This article describes the use of functionalized quinoxaline derivatives as photosensitizers for diaryliodonium salt photoinitiators. Highly conjugated compounds with good absorption bands in long wavelength UV and visible region are presented. These versatile intermediates facilitate photoinitiated cationic polymerization of commercially important monomers such as cyclic ethers and vinyl epoxides. Polymerizations were carried out using long wavelength UV light in the presence of diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate (Ph2I+PF6-). The polymerizations were monitored by optical pyrometry (OP). In addition, we also demonstrate that it was also possible to initiate photopolymerizations under solar irradiation in the presence of these photosensitizers.

The use of two dibenzo[a,c]phenazine derivatives, 10,13-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)dibenzo[a,c]phenazine and 10,13-bis(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)dibenzo[a,c]phenazine are reported as photosensitizers for diaryliodonium salt photoinitiators. Novel dyes based on the dibenzo[a,c]phenazine skeleton are shown to be efficient in carrying out the cationic photopolymerizations. Representative examples of different types of monomers including epoxide, and vinyl monomers are polymerized in the presence o...

This article reports the use of a quinoxaline derivative as a photosensitizer for diaryliodonium salt photoinitiators. 2,3-bis(3,4-bis(decyloxy)phenyl)-5,8-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]-dioxin-5-yl)quinoxaline (DOPEQ), is a highly conjugated compound with strong absorption bands at wavelengths ranging from 300 to 550 nm and is shown to facilitate photoinitiated cationic polymerization of heterocyclic monomers such as oxiranes and oxetanes. The polymerizations are initiated at room temperature by using l...
Highly efficient polymer blends from a polyfluorene derivative and PVK for LEDs
NOWACKI, Bruno; IAMAZAKI, Eduardo; Çırpan, Ali; KARASZ, Frank; ATVARS, Teresa D.Z.; AKCELRUD, Leni (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-27)
The photophysical and electroluminescent properties of blends of a polyfluorene derivative of the PPV type, poly[(9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluorene-2,7-diyl)-1,2-ethenediyl-1,4-phenylene-1,2-ethenediyl] (labeled as LaPPS16) and poly(vinylcarbazole) - PVK are presented and discussed in terms of the operating light emission mechanisms. Static and dynamic fluorescence measurements and morphology data showed a powerful exciton migration from the host (PVK) to the guest (LaPPS16) resulting in emission coming from solely L...
ALTERNATING CYCLOPOLYMERIZATION OF ALLYL TRANS-CINNAMATE AND MALEIC-ANHYDRIDE
RZAEV, ZMO; AKOVALI, G; MEDYAKOVA, LV (Elsevier BV, 1994-01-01)
Some features of the radical copolymerization of allyl cinnamate bifunctional monomers, containing donor (allyl)-acceptor (beta-phenylacryl) double bonds in the molecule, with maleic anhydride have been revealed. The kinetic parameters of the reactions, including their complex-formation, cyclization and copolymerization constants, as well as the ratios of chain growth rates for the participation of monomeric charge-transfer complexes and free monomers, are all determined. It has been established that an alt...
ELECTROINITIATED POLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLAMIDE BY DIRECT ELECTRON-TRANSFER
HACIOGLU, B; Akbulut, Ural; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 1989-10-01)
Electroinitiated polymerization of acrylamide was carried out in acetonitrile–tetrabutylammonium fluoroborate by electrolytic reduction of monomer. It was shown by cyclic voltammetry that direct electron transfer from the cathode to the monomer can be achieved in this solvent–electrolyte system. Reduction peak potentials measured by cyclic voltammetry indicated that sodium salts will interfere with such a mechanism. Since the reduction peak potential of sodium salt and dimethylformamide are found to be lowe...
