Thermal analysis of photocurable materials

抄録

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Photocurable materials such as photoresists, UV‐curable inks and paints, etc., can be analyzed by a variety of techniques. Commonly, these analyses are performed in a discontinuous mode, i.e., samples are exposed to light for varying times and subsequently they are subjected to analysis. Rates of reaction, conversion, etc., are determined from the residual functionalities; in the case of differential scanning calorimetry, these parameters are derived from the residual heat of reaction. In order to determine “photo speed” or sensitivity, a number of exposures of varying duration are necessary to obtain rates of reaction. By combining an exposure unit with a differential scanning calorimeter, the photoreaction can now he observed <jats:italic>in situ</jats:italic>. Determination of speed or rate of reaction is reduced to a single experiment. As a consequence, effects of wavelength, intensity, temperature, and environment are quickly examined as is demonstrated here for a photoresist. During the second scan residual exotherms can be used to determine reaction extend or formation of new thermally active products. Conversion may be limited if T<jats:sub>g</jats:sub> rises during polymerization to exceed exposure temperatures. In addition, the formation of inaccessable functionalities has to be accounted for during evaluation.</jats:p>
