Abstract

Here we show the effect of the ionic liquid nature, its content and monomer/crosslinker ratio on the copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) with triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) induced by UV or heat irradiation. For the first time, kinetics curves of photopolymerization NVP with TEGDMA in the presence of ionic liquids are obtained. The ionic liquids EmimBF4, BmimBF4, OmimBF4 and EmimTFSI with different cation and anion structures and lengths of the alkyl radical were varied in photopolymer compositions. To understand the influence of ionic liquids on the polymerization kinetics, photo-DSC, dynamic DSC, and FTIR were performed. Parameters obtained from photo-DSC curves allowed to develop the methodology for the stereolithography of ionogels. The presented data constitutes the complete dataset useful for 3D-printing of ionogels with high accuracy, which is reported in the main article.
