The process is activated by actinic radiation and is conducted in the presence of a platinum complex having one diolefin group that is eta-bonded to the platinum atom and two aryl groups that are sigma-bonded to the platinum atom and a free-radical photoinitiator that is capable of absorbing actinic radiation such that the hydrosilation reaction is initiated upon exposure to actinic radiation. The invention also provides compositions for use in the aforementioned process.

Description: Radiation activated hydrosilation reaction Background of the Invention 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a hydrosilation process involving the reaction of a compound containing silicon-bonded hydrogen with a compound containing aliphatic unsaturation in the presence of ultraviolet or visible radiation, and to compositions that are useful in that process. The invention further relates to polysiloxane compositions, prepared by said process, which compositions are useful for preparing dental impressions, adhesives, release liners, and caulking materials. 2. Discussion of the Art Numerous patents teach the use of various complexes of cobalt, rhodium, nickel, palladium, or platinum as catalysts for accelerating the thermally-activated addition reaction (hydrosilation) between a compound containing silicon-bonded hydrogen and a compound containing aliphatic unsaturation. For example, U.S. Patent No. 4,288,345 (Ashby et al) discloses as a catalyst for hydrosilation reactions a platinum-siloxane complex. U.S. Patent No. 3,470,225 (Knorre et al) discloses production of organic silicon compounds by addition of a compound containing silicon-bonded hydrogen to organic compounds containing at least one non-aromatic double or triple carbon-to-carbon bond using a platinum compound of the empirical formula PtX 2 (RCOCR'COR") 2 wherein X is halogen, R is alkyl, R' is hydrogen or alkyl, and R" is alkyl or alkoxy. The catalysts disclosed in the foregoing patents are characterized by their high catalytic activity. Other platinum complexes for accelerating the aforementioned thermally-activated addition reaction include: a • platinacyclobutane complex having the formula (PtCl 2 -C 3 H 6 ) 2 (U.S. Patent No. 3,159,662, Ashby); a complex of a platinous salt and an olefin (U.S. Patent No. 3,178,464, Pierpoint); a platinum-containing complex prepared by reacting chloroplatinic acid with an alcohol, ether, aldehyde, or mixtures thereof (U.S. Patent No. 3,220,972, amoreaux); a platinum compound selected from trimethylplatinu iodide and hexamethyldiplatinu (U.S. Patent No. 3,313,773, Lamoreaux); a hydrocarbyl or halohydrocarbyl nitrile-platinum (II) halide complex (U.S. Patent No. 3,410,886, Joy); a hexamethyl-dipyridine- diplatinum iodide (U.S. Patent No. 3,567,755, Seyfried et al); a platinum curing catalyst obtained from the reaction of chloroplatinic acid and a ketone having up to 15 carbon atoms (U.S. Patent No. 3,814,731, Nitzsche et al); a platinum compound having the general formula (R')PtX 2 where R' is a cyclic hydrocarbon radical or substituted cyclic hydrocarbon radical having two aliphatic carbon-carbon double bonds, and X is a halogen or alkyl radical (U.S. Patent No. 4,276,252, Kreis et al); platinum alkyne complexes (U.S. Patent No. 4,603,215, Chandra et al.); platinum alkenylcyclohexene complexes (U.S. Patent No. 4,699,813, Cavezzan); and a colloidal hydrosilation. catalyst provided by the reaction between a silicon hydride or a siloxane hydride and a platinum (0) or platinum (II) complex (U.S. Patent No. 4,705,765, Lewis). Although these platinum complexes and many others are useful as catalysts in processes for accelerating the thermally-activated addition reaction between the compounds containing silicon-bonded hydrogen and compounds containing aliphatic unsaturation, processes for promoting the ultraviolet or visible radiation-activated addition reaction between these compounds are much less common. Platinum complexes that can be used to initiate ultraviolet radiation-activated hydrosilation reactions have been disclosed, e.g., platinum, azo complexes (U.S. Patent No. 4,670,531, Eckberg); (t) 4 -cyclooctadiene)diarylplatinum complexes (U.S. Patent No. 4,530,879, Drahnak); and (f| 5 -cyclopentadienyl)trialkylplatinum complexes (U.S. Patent No. 4,510,094, Drahnak). Other compositions that are curable by ultraviolet radiation include those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,640,939 and 4,712,092 and in European Patent Application No. 0238033. However, these patents do not indicate that the platinum complexes disclosed therein would be useful for initiating a visibl radiation-activated hydrosilation reaction. U.S. Patent No. 4,916,169 discloses hydrosilation reactions activated by visible radiation. Summary of the Invention In one aspect, this invention provides an improved process for the actinic radiation-activated addition reaction of a compound containing silicon-bonded hydrogen with a compound containing aliphatic unsaturation, said addition being referred to as hydrosilation, the improvement comprising using, as a platinum hydrosilation catalyst, an (n-diolefin) ( σ-aryl)platinum complex, and as a reaction accelerator, a free-radical photoinitiator capable of absorbing actinic radiation, i.e., light having a wavelength ranging from about 200 nm to about 800 nm. The process can also employ, as a sensitizer, a compound that absorbs actinic radiation and that is capable of transferring energy to the aforementioned platinum complex or platinum complex/free-radical photoinitiator combination such that the hydrosilation reaction is initiated upon exposure to actinic radiation. The process is applicable both to the synthesis of low molecular weight compounds and to the curing of high molecular weight compounds, i.e., polymers, containing unsaturated groups, e.g., -C=C-. For example, the process comprises exposing to radiation having a wavelength of about 200 nm to about 800 nm- a composition capable of undergoing hydrosilation comprising: (c) a ( η-diolefin) ( σ-aryl) latinum complex catalyst, such as: ( -l,5-cyclooctadiene)Pt(p-C 6 H 4 CH 3 ) 2 , (d) a free-radical photoinitiator capable of absorbing actinic radiation between 200 and 800 nm, such as: The composition can also contain a sensitizer capable of absorbing actinic radiation having a wavelength of about 200 nm to about 800 nm, such as: The invention further involves novel compositions, capable of undergoing hydrosilation, containing both the aforementioned platinum complex and the aforementioned free-radical photoinitiator. The compositions can also contain the aforementioned εenεitizer. Important applications of the process and compositions of the invention include adhesives, coatings and light curable materials for dental applications, e.g. impressions. Advantages of using the free-radical photoinitiator in the actinic radiation-activated additio reaction of compounds containing silicon-bonded hydrogen with compounds containing aliphatic unsaturation include the unexpected acceleration of the reaction, e.g., about an 85% reduction in reaction time.

The reactant containing the silicon-hydrogen linkage can be a polymeric compound or a compound that is not polymeric. These compounds are well-known in the art and are disclosed in the patents which describe the aliphatically unsaturated reactant, i.e., Ashby, U.S. Patent No. 3,159,662; Lamoreaux, U.S. Patent No. 3,220,972; and Joy, U.S. Patent No. 3,410,886. The reactant containing the silicon-hydrogen linkage should contain at least one silicon-bonded hydrogen atom per molecule, with no more than three hydrogen atoms attached to any one silicon atom. Some claεεeε of compoundε having a εilicon-bonded hydrogen atom which can be uεed in the invention are organoεilaneε having the empirical formula: (H) * 3.Si( v R 17 )'.k ( v X)',(,4 - 3.-.k ).

Preferably, the R 17 group is methyl or both methyl and phenyl. The R 17 group can alεo be an unεaturated aliphatic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, such as alkenyl or cycloalkenyl, e.g., vinyl, allyl and cyclohexenyl. When the R 1 group iε a group with aliphatic unεaturation, the εilicon compound containing εilicon-hydrogen linkageε can be reacted with itεelf to form a polymer. Among the inorganic compoundε which contain silicon-bonded hydrogen atomε and which are useful as reactants in the process of the present invention are included, for example, trichlorosilane, dibromosilane, pentachlorodisilane, pentachlorodiεiloxane, and heptachlorotrisilane. A preferred compound having εilicon-bonded hydrogen useful in this invention is a polyorganohydrosiloxane having the general formula: wherein each ,.1 ~ 8 ° can be the same or different and representε hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group' having 3 to 12 carbon atomε,- or a phenyl group, at leaεt one but not more than one-half of all the R 18 groups in the siloxane being hydrogen, m repreεents 0, 1, 2, or 3, and n representε a number having an average value from 1 to about 3,000. The hydrosilation composition useful in the synthesis of low molecular weight compounds by the procesε of the invention can be prepared by mixing about 0.1 to about 10.0 equivalent weightε of the compound having εilicon-bonded hydrogen with one equivalent weight of the compound having aliphatic unsaturation and then adding an amount of platinum complex catalyst sufficient to catalyze the reaction and an amount of a free-radical photoinitiator εufficient to accelerate the reaction. Optionally, a εenεitizer in an amount sufficient to sensitize the platinum complex/f ee-radical photoinitiator combination upon exposure to actinic radiation having a wavelength from about 200 nm to about 800 nm can also be employed in the composition. The amount of the catalyst can range from about 5 to about 1,000 parts by weight, preferably from about 50 to about 500 parts by weight, per 1,000,000 parts by weight of the total composition. The amount of free-radical photoinitiator can range from about 50 to about 50,000 parts by weight, preferably from about 100 to about 5,000 parts by weight, per 1,000,000 partε by weight of total compoεition. The amount of senεitizer can range from about 50 to about 50,000 partε by weight, preferably from about 100 to about 5,000 partε by weight, per 1,000,000 partε by weight of total composition. Known techniques can be used to conduct the hydrosilation reaction. In carrying out a hydrosilation reaction in the practice of- this invention, the reactants and catalyst can be introduced into a vessel equipped for stirring, where the mixture is εtirred until it iε homogenous. If either of the reactantε iε a εolid or is extremely viscouε, a εolvent can be- introduced into the veεεel to facilitate uniform mixing of the reactantε. Suitable εolvents include aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylene and toluene; aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane and mineral spiritε; and halogenated hydrocarbonε, εuch aε chlorobenzene and trichloroethane. It iε deεirable that the solvent be transmiεεive to actinic radiation. From about 0.1 to about 10 partε of solvent per part by weight of the combined reactants may be used. The resulting reaction product will generally be sufficiently pure for its intended use. However, it may be desirable to remove the solvent if one has been employed. The hydrosilation compositions useful in the preparation of higher molecular weight cured siloxane polymerε, by the proceεs of this invention, can be prepared by mixing an aliphatically unsaturated polysiloxane and the compound having silicon-bonded hydrogen in such a proportion so as to provide about 0.1 to about 10.0 silicon-bonded hydrogen atomε per unsaturated group, and then adding from about 5 to about 1,000 parts by weight, preferably from about 50 to about 500 parts by weight of platinum complex catalyst and from about 50 to about 50,000 parts by weight, preferably from about 100 to about 5,000 partε by weight of a free-radical photoinitiator. Optionally, from about 50 to about 50,000 parts by weight, preferably from about 100 to about 5,000 parts by weight of sensitizer, per 1,000,000 parts by weight of the total composition can be used. The reaction mixture can be mixed, as by stirring, blending, or tumbling, until it is homogenous. The thoroughly mixed composition can then be applied to a εubεtrate by any εuitable means, such as by spraying, dipping, knife coating, curtain coating, roll coating, or the like, and the coating cured by using conventional techniques for providing actinic radiation. It is preferred that curing be conducted by exposing the coated εubεtrate to radiation having a wavelength of about 200 nm to about 800 nm. Depending on the particular εilicone formulation, catalyεt, free-radical •photoinitiator, optional sensitizer, and intensity of the actinic radiation, curing can be accomplished in a period from less than one second to lesε than 30 minuteε. Any radiation εource emitting radiation above about 200 nm can be uεed. Examples of suitable radiation εourceε include tungsten halogen lamps, xenon arc lamps, mercury arc lamps, incandescent lamps, and fluorescent lamps. Particularly preferred sources of actinic radiation are tungsten halogen, xenon arc, and mercury arc lamps. Variouε additiveε conventionally included in hydroεilation compositions can be included in the curable compositionε, depending on the intended purpoεe of the compoεition. Fillers and/or pigments, such as chopped fibers, crushed polymers, talc, clay, titanium dioxide, and fumed silica can be added. Soluble dyeε, oxidation inhibitorε, and/or any material that does not interfere with the catalytic activity of the platinum complex and does not strongly absorb actinic radiation at the absorption wavelength of the free-radical photoinitiator, or of the optional sensitizer, can be added to the composition. The shelf life of the curable compositions containing the catalyst and senεitizer can be extended by the addition of a conventional catalyεt inhibitor. The amount of catalyεt inhibitor can vary from about 1 to about 10 timeε, or more, the amount of platinum complex, depending on the activity of the particular complex or complex-accelerator used and the shelf life desired for the composition. Greater amounts of inhibitor should be used with the more active complexes, with lesser amounts being uεed for the less active complexes. Hydrosilation inhibitors are well known in the art and include such compoundε aε acetylenic alcoholε, certain polyolefinic εiloxaneε, pyridine, acrylonitrile, organic phoεphineε and phoεphiteε, unεaturated amideε, and alkyl maleates. The hydrosilation compoεitionε of thiε invention can be applied to the surface of any solid substrate for variety of purposes. Examples of such substrateε include paper, cardboard, wood, cork, plaεtic, εuch aε polyeεter, nylon, polycarbonate, etc., woven and nonwoven fabric, εuch aε cotton, polyeεter, nylon, etc., metal, glass, and ceramic. It is often advantageous to prime the surface o non-porous substrateε to which the hydrosilation composition is to be applied to improve the adheεion of the composition to the substrate. Many primers and priming techniques (e.g., corona treatment) are described in the art and should be chosen on the baεis of the substrate to be used. For example, the epoxy-functional εiloxanes aε taught in U.S. Patent No. 4,243,718 (Murai e al) are uεeful for priming the εurface of plaεtic films εuch aε polyeεter and polyvinylchloride. Compoεitionε of this invention can be applied and cured in relatively thick sectionε, εuch aε an impreεεion material for dental applications or a faεt-εetting caulking material. Advantages of this invention are further illustrated by the following examples, where the parts referred to are parts by weight. The particular material and amounts recited as well as other conditionε and detailε given should not be conεtrued to unduly limit thi invention. Compositions of this inventionε were evaluated for cure εpeed in the following manner. Molds made from a 1.5 mm thick "Teflon" sheet with a 6 mm diameter hole through the sheet were clamped to clean glasε slides so that the central axis of the hol in the mold was normal to the glaεε slide. The hole was filled with a sample of the- composition being evaluated. A "Visilux" 2 dental curing light (available from Minneεota Mining and Manufacturing Company) with a light output in the visible region of the spectrum between 400 and 500 nm was clamped to a ring stand and positioned suc that the cylindrical tip of the light source waε 5.0 mm •above the top of the "Teflon" mold. The center of the 6 mm diameter sample was directly beneath the light tip. The sample was irradiated with the "Visilux" 2 light until a tack-free, cohesive silicone polymer waε obtained aε determined with a metal probe. Compoεitionε were evaluated for cure εpeed under ultraviolet radiation by placing εmall sampleε of each compoεition in shallow two-inch diameter aluminum pans and irradiating the samples at a distance of 25 cm under a bank of six Sylvania 15 Watt "Black Light" bulbs with a maximum intensity output at 365 nm.

Example 4 Thiε example illuεtrateε the release characteristicε of coatingε prepared with the compoεition of thiε invention. .To a 30.0 g aliquot of the εtock compoεition of Example 1 were added 16 mg of (COD)Pt(p-C 6 H 4 OCH 3 ) 2 (200 ppm Pt), 15 mg of 2-chlorothioxanthone (500 ppm), and 15 mg of "Irgacure" 651 photoinitiator (500 ppm). The compoεition waε coated on εuper calendered Kraft paper at a coating weight of 1 to 2 g/m and cured by irradiation under an atmoεphere of nitrogen in a PPG proceεεor that advanced the sample at a rate of 50 cm/sec under two medium pressure mercury lamps emitting 120 watts of radiation per. centimeter of lamp length and εubεequent heating in a circulating air oven at '100°C for two minuteε. Similarly coated εampleε that were not expoεed to radiation did not cure when heated at 100°C. The releaεe value of the cured εilicone coating waε determined by the following procedure: A heptane-iεopropyl alcohol solution of pressure-εenεitive adheεive comprising isooctyl acrylate (95.5% by weight)-acrylic acid (4.5% by weight) copolymer, aε deεcribed in Example 5 of U.S. Patent No. Re. 24,906, incorporated herein by reference, waε applied to the cured εilicone coating and dried for 5 minuteε at 70°C in a circulating air oven to give a dry coating weight of 32 g/m 2 . A biaxially oriented film of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (38 micrometerε thick) was pressed against the surface of the coating to produce a laminate consisting of a presεure-εenεitive adheεive tape and a εilicone-coated εubεtrate. The laminate waε cut into 2.5 x 25 cm strips. An average value of 15 g per 2.5 cm of width was measured to be the force required to pull the PET film with adhesive attached thereto (i.e., a presεure-εenεitive adheεive tape) away from the εilicone-coated subεtrate at an angle of 180° and a pulling speed of 230 cm/min. The readheεion value of the preεsure-εenεitive tapeε waε determined by the following procedure: The pressure-sensitive tapes, aε removed from the silicone-coated surface, were applied to the surface of a clean glass plate. An average value of 1,400 g per 2.5 cm of width was measured to be the force required to pull the tape from the glass surface at an angle of 180° and a pulling speed of 230 cm/min. A control readheεion value waε obtained for the preεεure-sensitive tape by applying the tape, which had not been placed in contact with a εilicone-coated εurface, to a clean glaεε plate and meaεuring the force required to remove the tape from the • plate. The control readheεion value was 1,500 g per 2.5 cm of width. Example 5 This example illustrates the preparation of a silicone-based preεεure-εenεitive adheεive tape from a compoεition of thiε invention. A mixture of the followin three ingredientε waε prepared: (l) 13.6 g of a dimethylvinylεiloxy endblocked polydimethylεiloxane containing an average of 25.1 dimethylεiloxane unite per molecule; (2) 25.6 g of a dimethylhydrogenεiloxy endblocked polydimethylεiloxane containing an average of 28.7 dimethylεiloxane unitε per molecule; and (3) 100.0 g of a 60% by weight εolution in xylene o a reεinouε organoεiloxane copolymer comprising CH, 3SiO1,/,,2,' SiO5 c / / ,2H and SiO4./.,2 units in a ratio of 41.6 : 10.5 : 47.6. The copolymer exhibited a number average molecular weight, determined b gel permeation chromatography, of about 2600 an a diεperεity index of 2.6. The mixture waε εtripped of volatile material b heating at 65°C under less than 0.5 mm of Hg pressure on rotary evaporator. To the resulting viscouε mixture were added 0.80 g of 1,3,5,7-tetravinyltetramethylcyclotetra- εiloxane, 2.0 g of toluene, 133 mg of (COD)Pt(p-C 8 H 4 OCH 3 ) (500 ppm Pt), 100 mg of 2-chlorothioxanthone (1,000 ppm), and 100 mg of "Irgacure" 651 photoinitiator (1,000 ppm). The compoεition waε knife coated at a thickneεε of 0.05 m on a 0.05 mm thick polyethylene terephthalate film, and the coating waε cured by irradiation under an atmoεphere of nitrogen in a PPG proceεεor that advanced the εample a a rate of 50 cm/εec under two medium preεεure mercury lampε emitting 120 wattε of radiation per centimeter of lamp length and εubεequent heating in a circulating air oven at 100°C for five minutes. Adhesion was determined essentially according to the procedure described in ASTM D-3330 (1983). Strips of the tape 2.54 cm wide and approximately 25 cm long were adhered to a glasε εurface uεing a 2.04 kg rolled weight. An average value of 1,600 g per 2.5 cm of width waε measured to be the force required to pull the adheεive tape away from the glasε εurface at an angle of 180° and a pulling εpeed of 230 cm/min. Shear εtrength waε determined essentially according to the procedure described in ASTM D-3654 (1982). Specimens 1.27 cm wide and approximately 8 cm long were adhered to a bright annealed steel surface with an overlap area of 1.27 cm by 1.27 cm. The sampleε were suspended vertically and maintained at a temperature of 70°C for one hour. A 1 kg weight waε εuεpended from the free end of each εpecimen, and an average of 200 minuteε was measured as the elapsed time before the adhesive bond failed while being maintained at a temperature of 70°C. The test was repeated at room temperature, and an average holding time exceeding 10,000 minutes was meaεured. The tack of the adheεive tape waε meaεured qualitatively by touching the cured adheεive with a finger. Tack was judged to be moderate.

The mixture was transferre to a 50 cc syringe and degassed under reduced pressure f approximately 30 minutes to yield a bubble-free mixture. The compoεition waε applied to an integrated circuit board measuring 2 inches by 2 inches in sufficien quantity to provide a coating approximately 1 mm in thicknesε. The coating waε irradiated with a "Viεilux" 2 light source for approximately 4 minutes to provide a tough, elastomeric, transparent coating that adhered well to the circuit board. Example 7 This example illuεtrateε preparation of a denta impression by means of a visible-light curable wash material and a chemically curable tray material.
