Abstract

A series of UV-curable isophorone diisocyanate-based poly(ester-urethane)methacrylate (IPEUMA) oligomers were synthesized by a two-step polymerization process. The amount of isophorone diisocyanate was varied during the synthesis. The effects of NCO:OH ratio and HEMA on the structural and physicochemical properties of UV-cured IPEUMAs were investigated. As the NCO:OH ratio increased, the tensile strength and thermal stability increased, whereas the elongation and hydrolytic degradation of the film decreased. The higher strength and thermal stability for higher NCO:OH ratio may be due to the increase in intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the UV-cured film. UV-cured IPEUMA films also show excellent chemical and solvent resistance.
