Vinylether monomers offer unique properties for UV/EB curing due to their efficiency as reactive diluents and their ability to undergo both cationic homopolymerization and free-radical copolymerization. The benefits derived from the inclusion of vinylethers into commercial UVcurable epoxysilicone formulations include viscosity reduction, improved cationic photoinitiator miscibility, and lower c...

This study aims to design an alternative way for the laminated fabric manufacturing with a cleaner production method, by using bio-based coating formulation and time/cost saving, environmentally friendly UV-curing technology, compared conventional petroleum based, heat solvent requiring laminating process. For this purpose, acrylated epoxidized soybean oil oligomer was synthesized included in f...

In recent years, dual‐cure chemistry has been exploited to realize interpenetrating networks (IPNs) that provide enhanced thermo‐mechanical properties. this contribution, photoinduced curing of (meth)acrylates is used build the desired 3D structure, whereas thermally triggered polymerization reaction 2H‐chromene functionalized building blocks utilized create IPN. This strategy combines advantag...
