Abstract
A novel UV-curable prepolymer hexanediol diglycidyl ether diacrylate (HDGEA) was synthesized by utilizing hexanediol diglycidyl ether (HDGE) and acrylic acid (AA) as starting materials, N, N-dimethylbenzylamine as catalyst and p-hydroxyanisole as inhibitor. The optimal synthetic conditions were that the concentration of N, N-dimethylbenzylamine was 0.80 wt% of reactants, the concentration of p-hydroxyanisole was 0.3 wt% of reactants, the reaction temperature was 90–110 °C, and the molar ratio of HDGE to AA was 1: 2.2. Meanwhile, 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone of a UV-curing initiator was added to the synthesized HDGEA to prepare a kind of UV-curing coating. The mechanical properties of the UV-cured films were determined, giving 31.87 MPa of tensile strength, 871.88 MPa of Young’s modulus and 6.77% of elongation at tear.
