Preparation and characterization of novel photoinitiator organically-modified MMT and its EA/MMT UV-cured nanocomposites was written by Chen, Baiqiu;Zang, Yangling;Liu, Guangpeng;Xu, Weijian. And the article was included in Jingxi Huagong Zhongjianti in 2008.Category: benzofurans This article mentions the following:
The EA/MMT UV-cured nanocomposites were prepared using modified clays and epoxy resin via intra-gallery UV-curing polymerization, and the organic modified clays were used as the only photoinitiator. The organic modified clays were modified by novel long-chain type quaternary ammonium salt photoinitiator benzoylbenzyl-N,N-dimethyl-N-octadecylammonium bromide, which was synthesized by the reaction of 4-bromomethyl benzophenone with octadecyl di-Me amine. The morphol. of the UV-cured EA/MMT nanocomposites prepared from this organically-modified MMT has been studied using XRD and TEM, and the results have shown an intercalated structure with partially exfoliation for all the samples. Exptl. results from TGA and mech. property testing have also indicated that the thermal and mech. properties of UV-cured nanocomposites were significantly enhanced. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,2-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-ol (cas: 1563-38-8Category: benzofurans).
2,2-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-ol (cas: 1563-38-8) belongs to benzofurans derivatives. Benzofurans are only weakly aromatic in nature and they are cleaved by many oxidative and reductive conditions. They are also prone to polymerisation in the presence of concentrated mineral acids and Lewis acids.Category: benzofurans
