Abstract

This study aims to understand the different photocuring behaviors of acrylated polyester by adding different photoinitiators and monomers. Differential photo calorimeter (DPC) is used to understand the exothermal effects during photocuring. The self-catalyst model of dynamic analysis software was then used to obtain the relationships between reaction speed, reaction extent, and rate of reaction. In addition, this study also tried to understand the formation of photocuring resin from the rigid-body pendulum rheometer (RPT) experiment. The results showed that the extent of reaction, conversion rate and speed varies directly with the concentration of the photoinitiator and monomer. The reaction level of propoxylated pentaerithritol triacrylate was higher than propoxylated neopentyl-glycol diacrylate. Moreover, the method using RPT shows better view of the molecule reaction status inside the photopolymer.
