Abstract
Novel method of obtaining functional acrylic resins (FARs) containing carboxyl- and benzophenone groups (in-chain functionalization) and terminal Br atoms was verified. Acrylic oligomers were prepared by a solution-free, UV-initiated telomerization process of basic monomer (n-butyl acrylate) and functional monomers (acrylic acid and 4-acrylooxybenzophenone) in the presence of radical photoinitiator and different amount of tetrabromomethane (CBr4) as telogen. The effect of telogen content on UV-telomerization kinetics as well as physicochemical and thermal (Tg) properties of FARs was investigated. A telogen content higher than 5 wt. parts does not affect the UV-telomerization rate (photo-DSC), the molecular weights of telomers (GPC), or their glass transition temperature (DSC), but it significantly increases the conversion of monomers (up to 88%) and lowers the viscosity of FARs (approx. 6 Pa·s). NMR studies confirmed the inclusion of CBr4 in the structure of functional acrylic telomers.
