Travel to Attend "Mr. Clean" Conference, October 18-21, 1994

摘要 提案编号：CTS-9424390 P.I.： 亚历克B。斯克兰顿 固化油墨、薄膜和涂料排放的VOC是大气污染的主要原因。 VOC赋予油墨和涂料配方所需的粘度和固化速率特性。 油墨或涂料制剂必须具有足够的流动性以易于施加（通常通过一系列转移辊施加到快速移动的基底上），但必须快速固化成硬膜。 这些要求通过在油墨和涂料配方中使用快速蒸发的有机溶剂得到满足。 本文研究了环氧化合物和双乙烯基醚的阳离子光聚合在油墨和涂料中的应用。 这个过程不会释放VOC。 这是该过程的基本实验和理论研究，包括开发反应温度和反应程度的详细曲线以及最终薄膜的物理，机械和热特性。 1994年10月18日至21日，在佛罗里达的可可海滩举行的“清洁先生”会议上，首席研究员介绍了这项研究的结果。

ABSTRACT Proposal Number: CTS-9424390 P.I.: Alec B. Scranton The emission of VOCs from curing inks, films, and coatings is a leading cause of atmospheric pollution. VOCs impart desirable viscosity and cure rate properties to ink and coating formulations. An ink or coating formulation must be sufficiently fluid to be easily applied (often onto a rapidly moving substrate through a series of transfer rollers), but must cure rapidly to a hard film. These demands have been met through the use of rapidly evaporating organic solvent in the ink and coating formulations. This work investigates the use of cationic photopolymerization of diepoxides and bisvinyl ethers for such inks and coatings. This process emits no VOCs. This is a fundamental experimental and theoretical investigation of this process including developing detailed profiles of the reaction temperature and the extent of reaction as well as the physical, mechanical and thermal characterization of the final films. The principal investigator is presenting the results of this research at a "Mr. Clean" conference at Cocoa Beach, Florida on October 18-21, 1994.
