In order to obtain a new photoinitiator with high efficiency, low migration, and high solubility in acrylate monomers, a new compound named 9‐allyl‐9H‐carbazol‐3‐yldipenylphosphine oxide (ALPO) was designed and synthesized. Compared to 9‐ethyl‐9H‐carbazol‐3‐yldipenylphosphine oxide, the double bond conversion (DC) and solubility of ALPO in acrylic monomers were greatly improved, and the migration rate was greatly reduced after replacing the ethyl group in the molecule with an allyl group. Compared with (2,4,6‐trimethylbenzoyl) diphenylphosphine oxide (TPO), which was widely used commercially, ALPO had a higher DC and lower migration rate. This means that ALPO may be able to replace TPO in the light curing field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
