Synthesis of Perfluorinated Oxetane and Surface Properties of Its Cationic UV Cured Coating as a Reactive Additive

摘要

Perfluorinated oxetane(F-OXE) was synthesized via the ring-opening reaction of epoxy-functionalized oxetane with 2-(perfluorooctyl)ethanol under base-catalysis,and characterized by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy.The synthesized F-OXE was mixed with a commercial cationic UV curable resin,UVR6110,as a reactive additive at different mass fractions,and UV-irradiation cured in the presence of triphenylsulphonium hexafluoroantimonate as a cationic photoinitiator.The surface property study of cured films indicated that both hydrophobicity and oleophobicity were effectively enhanced by the addition of a small amount of F-OXE.The contact angles of water and 1-bromonaphthalene on the surface of the cured film with 1.0％(mass fraction) F-OXE loading increased from 72° to 106° and from 0° to 76°,respectively,compared with those on the surface of the film without F-OXE addition.The surface tension of UVR6110-F-OXE cured film decreased greatly from 55.6 mN/m of referenced film to 22.9 mN/m.The results from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirm the migration and aggregation effect of perfluoroalkyl group to the surface of cured film.For 1％(mass fraction) addition of F-OXE,the relative content of fluorine greatly increased from 0.70％(mass fraction) in the interior of the cured film to 36.73°％(mass fraction) at the surface of the cured film,whereas those of carbon and oxygen decreased from 73.29％ to 40.96％ and from 26.00％ to22.30％,respectively.
