Research Progress in UV-curing Acrylate Resin and Its Applications
UV curing is extensively applied in various fields such as 3D printing and coatings,owing to its advantages of rapid curing,environmental friendliness,and low energy consumption.Among the free radical photocurable oligomers,acrylate oligomers are currently the most widely used.This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research progress on acrylate oligomers,focusing on epoxy acrylate,polyurethane acrylate,polyester acrylate,and polyester acrylate.Additionally,it discusses the advancements in the application of UV-curing resins in 3D printing,ink,coatings,and adhesives.In anticipation of addressing the limitations of free radical UV curing,the future prospects for research on photocured resins are also contemplated.
