- NIR-induced photopolymerization As noted above, there has been increasing interest in recent years in the development of new photoinitiator systems that efficiently trigger photopolymerization under mild light irradiation, for example in the red to near-infrared region. Thus far, only a few studies have reported near-infrared-induced (“NIR-induced”) photopolymerization. However, only a few studies have been reported so far. [1, 2, 3] For example, the curing of NIR photo-initiating system using a cyanine-based dye has been reported.[3] However, the use of NIR photo-initiating systems (e.g. cyanine) is typically associated with a low reactivity (low conversion and/or reaction rate(s)) and requiring high light intensity. For that reason, such NIR-photoinitiator systems are typically not suitable for most practical/industrial applications, notably for those applications where mild intensity irradiation is required.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a National Stage application of PCT/EP2018/086410, filed Dec. 20, 2018, which claims the benefit of European Application Nos. 18182205.7, filed Jul. 6, 2018 and 17306861.0, filed Dec. 21, 2017, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.
- The present invention relates to a new photo-initiating composition for red and near infrared-induced photopolymerization, method of using same in photopolymerization reactions and polymers obtained by such method.
- In what follows, the numbers between brackets ([ ]) refer to the List of References provided at the end of the document.
- Photopolymerization presents many advantages over conventional thermal polymerization, namely (i) a better spatial and temporal control of the polymerization reaction; (ii) a polymerization that can be carried out in the absence of solvent and (iii) under milder conditions (irradiation instead of heating); thereby being advantageous in terms of economic and energetic costs. For these reasons, light induced free radical polymerization reactions using a photoinitiator (PI) or a photo-initiating system (PIS) have been largely studied in the past few years. In addition, they find applications in many industrial fields such as coatings, paints, dentistry, medicine and 3D printing.
- So far, most of the compositions used in photopolymerization require high or low intensity UV lamps. Currently, UV-curing is mostly used for the photopolymerization of methacrylate monomers. Because UV wavelengths are known to cause skin and eye damage, a great challenge is to develop new free radical initiating systems that are workable under longer (safer) wavelength irradiation. Additional drawbacks of UV-induced or visible light-induced photopolymerization include limitations in the thickness of sample to be polymerized (polymerization of thin layers only), use of a high quantity if photoinitiator system, and/or necessity to conduct the photopolymerization under inert conditions (CO2, N2, . . .).
- Therefore, there remains a need for the development of new photoinitiator systems that efficiently trigger photopolymerization under mild light irradiation, and that allow polymerization to be carried out in depth through thick samples/materials.

For example the near infrared irradiation intensity may range from 50 mW/cm2 to 10 W/cm2, advantageously from 100 mW/cm2 to 7 W/cm2, more advantageously from 200 mW/cm2 to 5 W/cm2, still more advantageously from 300 mW/cm2 to 3 W/cm2.
- As used herein and in the claims, “about” refers to any inherent measurement error or a rounding of digits for a value (e.g., a measured value, calculated value such as a ratio), and thus the term “about” may be used with any value and/or range. As used herein, the term “about” can refer to a variation of ±5%, ±10%,±20%, or ±25%, of the value specified. For example, “about 50” percent can in some embodiments carry a variation from 45 to 55 percent. For integer ranges, the term “about” can include one or two integers greater than and/or less than a recited integer. Unless indicated otherwise herein, the term “about” is intended to include values, e.g., weight percents, proximate to the recited range that are equivalent in terms of the functionality of the individual ingredient, the composition, or the embodiment.
- As used herein, the term “and/or” means any one of the items, any combination of the items, or all of the items with which this term is associated.
- As will be understood by the skilled artisan, all numbers, including those expressing quantities of ingredients, properties such as molecular weight, reaction conditions, and so forth, are approximations and are understood as being optionally modified in all instances by the term “about.” These values can vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by those skilled in the art utilizing the teachings of the descriptions herein. It is also understood that such values inherently contain variability necessarily resulting from the standard deviations found in their respective testing measurements.
- As will be understood by one skilled in the art, for any and all purposes, particularly in terms of providing a written description, all ranges recited herein also encompass any and all possible subranges and combinations of subranges thereof, as well as the individual values making up the range, particularly integer values. A recited range (e.g., weight percents or carbon groups) includes each specific value, integer, decimal, or identity within the range. Any listed range can be easily recognized as sufficiently describing and enabling the same range being broken down into at least equal halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, or tenths. As a non-limiting example, each range discussed herein can be readily broken down into a lower third, middle third and upper third, etc.
- As will also be understood by one skilled in the art, all language such as “up to,” “at least,” “greater than,” “less than,” “more than,” “or more,” and the like, include the number recited and such terms refer to ranges that can be subsequently broken down into subranges as discussed above. In the same manner, all ratios recited herein also include all subratios falling within the broader ratio. Accordingly, specific values recited for radicals, substituents, and ranges, are for illustration only; they do not exclude other defined values or other values within defined ranges for radicals and substituents.
- One skilled in the art will also readily recognize that where members are grouped together in a common manner, such as in a Markush group, the invention encompasses not only the entire group listed as a whole, but each member of the group individually and all possible subgroups of the main group. Additionally, for all purposes, the invention encompasses not only the main group, but also the main group absent one or more of the group members. The invention therefore envisages the explicit exclusion of any one or more of members of a recited group. Accordingly, provisos may apply to any of the disclosed categories or embodiments whereby any one or more of the recited elements, species, or embodiments, may be excluded from such categories or embodiments, for example, as used in an explicit negative limitation.
- As noted above, there has been increasing interest in recent years in the development of new photoinitiator systems that efficiently trigger photopolymerization under mild light irradiation, for example in the red to near-infrared region. Thus far, only a few studies have reported near-infrared-induced (“NIR-induced”) photopolymerization. However, only a few studies have been reported so far. [1, 2, 3] For example, the curing of NIR photo-initiating system using a cyanine-based dye has been reported.[3] However, the use of NIR photo-initiating systems (e.g. cyanine) is typically associated with a low reactivity (low conversion and/or reaction rate(s)) and requiring high light intensity. For that reason, such NIR-photoinitiator systems are typically not suitable for most practical/industrial applications, notably for those applications where mild intensity irradiation is required.
- The inventors have discovered that a properly selected three-component photoinitiator system can overcome the aforementioned drawbacks in the field.
- In this context, there is provided herein a photo-initiating composition comprising:
-
- (a) an absorbing dye that is an electron donor when exposed to a 625-2500 nm light source;
- (b) an oxidizing agent suitable for a polymerization reaction and capable of generating free radicals and/or cation ions by electron transfer from the dye when exposed to a 625-2500 nm light source;
- (c) a reducing agent suitable for regenerating the dye; and
- (d) optionally, an oxygen scavenger.
- Briefly, the present invention relates to the association of three components as a photoinitiator system for the red to near infrared (NIR) photopolymerization, preferably NIR-induced photopolymerization. The three-component association is based on: 1) an absorbing dye used as a photosensitizer in the red to NIR range, preferably the NIR range, 2) an oxidizing agent capable of generating free radicals and/or cation ions by electron transfer from the absorbing dye when exposed to a 625-2500 nm light source and 3) a reducing agent suitable for regenerating the absorbing dye.
- Advantageously, the photoinitiator system may additionally comprise an oxygen scavenger suitable for reducing and/or preventing oxygen inhibition during the free radical polymerization.
- Advantageously, the absorbing dye may be any suitable dye that is an electron donor when exposed to a 625-2500 nm light source (i.e., when exposed to irradiation in the red to near-infrared), for example when exposed to a 625-1500 nm light irradiation.
- Advantageously, the absorbing dye may comprise a cyclic or acyclic conjugated system containing 2 or 4 heteroatoms selected from N or S the lone pair of which may participate in the conjugated system; wherein the absorbing dye is an electron donor when exposed to a 625-2500 nm light source, for example when exposed to a 625-1500 nm light irradiation.
- Advantageously, the absorbing dye may comprise:
-
- an opened conjugated system containing two N or S atoms, preferably two N atoms, the lone pairs of which may participate in the conjugated system;
- a conjugated macrocyclic system containing four N or S atoms, preferably four N atoms, complexed to a single metal atom; preferably a metal atom that absorbs in the red to near-infrared region of 625-2500 nm, for example a metal atom that absorbs in the range 625-1500 nm;
- a metal complex comprising two bidentate conjugated ligands; each bidentate ligand containing two N or S atoms, preferably two S atoms, complexed to a single metal atom; preferably a metal atom that absorbs in the red to near-infrared region of 625-2500 nm, for example a metal atom that absorbs in the range 625-1500 nm.
- Advantageously, the absorbing dye may be selected from cyanine, phthalocyanine, dithiolene or porphyrin dyes.
- As used herein, the term “cyanine dye” does not deviate from the conventional meaning of the term in the art, and refers to a dye having an opened conjugated system where a moiety
- and a moiety
- are covalently linked via a conjugated system of two or more double bonds, some of which may belong to an aromatic radical. The expression “opened conjugated system” refers to the fact that the moieties
- do not form a cycle together with the conjugated double bonds (i.e;, the whole does not piggy-back together to form a cycle). However, the whole system may comprise one or more mono- or polycyclic alicyclic, heterocyclic, aromatic or heteroaromatic radicals.
- Examples of such cyanine dyes include:
- wherein X− represents a suitable counterion. For example, X− may represent Cl−, I−, ClO4 −, p-toluenesulfonate, p-dodecylbenzenesulfonate, or a borate anion, such as triphenylbutylborate.
- Advantageously, the counterion X− may represent a borate anion. For example X− may represent triphenylbutylborate.
- For example, any one or more of the following cyanine dyes may be used as absorbing dye:
- As used herein, the term “phthalocyanine dye” does not deviate from the conventional meaning of the term in the art, and refers to conjugated macrocycles which, depending on how they were synthesized, contain different metal or metalloid inclusions. Advantageously, a phthalocyanine dye useable in the context of the present invention may have a cyclic conjugated system having the structure:
- wherein M represents a metal center, for example Mn, and L1 and L2 independently represent acyloyl ligands or may be absent, depending on the metal atom valency.
- Examples of such phthalocyanine dyes include:
- Most phthalocyanines (Pcs) have a high molar absorptivity coefficient and absorb light in the red and near infra-red (NIR) region (≈650-700 nm [4, 6]).
- Incidentally, NIR dyes and more specifically, borate dyes, have also been used for information recording such as xerography, a dry photoprinting technique.
- When the cyanine borate dye is photoirradiated, electron transfer between the dye and the counter ion allows a recombination of dye radical to give a colorless dye. This process facilitates the bleaching, and ultimately, the recycling of the paper several times. This bleaching property can also be very interesting for photopolymerization. Going from green to colorless while polymerizing, light can penetrate deeper in the sample and so thicker samples can be polymerized.
- As used herein, the term “dithiolene dye” does not deviate from the conventional meaning of the term in the art, and refers to metal complexes including unsaturated bidentate ligands containing two sulfur donor atoms. They may be also referred to as “metallodithiolene dyes”. Advantageously, a dithiolene dye useable in the context of the present invention may have the structure:
- wherein M represents a metal center that absorbs in the red to near-infrared region of 625-2500 nm, for example a metal atom that absorbs in the range 625-1500 nm, such as Ni; and Ar1, Ar2, Ar3, and Ar4 independently represent a C6-10 aryl; wherein each aryl moiety may be, individually, further substituted with one or more substituents, such as —OH, —OR, halogen atom, —NO2, —CN, —NRA 1RA 2, —NHC(═O)RA 3, —OC(═O)RA 3, vinyl, or linear or branched C1-10alkyl or C6-10 aryl moieties; wherein R and RA 3 independently represent a linear or branched C1-10 alkyl or C6-10 aryl moiety; and RA 1 and RA 2 independently represent H or linear or branched C1-6 alkyl or C6-10 aryl moieties, where RA 1 and RA 2, taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, may form a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic moiety; wherein each of the foregoing aryl moieties may be, individually, further substituted with one or more linear or branched C1-6 alkyl or C6-10 aryl moieties. Advantageously, Ar1, Ar2, Ar3, and Ar4 may independently represent a phenyl moiety; wherein each phenyl moiety may be, individually, further substituted with one or more substituents, such as those as described immediately above, preferably linear or branched C1-6alkyl moieties, including methyl, propyl, butyl, i-propyl.
- Examples of such dithiolene dyes include:

In the initial stages of the photo-initiating process, the dye (electron donor when exposed to a 625-2500 nm light source, for example when exposed to a 625-1500 nm light irradiation) absorbs in the red-NIR range to release an electron and form a radical dye⋅+.

- Advantageously, an oxygen scavenger may be used in the photo-initiating composition according to the invention to facilitate polymerization in cases where unwanted peroxide radicals are formed during the polymerization process (for example when the polymerization is carried in the presence of oxygen gas (e.g., under air or ambient atmosphere). Advantageously, when an oxygen scavenger is used it should be compatible with the photopolymerization reaction that is intended (free radical, cationic or dual free radical/cationic): it preferably does not interfere with active species that promote the type of polymerization reaction that is being carried out. For example, the oxygen scavenger preferably does not interfere with free radical formation and/or cation formation.
- For example, when polymerization is performed under air, certain monomers (such as methacrylates) may be sensitive to the oxygen present in the air. In such cases, peroxyl radicals may be generated in the course of polymerization that are too stable to allow polymerization to proceed (in other words, polymerization is inhibited). The oxygen scavenger helps to overcome oxygen inhibition by reacting with the peroxyl radicals to yield less stable radicals, which in turn can allow for the polymerization to proceed/continue. Any commonly used oxygen scavenger for facilitating polymerization may be further used as part of the photo-initiating composition of the invention. Examples of such oxygen scavengers include potassium sulfite, unsaturated hydrocarbons, and ascorbic acid derivatives.
- Advantageously, the reducing agent (c) and the oxygen scavenger (d) may be a single compound (in other words, the same compound may serve as reducing agent (c) and oxygen scavenger (d)). For example, any one of the phosphine reducing agents described in section c) above may also function as oxygen scavenger. As such, advantageously, the oxygen scavenger (d) may be a phosphine-based compound from the class P(RB1)3, wherein each occurrence of RB1 independently represents a C6-10 aryl; wherein any of the foregoing aryl moieties may be independently further substituted with one or more —C(═O)OH, —C(═O)ORB2, or a linear or branched C1-6 alkyl or C6-10 aryl moieties; wherein RB2 independently represents a C6-10 aryl or a C1-10 alkyl moiety. Advantageously, the oxygen scavenger (d) may be from the class (Ph)2PRB1, wherein RB1 independently represents a C6-10 aryl moiety optionally further substituted with one or more —C(═O)OH, —C(═O)ORB2, or a linear or branched C1-6 alkyl or C6-10 aryl moieties; wherein RB2 independently represents a C6-10 aryl or a C1-10 alkyl moiety.

For example, the oxygen scavenger (d) may be 4-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid (4-dppba).
- The light source may be any light source known in the art, capable of generating light in the 625-2500 nm region, for example in the range of 625-1500 nm. For example, light emitted from LED bulbs, laser, laser diode, low pressure mercury and argon lamps, fluorescent light systems, electric arc-light sources, high intensity light sources may be used. Advantageously, the light source may generate light in the red region of the light spectrum (i.e., 625-750 nm). For example, light sources that may be used to that effect include LED bulb, laser, laser diode, fluorescent light system, electric arc light source, high intensity (metal halide 3000K, high pressure sodium lamp), Xenon light, Mercury-Xenon light. Advantageously, the light source may generate light in the near-infrared region of the light spectrum (i.e., 700-2500 nm, for example 700-1500 nm). For example, light sources that may be used to that effect include NIR LEDs, NIR lasers, low pressure mercury and argon lamps (696-1704 nm) Tungsten light source, tungsten halogen light source, Nd:Yag laser, Nd:YVO4, Nd:CidVO4, Nd:LuVO4, CO2 laser. An important advantage of the invention is that photopolymerization can be effected under long wavelength irradiation conditions (i.e., less energetic and safer than UV-type irradiation for example).
- Advantageously, the light source is preferably selected as a function of the absorbing dye to be used: most advantageously, the light source may be one that emits light in the wavelength range where the dye most readily absorbs the light to form a dye⋅+ radical, which initiates the polymerization process. The absorbance profiles of dyes known to absorb in the red or near infrared range of the light spectrum are known or can be readily determined by running an absorbance vs. wavelength graph. As will be readily apparent throughout the teachings of the present document, if a particular dye exhibits low/moderate absorbance at a given wavelength, one may still proceed with that particular dye at the same given wavelength by increasing the intensity of the light irradiation. This may be done by using a tunable power light source for example, such as commercially available tunable power red to near-infrared light sources.

RED or NIR Dye Absorbance range IR 140600-900 nm IR 780 >670 nm Indocyanine Green 600-900 nm IR 813 >670 nm S 2265 600-850 nm S 0991 >650 nm Mn—Ph 600-800 nm Dithiolene Nickel 1 >750 nm Chlorophyllin copper 550-700 nm sodium salt - For illustration purposes, if
IR 140 is used as absorbing dye, a NIR laser@785 nm may be used. - As discussed above, it is understood that the light source may be a tunable power light source; that is one that is equipped with tunable power, so as be able to adjust the power of the red to near infrared light irradiation, if needed. Such tunable power light source may also be used to determine the light intensity threshold at which a particular dye starts to absorb at any given wavelength, and therefore to fine-tune the wavelength/irradiation intensity that may be used to obtain optimal conditions for polymerization.
- Advantageously, the photo-initiating composition according to the invention may be used for polymerization reactions that involve at least one polymerizable component selected from:
-
- (i) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, the polymerization of which may be effected by free radical polymerization; and/or
- (ii) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or an epoxy-containing monomer or an oxetane monomer or a vinyl ether containing monomer or lactide monomer or lactone monomer or caprolactone monomer; the polymerization of which may be effected by cationic polymerization.
- Advantageously, at least one polymerizable component may be an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, the polymerization of which may be effected by free radical polymerization. As used herein, the term “ethylenically unsaturated monomer” refers to a monomer that contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Preferably, ethylenically unsaturated monomers whose polymerization may be effected by free radical polymerization, contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond that is conjugated with an aryl moiety (e.g., phenyl), a carboxyl (C═O) group, or another double bond.

- Advantageously, at least one polymerizable component may be an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or an epoxy-containing monomer or an oxetane monomer or a vinyl ether containing monomer or lactide monomer or lactone monomer or caprolactone monomer; the polymerization of which may be effected by cationic polymerization. Examples of these monomers include vinyl ethers —[ROCHCH2]—such as vinyl methyl ether, vinyl ethyl ether, vinyl isobutyl ether; and epoxy monomers. As used herein, the term “epoxy-containing monomer” refers to a monomer bearing a moiety comprising an oxirane ring having the structure:
- for example
- wherein “*” denotes the point(s) of attachment of the oxirane moiety to the rest of the monomer; and R1 and R2 independently represent H or a linear or branched C1-10 alkyl or C6-10 aryl moiety; wherein each of the foregoing aryl moieties may be, individually, further substituted with one or more linear or branched C1-6 alkyl or C6-10 aryl moieties.

For example, at least one polymerizable component may be one of the following oxetane-containing monomers:
- Vinyl ether-containing monomers useable in the context of the present invention may be any known Vinyl ether-containing monomers, including commercially available vinyl ether monomers such as: Bis[4-(vinyloxy)butyl] 1,6-hexanediylbiscarbamate, Bis[4-(vinyloxy)butyl] isophthalate, Bis[4-(vinyloxy)butyl] (methylenedi-4,1-phenylene)biscarbamate, Bis[4-(vinyloxy)butyl] succinate, Bis[4-(vinyloxy)butyl]terephthalate, Bis[4-(vinyloxymethyl)cyclohexylmethyl] glutarate, 1,4-Butanediol divinyl ether , 1,4-Butanediol vinyl ether, Butyl vinyl ether, tert-Butyl vinyl ether, 2-Chloroethyl vinyl ether, cis-1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol divinyl ether, trans-1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol divinyl ether, Cyclohexyl vinyl ether, Di(ethylene glycol) divinyl ether, Di(ethylene glycol) vinyl ether, Diethyl vinyl orthoformate, Dodecyl vinyl ether, Ethylene glycol vinyl ether, 2-Ethylhexyl vinyl ether, 2-Ethylhexyl vinyl ether, Ethyl- 1-propenyl ether (cis, trans, or mixture thereof), Ethyl vinyl ether, Isobutyl vinyl ether, Phenyl vinyl ether, Propyl vinyl ether Tris[4-(vinyloxy)butyl] trimellitate.
- It is to be understood that the photo-initiating composition of the invention may be used for effecting free radical polymerization and/or cationic polymerization of at least one polymerizable component selected from:
-
- (i) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, the polymerization of which may be effected by free radical polymerization; and/or
- (ii) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or an epoxy-containing monomer or an oxetane-containing monomer or a vinyl ether-containing monomer or lactide monomer or lactone monomer or caprolactone monomer; the polymerization of which may be effected by cationic polymerization;
or a mixture of two or more of the above.
- As such, the polymerizable component may be a mixture of two or more of ethylenically unsaturated monomers (i), as defined and described generally and in variants herein. For example, the polymerizable component may be a mixture of:
- The polymerizable component may be a mixture of two or more monomers (ii), as defined and described generally and in variants herein. For example, a mixture of a vinyl ether monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer polymerizable by cationic polymerization may be used.
- The polymerizable component may also be a mixture of at least one monomer (i) and at least one monomer (ii), as defined and described generally and in variants herein. In other words, the polymerizable component may be a mixture of two or more components which are polymerizable via different polymerization mechanisms: free radical polymerization or cationic polymerization, respectively. For example, the polymerizable component may be a mixture of HPMA and EPDX. Other examples include mixtures vinylether/acrylate and vinylether/epoxy.
- One important advantage of the three-component photoinitiator compositions described herein is at least two fold:
-
- (i) they generate free radicals under very mild irradiation conditions (i.e., under an irradiation intensity of a few W/cm2 or even in the mW/cm2 range, in the near infrared region e.g., λ=625-2500 nm, for example under near infrared light range λ=700-2500 nm, in particular in the near infrared light range λ=700-1500 nm), and
- (ii) they can initiate free radical promoted cationic photopolymerization, when an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or an epoxy-containing monomer or an oxetane-containing monomer or a vinyl ether-containing monomer or lactide monomer or lactone monomer or caprolactone monomer; the polymerization of which may be effected by cationic polymerization, is present.
- Accordingly, the use of the three-component photoinitiator compositions of the invention under mild light irradiation conditions allows concomitant free radical and cationic polymerizations to take place when a mixture of monomers with these distinct polymerization mechanisms is used. This allows the preparation of interpenetrated networks of polymers that have different polymerization mechanisms (free radical and cationic), with a single photoinitiator. This is a striking advantage, as compared to existing methods, which require the use of two different polymerization initiators: a photoinitiator for the free radical polymerization, and a cationic initiator for the cationic polymerization. Necessarily, the use of two different initiators, means different initiating times, and thus polymerizations that may go at different speed and/or with different efficiencies, thereby leading to interpenetrated polymer networks far less homogeneous than those obtainable by the photopolymerization method of the invention.

all wt % being expressed based on the total weight of the composition to be polymerized; i.e. total weight of polymerizable component f)+total weight of components a), b) and c) recited above.

- Mixtures of at least two of these additives are also suitable in the context of the invention.
- As used herein, the term “tackifier” refers to polymers which increase the tack properties, that is to say, the intrinsic viscosity or self-adhesion, the compositions so that, after a slight pressure a short period, they adhere firmly to surfaces.
- In another aspect, the invention provides articles obtainable by a polymerization process according to any one variant of the inventive method, as defined and described generally and in variants herein.
- The present invention offers many advantages, including:
-
- Red to Near-infrared wavelengths induce a deeper penetration in the material to be polymerized. As shown in
FIG. 1 , the greater the wavelength: the less the light is diffused by the charges in the material. Thus, the curing of filled materials with NIR source is enhanced compared to curing with UV or visible light; This allows polymerization of much thicker samples/polymeric materials than conventional UV-induced or visible light-induced photopolymerization; - The process is safer than widely used UV-curing processes;
- Red-based and NIR-based photoinitiator systems according to the invention are more efficient (higher conversion rate and/or photopolymerization rate);
- Cost efficiency (the process can be carried out at room temperature and under milder light irradiation than conventional UV-based of visible light-induced photoinitiator systems;
- Environmentally friendly (no solvent necessary);
- Possibility of applications in the medical field, notably due to the use of Red to near-infrared wavelengths (much safer than UV wavelengths). Existing laser sources in the dermatologic field may be used for that purpose.
- Red to Near-infrared wavelengths induce a deeper penetration in the material to be polymerized. As shown in
- Other advantages may also emerge to those skilled in the art upon reading the examples below, with reference to the attached figures, which are provided as nonlimiting illustrations.
- The representative examples that follow are intended to help illustrate the invention, and are not intended to, nor should they be construed to, limit the scope of the invention. Indeed, various modifications of the invention and many further embodiments thereof, in addition to those shown and described herein, will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the full contents of this document, including the examples which follow and the references to the scientific and patent literature cited herein. It should further be appreciated that the contents of those cited references are incorporated herein by reference to help illustrate the state of the art.
- The following examples contain important additional information, exemplification and guidance that can be adapted to the practice of this invention in its various embodiments and the equivalents thereof.
- The polymer materials and compositions of this invention and their preparation can be understood further by the examples that illustrate some of the processes by which these polymer materials and compositions are prepared or used. It will be appreciated, however, that these examples do not limit the invention. Variations of the invention, now known or further developed, are considered to fall within the scope of the present invention as described herein and as hereinafter claimed.
- In the Examples that follow is illustrated the use of a three-component photo-initiating composition according to the invention for the NIR photopolymerization of methacrylates. Specifically, the exemplary photo-initiating composition comprises 1) a dye used as a photosensitizer that absorbs in the NIR range, 2) a iodonium salt as oxidizing agent and 3) a phosphine compound as reducing agent and concomitant oxygen scavenger to prevent against the polymerization inhibition due to the presence of oxygen.
- Phosphine have been shown to reduce oxygen inhibition, however, they have only been reported in such capacity for polymerization with visible light and not with NIR sources. This is therefore to our knowledge the first report of the use of phosphine compounds in NIR-induced photopolymerization and photoinitiator systems.
- Incidentally, near infrared (NIR) photo-initiating systems for the photopolymerization of methacrylates monomers is still relatively rare in the literature. Photopolymerization under NIR light is challenging due to the low energy, but if successful, presents several advantages. For example, this lower energy wavelength can be safer than UV-light that is currently the dominant light source represented in the literature for photocuring. Secondly, NIR allows a deeper penetration of the light and therefore a more complete curing, especially for polymerization in presence of fillers.
- Several NIR absorbing dyes are presented and studied in the Examples that follow, such as borates and phthalocyanines. Notably, system using borate dyes resulted in methacrylate monomer conversion over 80% under air.
- Three types of irradiation system are presented: low power LED @660 nm and @780 nm and a high power laser @785 nm.
- All reagents and solvents for the synthesis of IR-140 borate (Scheme 1) were purchased from Aldrich or Alfa Aesar and used as received without further purification. 5,5′-Dichloro-11-(diphenylamino)-3,3′-diethyl-10,12-ethylene- thiatricarbocyanine perchlorate (IR140) was purchased from Aldrich. Mass spectroscopy was performed by the Spectropole of Aix-Marseille University. ESI mass spectral analyses were recorded with a 3200 QTRAP (Applied Biosystems SCIEX) mass spectrometer. The HRMS mass spectral analysis was performed with a QStar Elite (Applied Biosystems SCIEX) mass spectrometer. Elemental analyses were recorded with a Thermo Finnigan EA 1112 elemental analysis apparatus driven by the
Eager 300 software. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were determined at room temperature in 5 mm o.d. tubes on aBruker Avance 400 spectrometer of the Spectropole: 1H (400 MHz) and 13C (100 MHz). The 1H chemical shifts were referenced to the solvent peak CDCl3 (7.26 ppm), DMSO (2.49 ppm) and the 13C chemical shifts were referenced to the solvent peak CDCl3 (77 ppm), DMSO (49.5 ppm). Lithium triphenylbutylborate was synthesized as previously reported in the literature, without modifications and obtained in similar yields [12]. The soft salt was synthesized as previously reported in the literature, by using a biphasic mixture of CHCl3/water and THF to act as a phase transfer agent. The soft salt (the organic salt) was recovered in the organic phase, the inorganic one in the aqueous phase [13]. - Lithium triphenylbutylborate (236 mg, 0.770 mmol, 1.2 eq.) in water (20 mL) was added to a solution of 5,5′-dichloro-11-(diphenylamino)-3,3′-diethyl-10,12-ethylene-thiatricarbocyanine perchlorate (500 g, 0.642 mmol, 1 eq.) in a mixture of CHCl3 (100 mL) and THF (20 mL). The solution was stirred at room temperature while being protected from light for 1 hour and then set aside for 10 minutes. THF was removed under reduced pressure (still while protecting the solution from light) and the solution was transferred in a separating funnel (covered with aluminum foil). The organic phase was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. Addition of THF (2 mL) followed by pentane precipitated a solid that was filtered off, washed several times with pentane and dried under vacuum. HRMS (ESI MS) m/z: theor: 679.7428 found: 679.7426 (M+ detected); HRMS (ESI MS) m/z: theor: 299.2375 found: 299.2377 (M- detected); Anal. Calc. for C61H58BC12N3S2: C, 74.8; H, 6.0; N, 4.3 Found: C, 74.6, H, 6.1; N, 4.4%.).
- All reagents and solvents for the synthesis of IR-780 borate (Scheme 1) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used as received without any further purification. Lithium triphenylbutylborate was synthesized as previously reported in the literature, without modifications and obtained in similar yields [12]. Lithium triphenylbutylborate (45.9 mg, 0.15 mmol, 1.2 eq.) in water (20 mL) was added to a solution of 2-[2-[2-Chloro-3-[(1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-1-propyl-2H-indol-2- ylidene)ethylidene]-1-cyclohexen-1-yl]ethenyl]-3,3-dimethyl-1-propylindolium iodide (100 mg, 0.18 mmol, 1 eq.) in a mixture of CHCl3 (100 mL) and THF (20 mL). 2-[2-[2-Chloro-3-[(1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-1-propyl-2H-indol-2-ylidene)ethylidene]-1-cyclohexen-1-yl]ethenyl]-3,3-dimethyl-1-propylindolium iodide is abbreviated “IR-780 iodide” in the present paper. The solution was stirred at room temperature during 1 hour in a round-bottom flask covered with aluminum foil. The organic phase was then removed under pressure. CHCl3 (10mL) was added in the round-bottom flask. The solution was transferred in a separating funnel (covered with aluminum foil) to separate the organic phase which were then dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent left were removed under reduced pressure.
- IR-780 iodide, IR-140, Manganese(II) Phthalocyanine, Dithiolene Nickel, IR-813 p-toluenesulfonate,
IR 783, and chlorophyllin copper sodium salt were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Indocyanine Green was purchased from TCI Chemicals. No further purification was made. - A mixture (also referred to herein as “Mix-MA”) of 33 wt % of (hydroxypropyl)methacrylate (HPMA), 33 wt % of 1,4-butanediol dimethacrylate (1,4-BDDMA) and 33 wt % of a methacrylate functionalized prepolymer was used as polymerizable component. Mix-MA was obtained from Hilti GmbH.
- Bis-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-Iodonium hexafluorophosphate (Ar2I+/PF6 − or also Speedcure 938), obtained from Lambson, was used as oxidizing agent.
- 4-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid (4-dppba), purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, was used as reducing agent and concomitant oxygen scavenger. No further purification was made.
- Silica beads obtained from Dentsply GmbH were used as fillers.
- Several types of irradiation sources were used throughout the Examples that follow: NIR LED@660 nm (with a power of 80 mW/cm2), NIR LED@780 nm (with a power of 130 mW/cm2) and a NIR laser@785 nm with tunable power (from OW to 2.55 W/cm2) from ThorLabs.
- The photosensitive formulations (mixture of polymerizable component(s) and photo-initiating composition according to the present invention) were deposited on a polypropylene film (thickness=1.4 mm) and polymerized under air by irradiation with LED or laser. The conversion was followed by real time Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy using a JASCO 4600. The double bond C═C content of Mix-MA was measured at 6100-6220 cm−1 (
FIG. 2 ). Specific reaction conditions for each photopolymerization experiments are given in the figures caption. For all experiments, recording of the FTIR spectra was initialized a minimum of 10 seconds prior to the irradiation, to obtain a baseline for comparison. - IR-140 borate has been used in this example to initiate the free radical polymerization upon irradiation at 785 nm (400 mW/cm2) using a laser. The photo-initiating composition used in this Example was based on a three-component formulation containing IR-140 borate (as a dye)/Ar2I+/PF6 −/4-dppba. It was shown to exhibit a high polymerization rate under exposure to laser (
FIG. 3 ). The final monomer conversion was roughly 50-60% and the final polymer was tack-free at the surface. When omitting one of the two additives (Ar2I+/PF6 − or 4-dppba) or when irradiating the monomer alone, no photopolymerization took place. The polymerization efficiency as compared to the different control formulations is outlined in Table 1. When increasing the light source energy from LED at 400 mW/cm2 (experiment 3, inFIG. 3 ) to laser at 2.55 W/cm2 (experiment 5, inFIG. 3 ) we observe that the conversion was twice as fast. -

The effect of the laser power on the polymerization rate has been characterized for a photo-initiating composition comprising IR-140 borate, 4-dppba and Ar2I+/PF6 − (
FIG. 4 ). By increasing the power of the laser, the polymerization rate and final conversion both increased. Regardless of the laser power that was used, the final polymers obtained were tack-free. The incubation time at the beginning of the polymerization was also reduced by increasing the power of the laser. - It is important to note that at max power, 2.55 W/cm2, the polymerization starts almost as soon as the laser is turned on and the final monomer conversion is greater than 80%. The data in Table 2 supports that polymerization is not possible unless a photo-initiating composition according to the invention is used (cf. last entry in Table 2).
-

In general, when added to a formulation to be polymerized, the fillers decrease the penetration of the light rendering it more difficult for the photopolymerization process to take place. Using, the three-component photo-initiating composition according to the invention, the photopolymerization has been followed by RT-FTIR (
FIG. 5 ). Weight percentage of fillers ranging from 25 wt % to 75 wt % resulted in tack-free polymers and final monomer conversion between 60% and 80%. The polymerization was not significantly slower with the addition of fillers. The photopolymerization of thicker sample with 75 wt % fillers was also possible (FIG. 5 (C)). A sample of 1 cm high was successfully polymerized in under 30 seconds and a tack-free surface has been obtained. - The photo-initiating composition “dye/Ar2I+/4-dppba” according to the invention has also been characterized with a variety of other dyes absorbing in the Red-NIR range. Commercially available dyes were compared to borate dyes and novel silicon Pc based dyes. Three different irradiation configurations were used: Laser@785 nm at 400 mW and at 2.55 W and LED@660 nm. All polymerization results have been summarized in Tables 3 and 4.
- At 660 nm, IR-140 borate resulted in effective polymerization, whereas polymerization was less optimal for IR780 iodide and Indocyanine Green (cf.
FIG. 6A ). The polymer obtained with IR-140 was tack-free at the surface. - At 785 nm, the result is correlated to the laser intensity:
- At 400 mW/cm2 (
FIG. 6B ), IR-140 borate has better performance in terms of speed and of final conversion. However, both Indocyanine Green and IR-140 borate result in polymer formation. With Indocyanine Green, the final conversion is low and the polymer is liquid at the surface whereas with IR-140, the polymer is tack-free and the polymerization faster. IR-813 p-toluene sulfonate was also tested (results not shown inFIG. 6B ), but resulted in no polymerization at that particular laser intensity. - At 785 nm and 2.55 W/cm2, IR-140 borate still resulted in the faster polymerization (
FIG. 6C ). However, Indocyanine Green and IR-813 p-toluene sulfonate gave the same final conversion as IR-140 borate. For these three dyes, the polymer is tack-free at the surface. There is also polymerization at this wavelength and this intensity for IR-780 borate, Dithiolene Nickel, chlorophyllin copper sodium salt and Manganese Phthalocyanine. -

For IR-780 iodide, some polymerization was observed at 660 nm; whereas with IR-780 borate, a tack-free polymer was obtained with a final conversion of roughly 70% at 785 nm. For IR-140, there was polymerization with both counter-ions but the polymerization was faster with the borate than with the perchlorate and the final conversion was higher (
FIG. 7 ). - Cyanine dye S 2265 has recently been reported as effecting polymerization of UDMA monomer when combined with a second cyanine dye, S 0991). When S 2265 was used without S 0991, the melting is less efficient but crosslinking was still observed.
- In the present comparative example, S 2265 was used for the first time with a phosphine in a three-component photo-initiating composition “iodonium salt/phosphine/dye” according to the invention, to initiate free radical polymerization of Mix-MA upon irradiation at 785 nm (400 mW/cm2).
-
FIG. 8 shows the photopolymerization profiles of Mix-MA under air (methacrylates function conversion vs. irradiation time) in the presence of Ar2I+/PF6 − (3 w %), 4-dppba (2 w %) and (1) IR-140 borate (0.1 w %) or (2) S2265 (0.1 w %) under exposure to Laser@785 nm, 2.55 W/cm2; thickness=1.4 mm. The irradiation started at t=17 s. - As seen on
FIG. 8 , the polymerization was fast and resulted in a final conversion of roughly 80%. The resulting polymer that was tack-free at the surface. It is observed that the color of the resin changes before and after polymerization: the formulation is green before irradiation and becomes brown after irradiation. IR-140 borate lead to a faster and a higher conversion than S2265. - Photopolymerization using S 2265 without phosphine has been explored as comparative example. Under the same irradiation conditions as above, no polymerization was achieved after 800 s of irradiation at 785 nm (400mW/cm2). However, color change from green to brown was observed. We believe that the difference observed between the lack of polymerization in the comparative example described above, and the low polymerization observed with the S 2265/S 0991 dye combination in the literature is most likely due to the choice of monomer. The Mix-MA monomer mixture used in the comparative example gave a significantly less viscous liquid compared to the UDMA/S2265/S0991 mixture used in the literature. Therefore during the stirring of the reaction mixture in the comparative example, much more oxygen is dissolved in the reaction mixture, which in turn inhibits the free radical polymerization process. The phosphine present in the photo-initiating composition used in the comparative example serves to overcome this inhibition. This shows the synergistic effect of the tri-association dye+Ar2I+/PF6 −+4-dppba (4-dppba favors the polymerization efficiency).
- Incidentally, we can observe that IR-140 borate provides a more efficient photo-initiating system in presence of Ar2I+/4-dppba than S2265.
- The Examples that precede demonstrate the high performances for methacrylate resins using three-component photoinitiating systems according to the present invention, using a phosphine-based compound as reducing agent for regenerating the dye (i.e., three-component system: Dye/Iodonium/phosphine).
- The present Example aims at illustrating a three-component photo-initiating composition according to the invention, of the type “dye/Iodonium/amine-based reducing agent”. Specifically, Example 2 was repeated with a variety of dyes and two different amines as reducing agent for regenerating the dye.
- Experiments were performed using methacrylate resin Mix-MA as polymerizable component.

IR 783,IR 813 and indocyanine green are commercial dyes and were used as such, whileIR 780 andIR 140 were prepared by ion exchange with a borate salt (i.e., IR-780 borate andIR 140 borate were used in this experiment). - Mix-MA: mixture of 33 wt % of (hydroxypropyl)methacrylate (HPMA), 33 wt % of 1,4-butanediol dimethacrylate (1,4-BDDMA) and 33 wt % of a urethane dimethacrylate monomer (UDMA).
- The polymerization profiles of methacrylate functions were followed by Real-time Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (RT-FTIR) experiments for thick samples (1.4 mm), under air. The comparative efficiency of the different NIR dyes in photoinitiating system (PS/Iodonium salt/amines) is illustrated in
FIG. 9 . It can be observed inFIG. 9A that a rather good polymerization efficiency in terms of methacrylate final function conversion (FC˜90%) but also good rate of polymerization when using NPG as amine. As shown inFIG. 9B , the systems based on DABA as amine afforded also excellent conversions with different dyes where full final conversions are reached after 100 s of irradiation with the diode laser@785 nm (I=2.5 W/cm2). - The stability upon storage in dark conditions and at room temperature has been also particularly investigated in order to find the best systems for final applications. The experiments show that the photoinitiating ability of
IR 780 andIR 783 did not significantly decrease upon storage, thereby demonstrating the stability of the proposed dyes/Iodonium/amines (NPG or DABA) based photoinitiating systems in the photocurable formulations. Dye-based formulations can therefore be stored for some months. - The Examples that precede illustrate the efficacy of a three-component photo-initiating composition according to the invention, for example for NIR curing of methacrylate monomers. Radical photopolymerization of methacrylates using two wavelengths of irradiation (660 nm and 785 nm) was successfully initiated by several types of absorbing dyes, including novel silicon phthalocyanine based dyes and borate-dyes. The synergistic effect associated with the combination absorbing dye/oxidizing agent/reducing agent as described generally in the present document has been illustrated with various combinations of dyes/iodonium salt/phosphine as well as dyes/iodonium salt/amine and has been proved as a very efficient photo-initiating system. The system successfully polymerized with only 400 mW.
- The red to NIR curing technology described herein relies on the use of a red to NIR absorbing dye which, combined with a particular selection of additives, affords very reactive three-component systems under red to NIR irradiation. The red to NIR curing technology of the present invention can offer an attractive alternative to existing UV/visible systems. The performances are particularly high for thick samples which require a fast curing.
- While we have described a number of embodiments of this invention, it is apparent that our basic examples may be altered to provide other embodiments that utilize the catalysts and methods of this invention. Therefore, it will be appreciated that the scope of this invention is to be defined by the appended claims rather than by the specific embodiments that have been represented by way of example.
