The curing mechanism and characteristics of UV curable acrylate resins were studied using Photo-DSC, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. Effects of chemical structures of acrylate, numbers of functional group, and UV intensity on curing kinetics were investigated with Photo-DSC. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy has been used to understand curing mechanisms and reaction conversion. In order to investigate the effect of oxygen on the photo-curing reaction, the curing process was compared between the acrylate and thiol-ene resins. The reaction conversion was found to be less than 80% for acrylate resins. The photo-curing reaction of the acrylate resin could not proceed to the end because of oxygen which acts as a reaction inhibitor while the thiol-ene resin was hardly affected from oxygen during the curing process.

In this study, photo-cuarable urethane methacrylate oligomers were synthesized from polyether type polyol (PP series, GP series), isocyanate (2,4-toluene diisocyanate) and hydroxy acrylate (hydroxypropyl methacrylate). We measured basic property including color, viscosity and refractive index of resulting urethane methacrylate. Also we measured tensile strength, elongation, and Young's modulus after photo curing. Photo curing speed was investigated using photo-DSC (TA instrument). In the case of similar polyol structure, as the molecular weight of polyol is increased, tensile strength, Young's modulus, curing rate were decreased, but elongation was increased. As the number of functionality of urethane methacrylate oligomer is increased, tensile strength, Young's modulus, curing rate were increased, but elongation was decreased.

In this study, we investigated the curing properties of UV-LED curable color coating. Specially, the effects of UV-LED wavelength (365, 395, and 405 nm), inert gas, the concentration of photosensitizer, and dual curing on the curing behavior of UV-LED coating systems were studied. The photopolymerization behaviors and the unreacted acrylate groups at Film-air (FA) interface and Film-substrate (FS) interface were investigated by photo differential scanning calorimetry (Photo-DSC) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection (FT-IR/ATR), respectively. Photo-DSC results showed that the heat flow and the ultimate conversion for coating system cured by 405 nm UV-LED were higher than the corresponding values for coating systems cured by 395 and 365 nm UV-LED. FT-IR/ATR results showed that the UV-LED curing systems improved interior and through curing of the coating film, but significantly are affected by oxygen inhibition at FA-interface. The inert environment such as nitrogen purging and the dual curing improved the surface and interior curing of the coating films.

This study examined the curing temperature of concrete with a photothermal insulation sheet to shorten the curing time of concrete as part of construction cost and period reduction. According to the experiment results, the heating performance effect is confirmed through the temperature difference between photothermal insulation sheet and bubble sheet. And it has a high curing temperature in the order of bubble sheet (photo heating material B) > bubble sheet (photo heating material A) > bubble sheet on same layers.

Since a transition from liquid crystal to crystal state is slow for the large photo-reactive liquid crystal molecules, it needs a long time for recrystallization of LC242 molecules when lowering the temperature of the liquid crystal. Although liquid crystals usually align along one direction, the directions of individual liquid crystal molecules are little different from one another with increasing temperature, resulting in changes of birefringence of the liquid crystal films. When the photo-reactive liquid crystals are photo-cured, faster curing kinetics and much larger curing degrees are observed for the films cured at the liquid crystal phase.

Surface properties and curing behavior of UV-initiated photopolymerization with and without wax have been investigated by pendulum hardness, pencil hardness, gloss, photo-differential scanning calorimetry (photo-DSC) and SEM. In addition, the influence of wax type (paraffin wax, PE wax) on the various properties of UV cured films was studied. The results showed that the wax type was the significant factor affecting gloss and surface hardness of UV cured films. Specially, the photo-DSC results showed that ${\Delta}H$ for the UV cured films containing paraffin wax was higher than the corresponding values for the formulation without wax and with PE wax. The observed results clearly demonstrate that the photopolymerization of UV curing with paraffin wax in an air atmosphere is less inhibited by the oxygen compared to UV curing without wax and with PE wax.

Self-photoinitiating acrylate (SPIA) which can undergo self-initiation under UV irradiation was synthesized by a Michael addition in the presence of a base catalyst. The SPIA polymerizations were investigated by photo-differential scanning calorimeter (photo-DSC) and surface physical properties such as pendulum hardness and pencil hardness. The results showed that the SPIA can cure upon UV irradiation by itself without a photoinitiator. But we found out that both the curing rate and the conversion were too low for the self-curing reaction of SPIA. In order to improve the SPIA curing properties, we introduced the SPIA/cationic hybrid system and observed the effects of the addition of commercial free radical type monomer and photoinitiator on the curing behaviors. SPIA/cationic hybrid system was the best suitable to improve the SPIA curing properties. The kinetic analysis indicated that the cationic monomer and photoinitiator apparently accelerated the cure reaction and rate of the hybrid SPIA system, mostly due to the synergistic effect of cationic monomer and photoinitiator increasing the mobility of active species and the generation of reactive species (free radical, cation) during the photopolymerization process. The physical properties showed that, unlike typical free radical system, the hybrid systems did not show oxygen inhibition effect because of cationic reaction on the coating surface.

The goal of this paper is to investigate the effects of out-of-plane deposition angle on product characteristics of a UV photo-curing process. Specimens are manufactured from a commercialized UV photo-curing machine, the NOBEL V1.0. The influence of the out-of-plane deposition angle of the specimen on surface characteristics, including morphology of the sloped surface, pick-to-pick distance of convex region, and roughness of the sloped surface, is examined via the observation of the sloped surface. In addition, the influence of the radius of curvature of the specimen on the surface roughness of the sloped surface is evaluated. The effects of the out-of-plane deposition angle on impact strength of specimens are investigated via Izod impact experiments. Finally, we discuss the influence of the out-of-plane deposition angle on failure characteristics of specimens for impact loads.

In order to study the radiation curing behavior of poly(ethylene glycol 400) dimethacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, we investigated the influence of temperature and photoinitiator concentration by photo-DSC. As the number of ethylene glycol unit, the concentration of photoinitiator, and the reaction temperature increased, the reaction speed of PEG400DMA and EGDMA increased. Although the reaction speed of PEG400DMA was lower than EGDMA, the overall conversion of PEG400DMA was high.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the flexural properties and perform the Weibull analysis of photo-curing three-dimensional (3D) printing resin. Methods: Photo-curing temporary resin (3D polymer) was used as a printing resin. Specimens (65 × 10 × 3.3 ㎣) were prepared following the ISO 20975-1 guidelines and according to the different printing orientations using a digital light processing 3D printer (D2 120; Dentium). The flexural strength (FS), flexural modulus, and work of fracture (WOF) were measured using a universal testing machine (Instron 3344; Instron) at a crosshead speed of 5 mm/min. Results: In this study, the 0° orientation exhibited higher FS and WOF than the 45° orientation. Significant differences were found among the printing orientations (p<0.05). Specimens printed at the 0° orientation were the most accurate. In the Weibull analysis, 0° showed the greatest Weibull modulus (m), which represents a higher reliability. Conclusion: 3D printing should be selected and used by considering flexural properties, size accuracy, and reliability.
