N-Vinylcarbazole: As an Additive for Thermal Polymerization at Room Temperature with in situ Formation of Ag(0) Nanoparticules

Abstract: N-vinylcarbazole (NVK) is proposed as an additive for acrylates thermal free radical polymerization (FRP) and epoxy thermal ring opening polymerization (ROP) at room temperature. The new initiating systems are based on a silane/silver salt/N-vinylcarbazole interaction, which ensures good to excellent polymerization. Moreover, the polymerization is much more efficient under air than under argon. The effects of the N-vinylcarbazole, silane, silver salt and monomer structures are investigated. Interestingly, silv… Show more

“…Noteworthy, control experiments (3 wt % Iod alone in EPOX and 1 wt % NPG in EPOX) do not lead to significant CP processes (no or very low conversion), showing the role of the CTC for efficient polymerization. Also, as in the literature, it is possible to increase the final epoxide conversion (FC) by the introduction of N -vinylcarbazole (NVK , ) additive: 10% FC (Figure A, curve 2) against 20% FC (Figure A, curve 3). Interestingly, when adding 50 wt % fillers to the formulation, final conversion under LED@405 nm irradiation is unambiguously increased by reaching 70% epoxide conversion where only 40% were obtained for the clear sample under similar experimental conditions.…”

“…PVK was chosen because of its nearly insulating property with very low hole mobility (4.8 × 10 −9 cm 2 V −1 s −1 ) without backbone conjugation, [ 21 ] high glass transition temperature (≈220 °C) [ 22 ] and ease of fi ber printing originating from the high molecular weight ( M w = 1 100 000). Although PVK nanofi bers with diameters of 400-500 nm were fi ne for pixel separation (Figure 1 e), we used relatively thick fi bers to increase the thickness of layers that can be separated by the fi bers, and enhance insulation between pixels.…”

“…As many IPN generating strategies, dual FRP/CP should show great advantages of both propagating modes and reduced oxygen inhibition: a smart combination of both networks is expected. Two studies can be mentioned concerning the dual RFRP/RCP initiation: first, the pioneering work by Tehfe et al, inspired by recent advances in the light induced dual FRP/CP, used Diphenylsilane (DPSi) in combination with N-vinylcarbazole (FRPCP enhancing additive) with AgSbF 6 salt [262]. The proposed chemical mechanisms are highlighted in Scheme 29: the silane is reduced by Ag(I) which leads to the formation of a silyl radical (useful for RFRP of acrylates) and H + ,SbF 6 − superacids that are useful for (activated) epoxides RCP initiation.…”
