Abstract

Water-dispersible UV-curable urethane acrylate emulsions were prepared with polyethylene glycol (PEG) — modified urethane acrylates (PMUA), containing terminal hydrophilic polyoxyethylene chains. To improve physical properties of PMUA, epoxy acrylate (EA) having high thermal stability and hardness, was mixed with five kinds of PMUA containing different chain lengths of polyoxyethylene (POE). For PMUA/EA mixtures, the composition ratio of EA to PMUA and the chain length of POE greatly influenced the size of droplets of emulsions and the physical properties of their cured films. At higher EA to PMUA ratio, the physical properties decreased, which was due to phase separation between EA and PMUA. Phase separation was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy.
