A straight-forward method was exploited to construct a multifunctional hybrid photoinitiator by supporting 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone (HMPP) onto a nano-silica surface through a chemical reaction between silica and HMPP by using (3-isocyanatopropyl)-triethoxysilane (IPTS) as a bridge, and this was noted as silica-s-HMPP. The novel hybrid-photoinitiator can not only initiate the photopolymerization but also prominently improve the dispersion of nanoparticles in the polyurethane acrylate matrix and enhance the filler-elastomer interfacial interaction, which results in excellent mechanical properties of UV-cured nanocomposites. Furthermore, the amount of extractable residual photoinitiators in the UV-cured system of silica-s-HPMM shows a significant decrease compared with the original HPMM system. Since endowing the silica nanoparticle with photo-initiated performance and fairly lower mobility, it may lead to a reduction in environmental contamination compared to traditional photoinitators. In addition, the hybrid-photoinitiator gives rise to an accurate resolution object with a complex construction and favorable surface morphology, indicating that multifunctional nanosilica particles can be applied in stereolithographic 3D printing.
