Abstract In the present research, cardanol based di-acrylic UV oligomer was
synthesized by thiol-ene coupling followed by ring opening reaction with glycidyl
methacrylate. The intermediate as well as final diacrylate materials were analyzed
by chemical as well as spectroscopic analysis. Further, ultraviolet (UV) radiation
curable formulations were prepared by replacing commercial epoxy acrylate with
synthesized UV oligomer in 10-50 wt% and applied on wood panels. The coated
films were then evaluated for their optical, mechanical, chemical and thermal
properties. Studies showed that up to 30 wt% amount of UV oligomer the coatings
exhibited at par mechanical More >
