| description | UV curing has win a lot of attention nowadays and also seen a lot of application in fields
like coatings, inks, adhesives and electronics. It is simple, fast and environment friendly
and helps save cost & time in industry. UV curing making use of cationic polymerization
is even better for it can be carried out in air. So a lot of research are looking into this field
and many photoreactive formulations are being investigated to check their UV curing
behavior.
This project studies the formulation of Epiclon HP-7200, a new high performance type
epoxy resin from DIC Corporation, as the monomer, Bis-(3, 4-epoxycyclohexyl) adipate
as the co-solvent and Cyracure ® UVI-6976 as the photoinitiator using the
photocalorimetry (DPC).
Results show that this formulation system can function well in the sense that it can be UV
cured and shows a consistency of the rate constant and activation energy & collision
factor. Also, the proven applicability of the two modes for the autocatalyzed analysis lays
foundation for future study.
The effect of the UV light intensity which will increase the reaction rate is also proven.
Finally, some recommendations are given to suggest some aspects that can be further
investigated, including to exam the effects of other factors, and look into the electron
beam curing of this formulation. |
