Summaries

Recent advances in photoinitiated cross-linking will be presented, in particular regarding the efficiency of novel photoinitiators, monomers and functionalised oligomers, as well as the performance of the polymers obtained by this environmental-friendly technology. Such ultra-fast reactions can be easily followed in real-time and quantitatively by infrared spectroscopy, to assess the influence of chemical and physical parameters on the polymerisation kinetics. Because of their remarkable properties and high resistance, such ultraviolet (UV)-cured coatings proved particularly efficient to protect a large variety of materials (plastics, metals, paper, wood) against chemical attack, corrosion and weathering.

Résumé

Les progrès récemment accomplis dans le domaine de la photopolymérisation réticulante sont présentés dans cet article, notamment ceux relatifs à l’efficacité de nouveaux photoamorceurs, monomères et oligomères fonctionnalisés, ainsi qu’aux performances des polymères obtenus par cette technologie qui préserve l’environnement. Ces réactions ultrarapides peuvent facilement être suivies en temps réel et quantitativement par spectroscopie infrarouge, pour évaluer l’influence des paramètres chimiques et physiques sur la cinétique de polymérisation. Du fait de leurs excellentes propriétés et de leur grande résistance, ces revêtements photopolymérisés se sont avérés très efficaces pour protéger une large gamme de matériaux (matières plastiques, métaux, papier, bois) contre l’attaque chimique, la corrosion et le vieillissement atmosphérique.

Zusammenfassung

Wir präsentieren neue Entwicklungen bei fotoinitiierten Kreuzverbindungen, insbesondere mit Blick auf neue Fotoinitiatoren, Monomere und funktionelle Oligomere, als auch die Leistung der Polymere, die wir duch diese umweltfreundliche Technologie erhalten haben. Solche schnelle Reaktionen können mit Hilfe von Infrarotspektroskopie leicht in Echtzeit und quantitativ verfolgt werden, und der Einfluß von chemischen und physikalischen Parametern auf die Polymerisationskinetik bewertet werden. Wegen ihren bemerkenswerten Eigenschaften und hoher Resistenz sind solche UV-gehärteten Lacke besonders geeignet, eine weite Reihe von Materialien wie Plastik, Metall, Papier und Holz von chemischen Angriffen, Korrosion und Witterungseinflüssen zu schützen.
