The structure–property relationships of urethane-acrylic thermosetting systems

Urethane-acrylic copolymers have found increasing use as a radiation curable materials in the recent years. These copolymers are highly crosslinked through the use of acrylic monomers having more than one double bond. Stirling Lloyd had discovered such materials to be a successful alternative to the urethane or acrylics coatings as waterproof membrane coatings. In this project, structure-property relationships of UA copolymer systems were studied. These were peroxide cured at room temperature. [Continues.]
