•New visible light initiators of oxime ester based on triphenylamine derivatives were synthesized.•Exhibited a red-shifted maximum absorption wavelength of 402 nm and had high molar absorption coefficient.•High degree of double bond conversion under LED@480 nm (5 mW/cm2)•TOXE-4 can be use in 3D printers with 15 s/slice.
With the development of light-emitting diode (LED), it is increasingly important to design and prepare photoinitiators that can be used for LED excitation. We designed and synthesized four new LED oxime ester photoinitiators (TOXEs) based on the triphenylamine group. Among them, the maximum absorption wavelengths of TOXE-3 and TOXE-4 are red-shifted to 402 nm and 397 nm, and have high molar absorption coefficients (ε) of 24315 M-1cm−1 and 29915 M-1cm−1, respectively, which are higher than that of ethenone, 1-[9-ethyl-6-(2-methylbenzoyl)-9H-carbazol-3-yl] ethanone 1-(O-acetyloxime) (OXE02, 342 nm, 21836 M-1cm−1), indicating that it can be used in LED polymerization. Investigating the photopolymerization properties of the TOXEs/α, ω-diacryloyl poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGDA) system, under LED@365 nm irradiation, the double bond conversion rate (DC) of TOXE-1 and TOXE-2 were 83 % and 92 %, which were higher than OXE02 (80 %). Under LED@405 nm irradiation, the DC of TOXE-3 and TOXE-4 are 80 % and 78 % respectively, which is higher than that of OXE02 (52 %). To improve the photoinitiation ability of TOXEs, a two-component photoinitiation system using bis(4-tert-butylphenyl) iodonium (Iod) as an additive was tested. The DC of TOXEs has been improved under different light sources. Under LED@480 nm irradiation, the final DC of TOXE-4/Iod/PEGDA is 83 %. In addition, TOXE-3 and TOXE-4 can be applied to the laser cladding deposition (LCD) 3D printers. At the same time, we conduct research and verification on the polymerization mechanism of TOXEs through steady-state photolysis and electron spin resonance spin trapping experiments (ESR-ST). In addition, cytotoxicity assay and thermal stability testing showed that TOXEs exhibited excellent biocompatibility and thermal stability. |
