Abstract
In this article, a series of high refractive indices (1.50–1.53) thiol phenyl polysiloxane (TPS) were synthesized via hydrolytic sol–gel reaction. The Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT–IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (NMR) results showed that TPS conformed to the predicted structures. Natural terpene linalool was exploited as photocrosslinker to fabricate UV–curing linalool–polysiloxane hybrid films (LPH) with TPS via photoinitiated thiol–ene reaction. LPH rapidly cured under UV irradiation at the intensity of 80 mW/cm2 in 30 s, exhibiting good UV–curing properties. The optical transmittance of LPH in the wavelength of 300–800 nm was over 90%, exhibiting good optical transparency. The water contact angle and water vapor permeability results showed that the introduction of phenyl groups enhance the hydrophobicity and water vapor barrier properties of LPH. The results indicated the potential of LPHs in the applications of optical functional coatings.
期刊介绍:
This journal publishes high quality peer reviewed original research and review articles on macromolecules and additives obtained from renewable/biobased resources. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, JRM introduces cutting-edge research on biobased monomers, polymers, additives (both organic and inorganic), their blends and composites. JRM showcases both fundamental aspects and applications of renewable materials. The fundamental topics include the synthesis and polymerization of biobased monomers and macromonomers, the chemical modification of natural polymers, as well as the characterization, structure-property relationships, processing, recycling, bio and environmental degradation and life cycle analysis of the ensuing materials, in view of their potential applications. Within this sustainability approach, green chemistry processes and studies falling within biorefinery contexts are strongly favored.
