Definitions
- Formulations BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION discloses novel stabilizers used to extend the useful-life of formulations containing photoacid precursors. These stabilizers are useful for extending formulation shelf- life and for extending the in-use life in cases where the formulation is exposed to low initiating light levels such as room lighting or extraneous light from an exposure source.
- this invention discloses novel methods for comprising the stabilizers in the formulation such that the stabilizer concentration remains substantially constant and such that the photohardening speed of the composition is essentially unaffected.
- Photoacid precursors are often used in compositions to initiate polymerization, to cause de-polymerization, and to generate color. Many of the photoacid precursors have been found to be thermally or hydrolytically unstable. Some of the photoacid precursors may be acceptably thermally and hydrolytically stable, however, there may be residual acid in the photoacid precursor product, or there may be some acid generation due to absorption of light from the room or extraneous light from the exposure process. In some compositions, for example epoxy based compositions, a small amount of this acid will initiate the polymerization and eventually lead to a gellation of the polymer or actual hardening of the polymer.
- U.S. 3,721,616 by Watt proposes the use of various nitrile compounds such as acetonitrile which stabilized some epoxy compositions containing chlorobenzenediazonium hexaflorophosphate for several days. The samples without the nitrile compounds formed a gel within four days. Nitrile compounds may be useful for some systems, however, now that most of them are considered suspect carcinogens, it would usually be preferable to avoid these stabilizers especially in processes that involve significant skin contact. Within this patent Watt teaches that it is undesirable to have a stabilizer that forms undissolved solid particles or immiscible liquid globules. This teaches away from the instant invention wherein undissolved solid particles are preferred and significantly advantageous.
- the liquid epoxies may be stored for long periods of time.
- the liquid epoxy is utilized in deep vats, for example 500 mm deep vats.
- the photoacid precursor and or a sensitizer for the precursor may not be particularly absorbing at room lighting wavelengths, the depth of the vat provides a significant absorption cross-section such that the light that passes into the vat has ample opportunity to cause some actinic effect . While yellow or red room lights may be recommended to avoid the effects of room light exposure, some users of Solid Imaging systems are reticent to convert to these lighting conditions.
- a similar situation occurs in cantilevered or bridging regions where the exposure through the layer being imaged and hardened reaches a point that the amount of exposure is no longer capable of producing enough acid to polymerize the epoxy such that the acid becomes locked in.
- Another system source of free acid occurs, for example, when the beam is moved from one image region to another. If the exposure system uses an acousto-optic modulator, the beam irradiance is often reduced to a lower level, for example 1/25'th or 1/1000'th the imaging irradiance, and the beam is often moved very quickly from one image region to another. However, this reduced exposure is still capable of generating acid even if it is not capable of insolubilizing the epoxy composition along the path.
- Further system sources of such low exposures occur from reflections within the chamber caused by, for example, reflections from the surface of the liquid, reflections from various beam sensors, and scattered light from mirrors and optics.
- Many bases are capable of neutralizing the acid generated thermally, hydrolytically, or by light. However, some bases are strong enough to cause reaction or polymerization and therefore are not useful stabilizers.
- the concentration of the stabilizing base is important. If the base concentration is too high, any acid generated by exposure of the photoacid precursor will become neutralized by the base. Therefore low concentrations of base are preferred in order to provide minimal effect on the desired cure.
- the stabilized photoacid precursor formulation of the present invention comprising: a photoacid precursor and a stabilizer having a limited solubility in the formulation and having a density which is different from that of the formulation wherein, the stabilizer is a salt of a metal of Group IA, a metal of Group IIA, ammonia or a substituted ammonia and a weak acid and wherein the stabilizer in the formulation is present in an amount that is in excess of its solubility.
- the stabilizer is a either a salt of a metal of Group IA, a metal of Group IIA, ammonia or a substituted ammonia and a weak acid having a limited solubility in the formulation.
- the concentration of the stabilizer in the formulation is maintained by the presence of the salt in excess of its limited solubility.
- the stabilizer can also be a material which is not a salt, but is a solid phase material having essentially zero solubility.
- the stabilizer has a surface containing active acid receptor sites; and when in contact with the formulation, neutralized or binds free acid present in the formulation. In each case the density of the stabilizer is different from that of the formulation allowing the placement of stabilizer solid phase to be such that it can be maintained in particular regions of the formulation. In solid imaging systems the stabilizer can be placed in contact with the formulation so it is out of the image region.
- Preferred stabilizers are salts of metals of Group IA and weak inorganic acids.
- Solubility of the stabilizer can be enhanced in the formulation by the addition of water or an alcohol in which the stabilizer has solubility.
- the present invention also provides a method of stabilizing a photoacid precursor formulation comprising the steps of: a. contacting the formulation with a stabilizer present as a solid phase in the formulation wherein the stabilizer has a surface which provides limited solubility of the stabilizer in the formulation or that provides surface having active acid receptor sites and wherein the density of the stabilizer is different from that of the formulation; b. reacting the free acid present in the formulation with the stabilizer so as to neutralize or remove the acid; and c. maintaining the concentration of any dissolved stabilizer by having an excess of the amount of the stabilizer in contact with the formulation beyond that which is sufficient to saturate the formulation.
- the stabilizers of the present invention reduce the entrapment of bubbles and improve the cleanability of objects formed in a layer by layer Solid Imaging process as well as improving the image resolution.
- photoacid precursor formulation in its broadest interpretation refers to any mixture containing at least a photoacid precursor which, when exposed to suitable radiant energy, will form an acid.
- the term stabilize means to prevent or delay the increase in viscosity of the formulation that results from the presence of free acid in regions of the solution outside of those where polymerization and hardening of the formulation is desired, for example, outside of the exposed or imaged regions of the formulation.
- the term limited solubility refers to a solubility of that stabilizer which provides a limited concentration of stabilizer species to be dissolved in the formulation and to establish a solubility equilibrium with ions in the saturated formulation solution and an excess undissolved salt present as a solid phase in the formulation.
- the solubility is that measured in the formulation and is at least more than Ixl0 ⁇ 4 g/1 but less than 0.5g/l. Solubility may be enhanced by the addition to the formulation of water in concentrations equal to or less than 3% by weight of the formulation or by the addition of an alcohol in which the stabilizer has solubility.
- the term having a solubility of essentially zero refers to materials ionic or covalent which appear to have no appreciable limited solubility in the formulation, but provide on a surface of the material active acid receptor sites which on contact with acid in the formulation will neutralize or bind the acid thus removing it as an active species from the formulation.
- weak acid means an acid that has a pKa measured in water that is greater than 3.0.
- Photoacid precursors are useful for initiating various polymerizations such as epoxides, lactones, acetals, cyclic sulfides, vinyl ethers, cyclic ethers, siloxanes, etc., which can undergo cationic polymerization. Most photoacid precursors, however, exhibit some degree of thermal and hydrolytic instability. And all photoacid precursors by design are subject to instability due to light absorption which may occur from extraneous exposures as well as deliberate exposures. The acid generated may have an unlimited lifetime in the absence of bases or certain nucleophiles.
- the stabilizer may be present to the extent that the average polymer chain length, formed within the deliberately imaged region, is so short as to yield poor physical properties.
- the primary goal of photoacid precursor formulations is to produce an acid only in the regions that are deliberately imaged. If a stabilizer is to be comprised in the formulation, it would preferably exist outside the image region or it would have minimal neutralizing effect within the image region.
- the inventors propose two classes of stabilizer means which effectively provide adequate stabilization within the photoacid precursor formulation while causing little to no impact on the effectiveness of the acid formed within the image region.
- the first class of stabilizer is that which is essentially insoluble within the photoacid precursor formulation, and includes, for example organic or polymeric materials or mineral substances having active acid receptor sites present on surfaces of the materials and which are available to react with free acid at the phase interface such as would exist when these materials are in contact with the photoacid formulation.
- the stabilizing material would be immersed within or in contact with the formulation but outside the image region. The contact of the stabilizer with the formulation allows the surface of the stabilizer which is a separate phase from that of the formulation to provide an interface at which the active acid receptor sites can react with any free acid which comes in contact with the stabilizer at the interface.
- One way of accomplishing this is to, for example, drape a stabilizer which has been fashioned into a cloth that neutralizes any of the acid or propagating polymer reaction which comes into contact with the cloth.
- a cloth could be made from, for example, nitrile polymers or a fairly high molecular weight polyvinylpyrrolidone, or a phenol-formaldehyde coated or urethane coated fabric, or a fabric bound ion exchange resin.
- the stabilizer could be suspended in a fabric bag which allows permeation of the photoacid precursor formulation through the bag but retains the stabilizer within the bag.
- Other methods might be to place high or low density (relative to the formulation density) powders or elements with stabilizing capability within the photoacid precursor formulation.
- Examples of generally high density materials are, for example, strongly basic cross-linked ion exchange resins, certain feldspars, for example albite, anorthite, orthoclase, celsian, and the like, or zeolites and ultramarines.
- Examples of low density materials are hollow beads made of, for example, poly- acrylonitrile.
- this class of stabilizer it is not necessary to rely upon just thermal diffusion to induce contact between the acid and the stabilizer, since actions such as, for example, movement of the stabilizing cloth or screen in the formulation, or active circulation of the photoacid precursor through an ion exchange column are viable means of neutralizing the formulation outside the image region. Should the neutralizing capability of this class of stabilizer become reduced over time, the cloth can be replaced or more stabilizer can be added. In any case, excess neutralizing capacity of this class of stabilizer is not a concern since the stabilizer is substantially insoluble in the photoacid precursor formulation and the stabilizer exists in regions away from the imaged region of the formulation. This class of stabilizer need only be present and in contact with the formulation in an amount sufficient to provide active sites to react with free acid.
- the free acid concentration is normally low so that any means to provide a surface area of the stabilizer that is at least 100% of that of the total surface area of the vat in which the formulation is being used is sufficient surface to provide stabilization particularly if there is some means of circulating the liquid formulation over the surface of the stabilizer, for example moving the stabilizer through the formulation or pumping the stabilizer through a bed of loosely packed stabilizer solids such as the case when using an ion exchange resin or polymer or mineral bead particles as the stabilizer.
- a second class of stabilizer is one in which the dissolved concentration of stabilizer within the photoacid precursor formulation is controlled primarily by the stabilizer solubility limit.
- This class of stabilizers is represented, for example, by salts of weak acids.
- This second class of stabilizer is more preferred since in this case, a neutralizing capability can exist within and in close proximity to the image region, yet if the solubility limit is low enough, the amount of neutralizing capability of the stabilizer is substantially minimized such that it has effectively no degradative effect in the image region. And, just outside the image region, where extraneous light exposure conditions may exist, the stabilizer is capable of neutralizing the acid or polymerization growth.
- an undissolved excess i.e.
- the stabilizer may have a density greater or lower than the photoacid precursor formulation such that the stabilizer floats or sinks out of the image region, or the stabilizer may be kept in a bag such that only that which is dissolved may leave the bag, or the stabilizer may be in the form of a pellet which dissolves up to the solubility limit of the formulation.
- the stabilizer density to formulation density be greater than 1.2 or less than 0.83. This would ensure that the excess stabilizer would either sink or float away from the intended image region. If there is moderate mixing within the formulation, a density ratio greater than 1.5 or less than 0.65 is preferred.
- this second class of stabilizer As the stabilizer neutralizes the acid or growing polymer chain, a new compound is produced and more of the excess stabilizer can then dissolve up to the solubility limit of the formulation. In this way, the neutralizing capability of the stabilizer within the formulation remains substantially constant as determined by the solubility limit.
- the advantages of this class of stabilizer are especially apparent in liquid photoacid precursor formulations where a polymerization is occurring due to the production of acid from an imagewise exposure. Within the image region, if the exposure is high enough, the stabilizer that exists in the solubility limited concentration is for the most part quickly consumed.
- the stabilizer outside the image region of the photoacid precursor formulation cannot easily move into the image region and neutralize the acid or growing polymer chains.
- the formulation remains a liquid and it is possible for new stabilizer to migrate to the image edge from the surrounding formulation and neutralize the acid or growing polymer. This leads to a significant improvement in image resolution since within the image region the acid concentration is high and contained in the polymer matrix and the stabilizer concentration is quickly consumed and more stabilizer cannot move into the polymer matrix.
- the ability of the stabilizer concentration to recover, despite consumption due to acid neutralization, due to the excess presence of stabilizer which can be dissolved up to the solubility limit is a significant advantage especially in the Solid Imaging process. If the formulation stabilizer concentration were fixed, the concentration would be expected to become diminished during the fabrication of the object. This would likely cause an increase in the amount of bubbles at the sides of the object, greater difficulty in cleaning, loss of resolution in the object, and poorer coating as the object fabrication progressed. However, in the case of the stabilizers of the instant invention, where there is an excess of stabilizer present and where the formulation concentration of stabilizer is constantly being renewed from this excess, there would not be such a loss of resolution, increase in bubbles, greater difficulty in cleaning, or decrease in coating quality.
- the activity of either class of stabilizer can be checked by sampling the formulation for the presence of free acid by using an acid dye indicator.
- an acid dye indicator for Solid Imaging formulations a 1% by weight solution of the indicator Copikem XX [3, 3-Bis (l-butyl-2-methylindol-3- yDphthalide available from Hilton Davis Co., Cincinnati, Ohio 45237] is particular useful for detecting low concentrations of free acid and can be used to determine when and if stabilizer solids need to be added to the formulation.
- Some examples of materials that are stabilizers of the present invention are: the salts of weak carboxylic acids including carboxylic acids having alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aryl-alkyl groups with Group IA and IIA metals and salts of Group IA and IIA metals, or ammonium and substituted ammonium salts of these same acids.
- the salts of weak carboxylic acids including carboxylic acids having alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aryl-alkyl groups with Group IA and IIA metals and salts of Group IA and IIA metals, or ammonium and substituted ammonium salts of these same acids.
- R and R' are hydrogen or an alkyl or aryl group and R or R' can be alike or different.
- inorganic salts of weak acids and Group IA and IIA metals for example Na S ⁇ 3 , NaHS0 3 and carbonates and bicarbonates of Group IA and IIA metals.
- a weak acid is one which is not completely ionized in a water solution and can establish a buffer in water.
- salts that are too soluable are to be avoided. In these cases, the solubility varies considerably based upon the composition of the stabilizer and the solvating nature of the photoacid precursor formulation.
- Formulation A contained 3% of an iodonium salt (4-octyloxyphenyl) phenyliodonium hexafluoroantimonate (GE Silicones, Rte. 4 and 32, Waterford, NY), also known as Octacat or OPPI and detailed in U.S. 4,981,881 and a sensitizer isopropyl thioxanthone since the photoacid precursor is not particularly photosensitive at the argon ion wavelengths.
- iodonium salt (4-octyloxyphenyl) phenyliodonium hexafluoroantimonate
- Formulation B contained 0.22% of a diazonium salt, 9-Ethyl-3-Carbazole Diazonium Hexafluoroantimonate (detailed in U.S. 5,002,856, Anderson, Example 1) .
- the Triarylsulfonium Salt of Formulation C is UVI-6974 which is a mixture of 50% propylene carbonate and mixed triarylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate salts (Union Carbide) .
- the formulations of Table 1 were prepared in 75 gram quantities in an open top jar and mixed in an ultrasound bath for 10 minutes. A magnetic rod was placed in the jar and the mixture was stirred gently with a magnetic stirrer. Every two seconds an exposure was given to the top surface of the formulation using an argon ion laser operating in the UV with lines 333, 351, and 364 nm wavelength output. Each exposure was approximately 1.88 mJ/cm 2 and was made in an annulus image shape having an area of approximately 900 mm with the scan lines approximately 10 mils apart. The beam spot at the formulation surface was approximately 6 mils 1/e 2 diameter. The relative humidity during the exposure was approximately 50%.
- the lack of color or only slight change in color of the samples is an indication that the stabilizer is capable of neutralizing the effects of the 1000 multiple exposures.
- the jar of Formulation C was left to rest for about an hour and then another sample of C was decanted.
- the second sample of C did not turn visibly red upon the addition of the dye. This is an indication that the stabilizer takes time to dissolve into the photoacid precursor formulation where it then can neutralize the acid in the formulation.
- Each Formulation of Table 1 was given an additional 3000 exposures as detailed above while mixing. Again a portion of each formulation was decanted. Solutions A and C had turned yellow and Sample B had turned brown. Upon the addition of the indicating dye sample B exhibited a slight increase in color. Sample A showed no increase in color. Sample C turned dark red.
- Cyracure resins UVR-6105 and UVR-6128 are 3, -epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexane Carboxlate and Bis- (3,4-epoxycyclohexyl) Adipate respectively (Union Carbide) .
- EPON 1050 is an epoxy phenol novolac resin having an epoxide equivalent weight of approximately 178 (Shell) .
- Tone 0301 is a caprolactone triol having a number average molecular weight of 300.
- Irgacure 2959 is a free-radical photoinitiator which is named 2-hydroxy-1- [4-
- the exposure parameters were calculated by means well known in the art of Solid Imaging.
- the value of Eio (mJ/cm 2 ) is a comparative measure of photospeed. It is the calculated energy necessary to produce a layer that is 10 mils thick. It may be noted that the Epoxy Mix with 0.2% NaHC ⁇ 3 added as a stabilizer has a slightly higher Eio value indicating that the mixture has a slightly lower photospeed. In general, all of the exposed squares had good modulus, based upon a tactile evaluation, but the 0.2% NaHC03 squares felt slightly softer than those of the other mixtures.
- This multiple exposure test is to simulate the effects of multiple extraneous exposures from, for example, stray light from an exposure source or room light in an accelerated manner. For the most part, such exposures, with either significant mixing or with sufficient time given for diffusion within the mixture, are not enough to insolubilize the mixture enough to create a surface film. In the accelerated test, however, once a film began to form, it tended to become hardened by the repeated light exposures since the material in the film was essentially insolubilized and could not mix with the remaining mixture. In addition, the stabilizer in the unhardened mixture could not penetrate into the film in order to neutralize the acid and polymerizing chains.
- the exposure parameters were taken in the same manner as described above.
- the values of the new exposure parameters are labeled Final Exposure Parameters. In all cases the depth of penetration Dp increased but the photospeed was substantially unaffected. Based upon a tactile comparison, the modulus of all the imaged squares from the multiple exposed mixtures was softer than that of the mixtures prior to the multiple exposure test.
- Table 4 shows the performance of various stabilizers and various concentrations in the Epoxy Mix when an accelerated 80°C oven storage test is used.
- the samples stabilized with NaHC ⁇ 3 were from a batch of material that had been used in a Solid Imaging process prior to stabilization. It is believed that the photoacid precursor UVI-6974 is somewhat thermally unstable at 80°C.
- Adjustment of the photoacid precursor solutions stabilizer solubility limit may be accomplished by altering the stabilizing compound or by altering the photoacid precursor formulation slightly.
- Table 5 the following sets of photoacid precursor solutions were mixed in 100 gram sample sizes and placed in open top jars. Each formulation was exposed to the same series of 5333 repetitive exposures that were applied to earlier tests while they were gently mixed with a magnetic stirrer.
- formulation VII indicates that the presence of just water is not the cause of the improved stability of formulation VI.
- the time after performing the repeated exposure till the time when the viscosity was taken varied considerably.
- the stabilized samples can be expected to have a slight change in viscosity with time, while the unstabilized samples will have an increase in viscosity over time.
