A UV-curable silicone acrylate anti-smudge coating containing tertiary amines and Ti with the ability to prevent oxygen inhibition
UV curing technology has numerous advantages such as a fast curing speed, environmental friendliness, energy conservation, and thus it is widely used in industrial production and out daily life. Free-radical polymerization is the primary mechanism for UV curing technology. However, free-radical polymerization is susceptible to oxygen inhibition, which leads to incomplete curing when this approach is employed in the air. This paper describes a new silicone acrylate prepolymer , four double bonds and a tertiary amine group at each end of the prepolymers can effectively solve the oxygen inhibition. We synthesized an alkoxymethacryloxy titanium monomer (Ti-MA). This monomer was mixed with the prepolymer and UV cured, which resulted in improved coating properties. The results showed that the double bond conversion of the prepolymer reached 90.66 ± 0.5 % at 20 s, and the residual adhesion rate also exceeded 90 %. The hardness of the coating could reach pencil hardness level 4H with the addition of Ti-MA, and the water contact angle reached 104.5 ± 0.2°, as well as excellent anti-smudge and anti-fingerprint properties. This study provides a new method to solve the oxygen inhibition problem, which has a broad application prospect in the field of coatings.
