Description
CURABLE COMPOSITIONS PREPARED FROM MULTIFUNCTIONAL AND HYBRID N-VINYLFORMAMIDE COMPOUNDS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] This invention relates to a curable composition comprising an N-viπylformamide compound and an initiator.
[0002] N-vinylamides are eiectron rich monomers, of which commonly known cyclic N- vinylamides are N-vinylpyrrolidinone (NVP) and N-vinyl-caprolactam (NVCL), and commonly known acyclic N-vinylamides are N-vinylacetamide (NVA) and N-vinylformamide (NVF).
[0003] The structures for these compounds are depicted here:
[0004] The synthesis of N-vinylamides can be accomplished through the vinylation reaction of amide through addition to acetylene, or through a trans-vinylation reaction with vinyl ether or vinyl acetate. N-vinylamides can also be prepared by cracking a vinylamide precursor. The synthesis of multifunctional N-vinylamide derivatives can proceed through a C-alkylation reaction using a lithium base, or through the use of an N-alkylation reaction requiring the use of NaH, which is typically not preferred in industrial manufacturing environments. In another method, NVA can be de-protonated by NaOH in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst to create difunctional monomers that can be used to make polymers with cyclic backbones. Michael addition of N-vinylformamides to acrylonitrϋe and to acrylates and methacrylates has been used for the synthesis of N-cyanoethyl-N-vinyl-formamide and 3-(N-vinylformamido)propionates, respectively. In both cases, the synthesis was focused on monofunctional substituted N-
vinylamides. The synthetic routes disclosed above relate to either multifunctional N-vinyl- acetamide or N-vinylpyrrolidoπe, or to monofuπctional N-vinylformamides.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] This invention is a curable composition comprising a multi-functional N-vinylformamide compound and/or a hybrid N-vinylformamide compound; an initiator; optionally, an additional compound (which additional compound can be a monomer, oligomer, or polymer) reactive with the multi-functional or hybrid N-vinylformamide compound; and optionally, a filler.
[0007] The multi-functional N-vinylformamide compounds are prepared through an alkylation reaction between an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon having one or more leaving groups and N-vinylformamide monomer (the monomer starting material, hereinafter "NVF"), employing a base, such as cesium carbonate or potassium t-butoxide, to deprotonate the hydrogen atom bonded to the nitrogen atom on NVF. Other strong bases can be used in this process.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] As used in this specification and the claims, a multifunctional N-vinylformamide compound means a compound having at least two N-vinylformamide functionalities and no other reactive functionalities, and a hybrid N-vinylformamide compound means a compound having at least one N-vinylformamide functionality and at least one other reactive functionality. A reactive functionality is one that can react and form a covalent bond with another chemical functionality. In one embodiment, the other reactive functionality is selected from the group consisting of acrylate, methacrylate, cyanoacrylate, maleimide, cinnamyl, maleate, fumarate, epoxy, oxetane, silane, styrenic, benzoxazine, oxazoline, vinyl ester, vinyl ether, and combinations of these.
[0009] The process for the synthesis of the multifunctional N-vinylformamide compounds and the hybrid N-vinylformamide compounds uses an alkylation procedure in which N-vinylformamide is substituted for a leaving group on an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon employing either cesium carbonate or potassium t-butoxide as a base to deprotonate the hydrogen atom
from the nitrogen atom in the starting NVF. Leaving groups well known to those skilled in the art include, but are not limited to, halides, mesylates, and tosylates. The amount of Cs2CO3 or KO Bu used will be sufficient to generate an equimolar amount of nucleophile (after deprotonation of the NVF) to the electrophile (leaving group). In the absence of an excess of NVF1 this amount would be equimolar to the amount of NVF. When an excess of NVF is used, the amount of Cs2CO3 or KO1Bu will be less than an equimolar amount to the NVF. The choice of such stoichiometry is within the expertise of those skilled in the art.
[0010] The synthetic reaction for a multifunctional N-viπylformamide compound proceeds according to the scheme:
in which n is 2 to 100; Y is an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon (including those with heteroatoms); and L is a leaving group. In various embodiments, n is 2 to 25, n is 2 to 10, and n is 2 to 5. The L leaving group is substituted according to well-known reactions for the hydroxy! group on the starting compound, and the resulting compound reacted with an excess of N-vinyl formamide in the presence Of Cs2CO3 or KO Bu to form the multifunctional N-vinylformamide compound. Typical reaction conditions are those disclosed in the examples.
[0011] An alternative process for the synthesis of the multifunctional N-vinylformamide compound having at least two N-vinylformamide functionalities comprises reacting an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon having at least one leaving group and at least one N-vinyl-formamide functionality with NVF in the presence of Cs2CO3 or KO1Bu.
[0012] This alternative process is also the process used for the synthesis of the hybrid N-vinylformamide compound. In the hybrid case the reaction proceeds according to the following scheme, in which L and Y are same as described above, and X is a reactive functionality A halide, mesylate or tosylate leaving group is substituted for the hydroxyl group on the starting compound using typical reactions known in the art, and the resulting compound reacted with N- vinyl formamide in the presence of Cs2CO3 or KO1Bu:
is 1 to 5
[0013] The X reactive functionality is selected from the group consisting of acrylate, methacrylate, cyanoacrylate, maieimide, cinnamyl, maleate, fumarate, epoxy, oxetane, silane, styrenic, benzoxazine, oxazoline, vinyl ester, vinyl ether, and combinations of these Typical reaction conditions are those disclosed in the examples
[0014] For all of the hybrid N-vinylformamide compounds, each X on the compound can be the same or different, each L on the compound can be the same or different
[0015] In the above reaction schemes, the conversion of the hydroxyl functionality to a leaving group is known in the art and not part of the inventive process
[0016] Initiators for curable compositions containing N-vinylformamide compounds are compounds that can produce radical or cationic initiating species, when triggered by heat (thermal initiators) or electromagnetic radiation (photoinitiators) The initiator will be present in an amount of 0 01 to 10% by weight of the total resin

[0052] EXAMPLE 8. THERMALLY INITIATED COPOLYMERIZATION OF N-VJNYLFORMAMIDE WITH MALEIMIDE OR ACRYLATE
[0053] This example shows that good reactivity can be obtained between N-vinylformamide I (from example 1) and acrylates and between N-vinylformamide Il (from example 2) and maleimides in copolymerization reactions. Peroxide and azo radical initiators were screened in the copolymerization of two N-vinylformamide compounds with acrylate 1 (Sartomer) and a maleimide resin BMI-1. The structures of the compounds copolymerized were the following:
I in which C3e is a linear or branched chain hydrocarbon, with or without cyclic moieties, having 36 carbon atoms
Acrylate 1 and
BMI-1 in which C36 is a linear or branched chain hydrocarbon, with or without a cyclic moieties, having 36 carbon atoms
[0054] The Acrylate 1 and BMI-1 were independently cured with either N-vinylformamide I or El using either a peroxide (1, 1-dι-(tert-amylperoxy)-cyciohexane USP 90MD at 2mol%) or an azo initiator (VAZO-52 (Dupont) or PERKADOX-16 (Akzo Nobel) at 2mol%) In all the resin systems tested, the measured total exotherm of the combined system exceeded the sum of exotherm contributions from each individual resin's homo-polymerization For example in entry 3, if Acrylate 1 and N-vinylformamide Il polymerized independently to give two homo-polymers, we would expect to see a total exotherm of roughly 176 5 J/g, of which 170 J/g came from Acrylate 1 and 6 5 J/g from N-vinylformamide Il The fact that entry 3 resulted in 407 J/g exotherm
indicates that copolymerizatioπ has occurred. Attempts to perform the copoiymerization of acrylate and N-vinyiformamide Il with other low temperature peroxide initiators such as PERKADOX-16 (Akzo Nobel) gave low conversions (ΔH = 57J/g, entry 5). This indicates that the copoiymerization efficacy of N-vinyi-formamides is initiator specific. The copoiymerization of Acrylate 1 and N-vinylformamide Il with an azo initiator showed a fast cure profile with a cure temperature of 1060C (ΔH = 381 J/g, entry 2). With 1 , 1-di-(tert-amyiperoxy) cyclohexane as initiator both N-vinylformamides I and Il co-cured with the Acrylate 1 to give peak temperatures of 1290C and 1350C1 respectively {entries 1 and 3, see below). A similar curing behavior was observed with the BM1-1 (entry 4). The cure profile of Acrylate 1 and N-vinylformamide Il (flexible backbone) (Figure 1 ) was especially sharp, indicating that this system may have potential for low temperature snap cure with low temperature initiators (For snap cure, the temperature difference from onset to Tpeak should be <10°C at ten degrees per minute as measured on a DSC. In examples 2 and 3, onset to Tpeak = 7°C).
[0055]
[0056] EXAMPLE 10. PHOTOINITIATED COPOLYMERIZATION OF N-VINYLFORMAMIDE WITH MALEIMIDE OR ACRYLATE
[0057] N-Viπylformamide II (shown above) was investigated as a co-monomer in the photopolymeπzatioπ of maleimide or acrylate monomers. Curing studies were conducted on a
Perkiπ-Elmer Diamond DSC equipped with an EXFO Omnicure Series 2000 UV spot cure unit with light intensity output set at 5.2 mW/cm2. For all the studies, 2.5 wt% DAROCUΓ 4265 (Ciba Specialty Chemicals) was added as a photoinitiator. The diacrylate used was hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA, Aldrich) and the maleimide used was BMI-1 (shown above).
[0058] The copolymerization results of N-vinylformamide Il with HDDA are reported below and shown in the DSC curve in Figure 2. The total exotherm of the 1 :1 HDDA : N-vinyiamide If blend was 305 J/g, exceeding the sum of exotherm contributions (calculated to be 170 J/g) from each individual resin's homo-polymerization under the same conditions (321 J/g for HDDA and 19 J/g for II), indicating that copolymerization has occurred.
[0059] Photopolymerization studies were also conducted on the N-vinylformamide N and BMI-1 resins (Figure 3). BMI-1, 3:1 BMI-1: N-vinylformamide Il blend, and N-vinylformamide Il were each cured with 2.5 wt% DAROCUR 4265 (Ciba Specialty Chemicals). The addition of N- vi nylform amide compounds to the BMI-1 system improved the cure speed, judging by the cure speed (as indicated by shorter Time to Exotherm Peak) and cure exotherm.
[0060] EXAMPLE 11. EFFECT OF OXYGEN ON CURSNG OF ACRYLATE VERSUS BMJ/N-
VlNYLFORMAMIDE SYSTEM
[0061] HDDA and 3:1 BMI-1: N-vinylformamide Il blend samples used in EXAMPLE 10 were cured in air to study the effect of oxygen. PhotoDSC results revealed that the curing of the acrylate and HDDA was significantly delayed in the presence of the oxygen in the air; that is, the
time needed to reach the exotherm peak more than quadrupled in the presence of air compared to the time needed to reach the exotherm peak under nitrogen. In the case of the composition containing a 3:1 molar ratio of BMI-1 to N-vinylformamide II, the time to curing peak roughly doubled. The time needed to reach 90% of the total curing exotherm, doubled in the case of HDDA, but increased only 21% for the BMI-1 and N-vinyl formamide Il system, when curing was switched from nitrogen to air. (The 3:1 molar ratio was arbitrarily chosen to prove the effect. No study was conducted for an optimized ratio.)

[0062] EXAMPLE 12. EFFECT OF N-VINYLFORMAMIDE ON MOISTURE UPTAKE OF MALEIMIDE RESINS
[0063] This example shows the comparison of moisture uptake of cured BMI-2 and a mixture of BMI-2 and N-viπylformamide I (1:1 by weight, oven cured at 1750C for 30 minutes using 2wt% USP 90MD as the initiator) under 85°C/85% relative humidity exposure. Cured BMI-2 showed a 1.67% uptake of moisture upon 85°C/85 relative humidity exposure, while a 1:1 mixture (by weight) of BMI-2 and N-vinylformamide I showed a 30% reduction in moisture uptake upon exposure to similar conditions (1.15%).
[0064] EXAMPLE 13. STABILITY COMPARISON OF MALEIMIDE FORMULATIONS CONTAINING DIFFERENT ELECTRON-RICH VINYL MONOMERS
[0065] The effect of the addition of electron-rich N-vinylformamide compounds to electron-
deficient maleimide or acrylate resin systems was compared to the effect of the addition of a styτene compound to the same electron-deficient maleimide or acrylate resins system with respect to the resin system's worklife stability. The comparison study indicated that the addition of an N-vinylformamide compound to an electron-deficient monomer provides superior worklife, that is, a longer time to gelation, compared to the addition of a styrenic compound to the same eiectron-deficient monomer. Both systems were studied in the presence of the radical initiator VAZO-52 {10 hour half life 52°C and the time to gelation recorded. Entry 1 , a mixture of Acrylate 1 with N-vinylformamide Il showed a time to gelation of approximately 12 hours under degassed conditions. In contrast, the Acrylate 1-Distyrene 1 system (entry 2) showed a time to gelation of approximately six hours under degassed conditions.
