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

摘要建议编号：CTS-9424390 P.I.：Alec B.Scranton固化油墨、薄膜和涂料中的VOCs排放是大气污染的主要原因。VOCs为油墨和涂料配方提供了理想的粘度和固化速率特性。油墨或涂料配方必须具有足够的流动性，以便于涂布(通常通过一系列转印辊快速移动到基材上)，但必须迅速固化成坚硬的薄膜。通过在油墨和涂料配方中使用快速蒸发的有机溶剂，满足了这些要求。这项工作研究了阳离子光聚合二环氧化合物和双乙烯基醚在这种油墨和涂料中的应用。此过程不会排放任何VOC。这是对这一过程的基本实验和理论研究，包括建立反应温度和反应程度的详细轮廓，以及最终薄膜的物理、机械和热表征。这位首席研究员于1994年10月18日至21日在佛罗里达州可可海滩举行的“清洁先生”会议上展示了这项研究的结果。

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.
