Abstract

The present disclosure is related to a hydrophilic monomer, comprising (i) at least one amino moiety; (ii) at least one polyoxyalkylene unit; and (iii) at least one (meth)acrylate moiety.

Claims (27)

1 . A hydrophilic monomer, comprising

(i) at least one amino moiety;

(ii) at least one polyoxyalkylene unit; and

(iii) at least one acrylate moiety,

wherein at least one amino moiety is at least one secondary amino moiety and/or at least two tertiary amino moieties.

2 . The hydrophilic monomer according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one polyoxyalkylene unit is selected from polyethers.

3 . The hydrophilic monomer according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer comprises one secondary amino moiety, two secondary amino moieties, three secondary amino moieties, or four secondary amino moieties.

4 . The hydrophilic monomer according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer comprises one tertiary amino moiety, two tertiary amino moieties, three tertiary amino moieties, or four tertiary amino moieties.

5 . The hydrophilic monomer according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer comprises acrylate moieties in an amount of from 1 to 10.

6 . The hydrophilic monomer according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer is a monomer according to any one of formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VI), (VII), or (VIII)

wherein R is a linear or branched alkyl or alkoxy,

wherein m an n may be different or the same,

wherein m and n may each be in a range of from 1 to 100.

7 . The hydrophilic monomer according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer is a monomer according to any one of formulae (IX to XIV) (XI to XIV)

wherein R is a linear or branched alkyl or alkoxy,

wherein m an n may be different or the same,

wherein m and n may each be in a range of from 1 to 100;

wherein x, y, z may be different or the same,

wherein x, y, z may be each in a range of from 1 to 100.

8 . The hydrophilic monomer according to claim 1 , obtained from reacting at least one polyoxyalkylamine with at least one acrylate compound.

9 . The hydrophilic monomer according to claim 8 , wherein the polyoxyalkylmine is a polyetherdiamine comprising ethoxy-units and propyloxy-units.

10 . The hydrophilic monomer according to claim 9 , wherein the ratio of ethoxy-units to propyloxy-units EO:PO is in the range of from 1 to 20.

11 . A process for producing a hydrophilic monomer, comprising reacting at least one polyoxyalkylamine with at least one acrylate compound; wherein the hydrophilic monomer comprises (i) at least one amino moiety; (ii) at least one polyoxyalkyene unit; and (iii) at least one acrylate moiety, wherein the at least one amino moiety isa at least one secondary amino moiety and/or at least two tertiary amino moieties.

12 . The process according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one polyoxyalkylamine is selected from polyetheramines.

13 . The process according to claim 11 , wherein the polyoxyalkylamine exhibits a molecular weight in the range of from 80 g/mol to 8000 g/mol.

14 . Coating obtained from the hydrophilic monomer according to claim 1 by coating hydrophilic monomer onto a substrate and curing the coating by actinic irradiation.

15 . The hydrophilic monomer according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one acrylate compound is selected from alkyldiacrylates, alkyltriacrylates, alkyltetraacrylates, alkylpentaacrylates, alkyl hexaacrylates, polyethylene glycol diacrylates, ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylates, and trimethylolpropane triacrylate.
