for removing radioactive contamination. However, it still has some limitations, such as the long curing time (about 30 min~24 h) and the requirement of organic solvents. To address these issues, we report a simple protocol to prepare strippable decontamination films using liquid polybutadiene (LPB) and tert-butyl acrylate (TBA) as the raw materials without solvent and using camphorquinone/ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate (CQ/EDB) as a photoinitiator, where the film was formed under household LED panel light or daylight irradiation for about 540 s. After a thorough study of viscosity, real-time Fourier transform infrared (RT-FTIR spectra), gel and volatile organic compound (VOC) contents, mechanical properties and decontamination efficiency, the optimum composition and curing conditions were determined for the decontamination strippable film. VOC content is as low as 12.7 ± 0.7% and the resultant strippable film exhibits good mechanical performances with a tensile strength of up to 5.4 ± 0.4 MPa and elongation of up to 66.6 ± 13%. Most important, the decontamination efficiencies of this strippable film for133CsCl on glass, ceramic and metal surfaces reach up to 98.1%, 94.3% and 97.6%, respectively.Keywords:visible light curing;strippable film;radioactive decontamination

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures are mainly fabricated by a classic dry transfer procedure, but the interface quality is often subject to the vdW gap, residual strains, and defect species. The realization of interface fusion and repair holds significant implications for the modulation of multiple photoelectric conversion processes. In this work, we propose a thermally mismatched strategy to trigger broad-band and high-speed photodetection performance based on a type-I heterostructure composed of black phosphorus (BP) and FePS3(FPS) nanoflakes. The BP acts as photothermal source to promote interface fusion when large optical power is adopted. The regulation of optical power enables the device from pyroelectric (PE) and/or alternating current photovoltaic (AC–PV) mode to a mixed photovoltaic (PV)/photothermoelectric (PTE)/PE mode. The fused heterostructure device presents an extended detection range (405~980 nm) for the FPS. The maximum responsivity and detectivity are 329.86 mA/W and 6.95 × 1010Jones, respectively, and the corresponding external quantum efficiency (EQE) approaches ~100%. Thanks to these thermally-related photoelectric conversion mechanism, the response and decay time constants of device are as fast as 290 μs and 265 μs, respectively, superior to current all FPS-based photodetectors. The robust environmental durability also renders itself as a high-speed and broad-band imaging sensor.

Efficient and large scale printing of photonic crystal patterns with multicolor, multigrayscale, and fine resolution is highly desired due to its application in smart prints, sensors, and photonic devices. Here, an electric-field-assisted multicolor printing is reported based on electrically responsive and photocurable colloidal photonic crystal, which is prepared by supersaturation-induced self-assembly of SiO 2 particles in the mixture of propylene carbonate (PC) and trimethylolpropane ethoxylate triacrylate (ETPTA). This colloidal crystal suspension, named as E-ink, has tunable structural color, controllable grayscale, and instantly fixable characteristics at the same time because the SiO 2 /ETPTA-PC photonic crystal has metastable and reversible assembly as well as polymerizable features. Lithographical printing with photomask and maskless pixel printing techniques are developed respectively to efficiently prepare multicolor and high-resolution photonic patterns using a single-component E-ink.

The photosensitive resins for 3D printing technology have been widely applied throughout the advanced communication field due to their merits of high molding accuracy and fast processing speed. Regardless, they, in particular, should have better mechanical properties, heat resistance, and dielectric properties. Herein, photocurable fluorinated poly (phthalazinone ether) (FSt-FPPE) was utilized as a prepolymer to improve the performance of photosensitive resin. A series of UV-curable inks named FST/DPGs were prepared with FSt-FPPE and acrylic diluents of different mass fractions. The FST/DPGs were cured into films by UV curing and post-treatment. After curing, their properties were characterized in detail. In terms of heat resistance, glass transition temperature (Tg) could reach 233 °C and the 5% thermal decomposition temperature (Td5%) was 371 °C. The tensile strength surprisingly reached 61.5 MPa, and the dielectric constant (Dk) could be significantly reduced to 2.75. Additionally, FST/DPGs were successfully employed in UV-assisted direct writing (DIW) to print 3D objects that benefited from their commendable fluidity and rapid curing speed. A stiff cylinder sample with a smooth surface and distinct pattern was ultimately obtained, indicating their remarkable 3D printing adaptation. Such photosensitive resin for UV-assisted DIW exhibits tremendous potential in the electronic industry.

Si 3 N 4 ceramics pose a challenge when it comes to the preparation of light-curing pastes with high depth of cure, elevated solid content, and low viscosity. This challenge is primarily attributed to their inherent characteristics, including high absorbance, a high refractive index, and suboptimal sphericity. Consequently, the application of Si 3 N 4 ceramics in 3D printing remains a complex endeavor. To address the intricacies associated with 3D printing using Si 3 N 4 ceramics, our research focuses on the utilization of Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide (TMAH) for pH adjustment in Si 3 N 4 ceramics. This adjustment aims to enhance the stability, curing depth, and viscosity of the slurry. Subsequently, we employ this Si 3 N 4 light-curing slurry for 3D printing, followed by sintering the printed materials. The evaluation includes testing for porosity, density, and flexural strength of the samples. Notably, our efforts yield porous silicon nitride ceramics boasting an impressive density of 1.8299 g/cm 3 , porosity measuring 43.718%, and remarkable flexural strength amounting to 275 MPa.

The utilization of soybean oil-based UV coatings depends on the introduction of petroleum-based comonomers or crosslink agents. Thus, in this paper, a bio-based crosslink agent (GACA) for UV curable coatings was synthesized from gallic acid and its chemical structure was confirmed by FT IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. Crosslinked networks with high biobased content of more than 88% were obtained after co-photopolymerization between acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) and GACA. The thermal, mechanical and coating properties of these GACA crosslinked AESO networks were investigated and a commonly used crosslink agent triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) was used as the control. GACA exhibited more functional groups and better copolymerization with AESO than TAIC, resulting in the higher gel content, crosslink density, tensile strength and modulus as well as much better coating properties (reflected by the higher pencil hardness, better wear resistance and adhesion) of GACA crosslinked AESO networks than TAIC crosslinked AESO networks. These results indicated that GACA exhibited great potential to replace petroleum-based crosslink agents such as TAIC, and high-performance soybean oil-based UV-cured coatings with high biobased content could be achieved after introducing GACA.

Lightweight and strong silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics with complex lattice structures were fabricated by vat photopolymerization 3D printing technology followed by a one-step pyrolysis process . The UV-light penetration depth of the SiC ceramic slurries was increased more than three times based on the formation of SiC@SiO 2 core@shell structured particles through pre-oxidation processing. To reduce the sintering temperature and shrinkage of SiC ceramics, 40 vol% solid loading SiC@SiO 2 ceramic slurries mixed with photocurable resins containing 0–70 wt% of polysiloxane were prepared. SiC@SiO 2 /SiOC ceramic with less than 8% linear shrinkage rate was obtained after pyrolysis at 1000–1200 ℃. The pyrolyzed SiC@SiO 2 /SiOC lattice ceramics exhibited a specific strength of 4.6 × 10 4 N m/kg with a cellular density of 0.87 g/cm 3 , surpassing various other lattice structures and porous ceramics with similar porosity. The complex structure forming ability, mechanical performance and its short developing cycle make this technology to be a promising method for structural integrated SiC ceramic manufacturing.

The instability of UV anti-corrosion coatings poses a significant threat to both air quality and the environment, highlighting the urgent need for efficient and eco-friendly anti-corrosion coatings. In this study, we synthesized a novel material, MXene, known for its well-defined layered structure and exceptional conductivity, by employing a MAX phase etching process. Our investigation encompassed the assessment of MXene’s compatibility within UV coating systems, as well as its dispersion and stability within composite coating systems. We observed that MXene’s substantial specific surface area and robust chemical adsorption capabilities played pivotal roles in the adsorption and stabilization of nanoparticles within the UV coating. Further exploration of MXene-based UV-curable anti-corrosion coatings revealed remarkable resistance to hydrogen-induced corrosion due to MXene’s outstanding electrical conductivity and its ability to regulate surface chemical reactions. This optimization not only enhances UV-curing and photostability performance in UV anti-corrosion coatings but also makes them highly suitable for producing efficient anti-corrosion coatings. This approach demonstrates broad applicability across various substrates where superior corrosion resistance is essential.
