Cross-linked polymers were obtained by photopolymerization of epoxidized linseed oil with different reactive diluents (3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexane carboxylate, 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol diglycidyl ether, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether, and bis[4-(glycidyloxy)phenyl]methane) using the mixture of triarylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonates as photoinitiator. The kinetic of photocross-linking reactions of compositions with different concentrations of reactive diluents was investigated. The 69%-91% conversion of epoxy groups of the compositions containing reactive diluents was reached. The mechanical properties, thermal stability, and swelling in polar and nonpolar solvents of the photocross-linked polymers were studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
