Abstract
In this study, we designed and synthesized four α-ketone aryl thioesters photoinitiators (PTEs) with excellent cytocompatibility for LED photopolymerization using a simple one-step reaction. We investigated the potential photopolymerization initiation mechanisms of PTEs under 405 nm LED irradiation through ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectroscopy, and electron spin resonance. Our findings revealed that PTEs can effectively initiate the photopolymerization of acrylate monomer tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) under either 405 nm or 455 nm LED irradiation, achieving double bond conversions of approximately 80 % or higher after 180 s of irradiation. Remarkably, compared to the commercial photoinitiator 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl-diphenylphosphine oxide (TPO) and benzoyl methacrylate (MBF), PTEs exhibit certain advantage in initiating photopolymerization of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) widely used for dental materials under the irradiation of 405 nm. More importantly, MO-PTE has better cytocompatibility compared to TPO and exhibits a great potential in the fields of LED photopolymerization, biomaterials and food packaging.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
