Abstract
Oligomers that contain photoinitiating groups are of considerable interest for practical applications in UV-curable formulations. These photoinitiators (PIs) are called macromolecular PIs, oligomer(ic) PIs, polymeric PIs, or polymer-bound PIs depending on the chemical structure and molecular weight. The main advantages expected from the high molecular weight photoinitiators are:
-
Good compatibility with ingredients in the formulation
-
Low migration tendency both in the uncured formulation and in the UV-cured product
-
Low volatility, hence reduced odor problems
-
Reduced yellowing effect due to the low migration of the residual unreacted PI and photoreacted PI fragments to the film surface.
