  • Refractive index of the cured ink films on PET substrates was measured using a digital prism coupler (Model 2010, Metricon Inc., Pennington, NJ) at 450 nm at 20 °C.
  • DSC samples were prepared for thermal analysis by weighing and loading the material into TA Instruments (New Castle, Delaware) aluminum DSC sample pans. The specimens were analyzed using the TA Instruments Discovery Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC - SN DSC1-0091, New Castle, DE) utilizing a heat-cool-heat method in standard mode (-155 °C to about 150°C at 10 °C/minute.). After data collection, the thermal transitions were analyzed using the TA Universal Analysis program. The glass transition temperatures were evaluated using the step change in the standard heat flow (HF) curves. The midpoint (half height) temperature of the second heat transition is reported.
  • HF standard heat flow
  • Thiol-ene/yne formulations were prepared from mixtures of liquid thiols and alkenes/alkynes with mass ratios as shown in Table 2 below. The mass ratios were selected such that the thiol groups were in a one-to-one molar ratio with the alkene groups, and in formulations with alkyne groups, two equivalents of thiol per alkyne group were used. TPO-L was added at 3 wt% to the thiol and the -ene or - yne listed in Table 2 and the formulation was mixed thoroughly.
  • the liquid formulation was cast onto a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using a Meyer rod (number 10), and UV cured using a UV LED curing system (Clearstone Technologies Inc., Hopkins, MN, 395 nm, 100% intensity corresponding to 319 mW/cm 2 for 2 minutes at a distance of 1 cm from the surface of the sample). Transparent hardcoats were obtained. The samples were tested for refractive index and glass transition temperature and the results are reported in Table 2.
  • Comparative Example 12 (C12), methacrylate resin derived from biphenylmethyl acrylate (Ml) and bisphenol fluorene diacrylate (M2) was prepared following Example 4 in U.S. Pat. Publ. No. 2019/0352520 (Schwartz et al.). The refractive index is reported in Table 2.
  • T3 raises the refractive index of the cured product versus the comparative samples using the same thiol.
  • TPATTC and Mixed TA/P TCU raises both the refractive index as well as the Tg versus the comparative samples using the same thiol.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une composition d'encre durcissable dérivée d'au moins un dérivé de trithiocyanurate insaturé selon la formule (I) dans laquelle R 1 , R 2 , et R 3 comprennent chacun indépendamment un alkylène terminal ou un alcyne terminal; et au moins un thiol multifonctionnel, la composition d'encre durcissable étant sensiblement exempte de solvant. Ces compositions d'encre durcissables peuvent être imprimables par jet d'encre et, lorsqu'elles sont durcies, ont un indice de réfraction d'au moins 1,70 (lorsqu'elles sont mesurées à 450 nm).
