Light-induced crosslinking polymerization of a novel N-substituted bis-maleimide monomer

UV curing of a liquid based bismaleimide-containing polymer system

“…The UV curing polymerization proceeded very fast and finished in several minutes, proving that this technique is more efficient than conventional thermosetting method. BMI was reported to have a capability to initiate a photopolymerization in some systems via accepterdonor mechanism [2,27,28], but for this study, a repetition of this capability could not be achieved. AMP resins polymerized very fast and the reaction completed within second.…”

“…The new curing method possesses many advantages, such as room temperature cure, high reaction rate, energy efficiency, low volatility of organic compound and easy control. The UV cure mechanism and kinetics for homo-and copolymerization of BMI, and their final cure properties were reported [2,27,28]. This paper reports on the study of a new liquid formulation for a BMI/n-acryloylmorpholine polymer system for UV curing.…”

Live Lymphocyte Arrays for Biosensing

“…A precursor solution of poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) and a photoinitiator was perfused into the open channels generated between the stamp and the substrate and polymerized by UV irradiation. Maleimide groups present at the substrate surface copolymerized in this reaction, [51,52] anchoring the hydrogel to the substrate. Conformal contact of the PDMS posts with the substrate prevented the precursor solution from penetrating underneath the posts during polymerization.…”

Novel Polymerizable Sulfur‐Containing Benzophenones as Free‐Radical Photoinitiators for Photopolymerization

“…Polymerizable and polymeric photoinitiators have attracted much interest [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] due to their ability to reduce the migration of species and attain greater photoefficiency. Conventionally, these photoinitiators have been classed as belonging either to a type-I or a type-II system.…”

“…[2,4,19] In many cases, the presence of polymerizable functionalities or polymer chains in polymeric photoinitiators may both improve the compatibility in the formulation and reduce migration onto the film surface. [5] Two routes may be used to achieve polymerizable type-II photoinitiators: [3,8,[16][17][18][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] One is to have a polymerizable group linked to the photoinitiator; the other is to use the polymerizable amine synergist. Most type-II polymerizable or polymeric photoinitiators are based on BP, [1,5,25,27,28] probably because of its relatively low cost.…”
