Description
The invention relates to copolymers which contain siloxane units which are crosslinkable as a result of the action of a photosensitive cationic catalyst such as salts of sulfonium or iodonium. These siloxane units contain a lateral peripheral vinyl ether group connected by a bridge group to a silicon atom, this bridge group having the structure of an aliphatic or aromatic urethane. The substituent groups on the siloxane, which carries peripheral vinyl ether, have the structure of trimethylene urethane-2-ethyl vinyl ether, trimethylene-m-toluenediurethane vinyl ether or 3-thia-1,5-pentanediyl-m-toluenediurethane vinyl ether, as nonlimiting examples.
The vinyl ether group unit alternates along the polysiloxane chain with dimethylsiloxane or methylphenylsiloxane or alkylfluoralkylsiloxane units, or tetraalkyl-alpha,omega-fluoroalkylenedisilaoxane units, or polymer sequences thereof. Said fluoroalkyl or alpha,omega-fluoralkylene group can be obtained by telomerization of tetrafluoroethylene. The proposed silocones can be, for example, crosslinked in the presence or absence of air by conventional irradiation using a mercury vapor lamp or in the presence of salts of sulfonium or iodonium, such as hexafluoroantimonate of triphenylsulfonium. The films of crosslinked polymers are characterized by hydrophobic-oleophobic properties and by antiadhesive properties as well as by good heat resistance and they are useful as protecting insulation layers or as antiadhesive products for paper.
These properties are particularly pronounced when the structure contains fluoroalkyl or fluoroalkylene groups. The antiadhesive property with respect to strong adhesive ribbons is particularly effective at high temperature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The polyorganosiloxanes prepared using the present organosilicon compounds as at least a part of the organosilicon reactants have a high thermochemical resistance and low surface energy values, which are particularly improved when their structure contains fluorinated groups.
Telomers of Tetrafluoroethylene
One class of the radicals attached to silicon according to the invention is prepared from fluorinated telomers of tetrafluoroethylene.
A preferred method for the preparation of telomers of TFE consists of a radical telomerization of TFE.
The telomerization of TFE can be initiated by telogens substituted with bromine or iodine, represented by the formula R.sub.f X or XR'.sub.f X, where R.sub.f and R'.sub.f are as defined above in the present description, and X is bromine or iodine. These telogens belong to a class which includes, without being limited to, CF.sub.3 I, C.sub.2 F.sub.5 I, n- or iso-C.sub.3 F.sub.7 I, n-C.sub.4 F.sub.9 I, C.sub.2 F.sub.5 Br, CF.sub.3 CFBrCF.sub.2 Br, CF.sub.2 Br.sub.2, CF.sub.2 ICF.sub.2 I, I(C.sub.2 F.sub.4).sub.n I (n=2 to 10).
The telomers prepared from monobrominated or monoiodated telogens above are attached to a silicon atom by nonhalogenated alkylene radicals containing 2, 3, 4 carbon atoms, and using the methods described in the following paragraphs, to prepare the siloxanes represented by formula I.
The telogens which contain two reactive halogen atoms, iodine or bromine, produce alpha,omega-telochelating telomers which can be attached to two different silicon atoms by means of nonhalogenated linear alkylene radicals with 2, 3, 4 carbon atoms to produce fluorinated polysiloxane. To obtain the linear structure and the absence of extensive crosslinking which characterize the present organosilicon compounds, the synthesis must be organized appropriately with regard to the subsequent series of reactions of appropriate silanes with telochelating dihalotelomers and with monoiodo- and/or monobromotelomers, or with the other compounds described here.
The process of telomerization of TFE initiated by said telogens according to the present invention can be activated by heat or gamma irradiation, or ultraviolet irradiation, of initiators of the organic peroxide type or of redox systems. Preferred catalysts for these reactions are benzoyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, t-butyl peroxypivalate, and percarbonates.
The reaction can be conducted in the presence of organic solvents including, without being limited to, 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluorethane, t-butyl alcohol, acetonitrile and mixtures thereof. Catalysts such as redox systems with persulfate can also be included, and the telomerization can be carried out in an aqueous dispersion.
The telomerization temperature is between room temperature and 150.degree. C., if the process is activated by irradiation or by catalysts, or between 150.degree. C. and 220.degree. C. if the process is activated thermally.
The pressure at which the reaction is conducted can range from atmospheric pressure to approximately 100 atmospheres, and one should take care to exclude oxygen from the telomerization reaction.
The fluorinated telomers are then attached to the silicon atoms of the present compounds through the intermediary of an alkylene radical without halogen consisting of 2, 3, or 4 carbon atoms, such as the dimethylene or trimethylene or tetramethylene radicals, according to a chain termination process which is carried out appropriately. Ethylene is a reactant which can be used easily in the chain termination reaction.
When they are correctly attached to the silicon as described above, the telomer chain imparts to the final fluorinated organosilicon compound high levels of chemical and thermal resistance and of antiadhesive properties.
Oligomers of Cyclic Fluorinated Ethers (Oxetanes and Oxiranes)
Intermediate oligomer fluorinated polyoxaalkylenes according to the present invention can be prepared using well known methods for the oligomerization of polyfluorooxiranes or fluorooxetanes such as perfluoropropene oxide, 2,2,3,3-tetrafluorooxetane and 3,3,3-trifluoropropene oxide. Some of these oligomers are available commercially.
According to a preferred method, the preferred oligomer polyoxaalkylenes are prepared by reacting cesium fluoride or potassium fluoride with perfluorinated carbonyl compounds such as hexafluoroacetone, trifluoroacetyl fluoride, perfluoropropionyl fluoride, carbonyl fluoride, perfluorosuccinyl or 1,5-oxaperfluoroglutaryl fluorides which can initiate the oligomerization of perfluorooxiranes and fluorooxitanes according to a known method.
The perfluorinated polyoxaalkylenecarbonyl fluoride must be reacted to form appropriate intermediate compounds which can be attached to the silicon. A preferred method consists of stoichiometric addition of potassium and subsequent substitution with allyl bromide to produce oligomer fluorinated polyoxaalkylenes terminated by allyl groups, which are then made to react with a reactive organohydrosilane.
Another pathway to attach the present oligomer fluorinated polyoxaalkylenes to the silicon atom is the metathesis of the fluoride groups of carbonyl acid terminals of these oligomers to methyl esters followed by a reduction to methanol radicals, followed by terminal capping with allyl bromide using the known Williamson synthesis.
Reaction of Fluorinated Telomers and Fluorinated Oligomers to Form Reactive Fluorinated Organosilicon Compounds
Fluorinated telomers which are terminated by one or two (XC.sub.k H.sub.2k)--where X is bromine or iodine can be converted to an organometallic derivative such as a Grignard reagent, a copper Grignard reagent, an organic lithium, zinc, or aluminum compound, and they can then be reacted with the silane which contains at least one halogen such as fluorine, chlorine or bromine, and at least one alcoholate group. The organometallic compound can be prepared beforehand or it can be formed in the presence of the silane.
As a variant, the alpha-iodo or alpha-bromo terminal group of the telomer fluoroalkane terminated by a polymethylene group, or the analog of the telechelic alpha,omega-diiodo- or- dibromo-or -bromoiodopolymethylenepolyfluoroalkane which may be dehydrohalogenated to present, respectively, one or two terminal vinyl groups which can be reacted in a hydrosilylation reaction with silanes which contain at least one hydrogen atom connected to the silicon atom. The reaction is catalyzed by organic peroxides and platinum catalysts.
In the case of silanes with formula II, in addition to two atoms or groups required to react with the above-mentioned derivatives of fluorinated telomers and oligomers or other groups, the silanes, after the reaction with the telomers and monofunctional oligomers or with other groups, contain two reactive entities "X" as in formula II which can then be made to react with other silanes to form the sequence of polysiloxane. These two reactive entities include, without being limited to, halogens such as chlorine, alkoxy groups containing 1 to 4, or more than 4 carbon atoms, the hydroxyl group and primary or secondary amino groups.
In the case of formula III, the silanes which are reacted with bifunctional derivatives of telomers or oligomers, or with other groups, and with the monofunctional derivatives of telomers or oligomers or with other groups, require one of the above-mentioned reactive entities on each of the two telochelating silicon atoms present at the end of the molecule represented by formula III. These reactive entities X can then be reacted with other silanes to form an alongated chain structure as mentioned above and represented by formula I.
The units V, W, Y, Z which have the structures represented in formula I can be homopolycondensed appropriately separately to form a homogenous or copolycondensed sequence with statistical sequences according to the useful techniques in silicon chemistry which are well known to the expert in the field.
The crosslinking of said copolymer silicones of formula I which contain a lateral peripheral vinyl ether group is carried out by activation with UV light in the presence of cationic photoinitiators selected from the group of salts of halonium or sulfonium or phosphonium, with the preferred photoinitiators being of the triarylsulfonium hexafluouroantimonate type.
One of the techniques proposed in the invention follows pathways (a) and (b). The intermediate 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether is prepared from 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether (Aldrich) using a phase-transfer reaction with sodium acetate, and hydrolysis under mild conditions with KCN. The monoisocyanato-m-tolylurethaneethylene-2-vinyl ether intermediate (1) is prepared by condensation of tolyl diisocyanate and 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether as described in European Patent Application No. 0 398 775, filed Nov. 22, 1990. Next, (1) is reacted with a polysiloxane having the structure (2):
to yield the product (3) which contains the peripheral vinyl ether group with the following formula:
Product (3) is then applied in the form of a film onto paper and crosslinked in the presence of triarylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate to obtain an antiadhesive coating on the paper.
According to a variant of the same general technique, triethoxysilane-3-propylurethane-2-ethyl vinyl ether (prepared by condensation catalyzed by dibutyl tin dilaurate of 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether with 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane) was subjected to polycondensation with a polydimethylsiloxanediol in the presence of dimethylphenylchlorosilane as chain termination agent. A product (4) with the following structure was obtained:
where R=C.sub.3 H.sub.6 NHCOOC.sub.2 H.sub.4 OCH.dbd.CH.sub.2.
After application to paper, this product (4), in the presence of triarylsulfonium salt, was crosslinked by a short exposure to UV light yielding a paper with antiadhesive properties.
According to a different technique, a polymethylvinylsiloxane was reacted with thioethyleneglycol to produce a sil-2-thio-4-hydroxy unit which was reacted with isocyanatotolylurethane-2-ethyl vinyl ether to obtain a silanoxy group with the structure (5). ##STR2## The modified polysiloxane which contains peripheral vinyl ether was activated for crosslinking by UV light in the presence of sulfonium salt.

EXAMPLE 11
Use of Polymers According to the Invention for the Production of Crosslinked Coatings with Antiadhesive Properties
Coating compositions were prepared by dissolving a polymer according to the invention, and a photosensitive catalyst in a solvent in the proportions indicated in the table below, and these compositions were applied to kraft paper using a manual applicator consisting of a threaded rod, in quantities indicated in said table (in g/m.sup.2). The applied coat was crosslinked by exposure to a UV lamp (80 W/cm.sup.2) for the time indicated in the table. In all cases a paper with antiadhesive properties was obtained from which adhesive ribbons could be removed easily. In addition, there was no trace of migration, from the antiadhesive film of the silicon polymer of the invention to the adhesive ribbon, because the latter remained capable of adhering to itself. These antiadhesive properties were preserved even after storage for 24 hours of the treated papers in an oven at 60.degree. C.
