Synthesis and Properties of Epoxy Acrylic Modified Itaconic Acid Based Waterborne UV Resins
A series of epoxy acrylic modified itaconic acidbased waterborne UV resins were prepared by melt polycondensation of itaconic acid,1,4-butanediol,glycerol and epoxy acrylate.Their chemical structures were confirmed by IR,acid value and hydroxyl value.The curing time of resins and properties of cured films including pencil hardness,flexibility,adhesion and water resistance were also investigated.Results showed that when the content of epoxy acrylic is 10% ,the resin had the best overall performance and exhibited excellent performance in pencil hardness(5H)and curing time(8 s).
