Effect of Chemical Structure on Properties of UV-Cured Polyurethane Acrylates

The relationship between the chemical structure and properties of UV-cured polyurethane acrylate films has been investigated. Studies have been made on the effects of the molecular weight of polyol, the types of polyol and diluents on the properties such as tensile properties and thermal properties. The glass transition temperature decreased with increasing the molecular weight of polyol. However storage modulus increased by using the diluent containing rigid structure and multifunctional acrylate monomers.
