preparation example Construction

[0058] Various polyols can be used in the preparation of oligomers. Examples of suitable polyols are polyether polyols, polyester polyols, polycarbonate polyols, polycaprolactone polyols, acrylate polyols, and the like. These polyols may be used alone or in combination of two or more. There is no particular limitation on the polymerization method of the structural units in these polyols: any of random polymerization, block polymerization or graft polymerization is acceptable. Preferably, P2010 (BASF) is used.

[0059] When preparing oligomer A, the polyol component can be added to the oligomer reaction mixture in any suitable amount, and its amount is suitable in the range of about 20 to about 99 wt% based on the weight percentage of the oligomer mixture, more preferably Suitably in the range of about 40 to 97 wt%, preferably in the range of about 65 to about 95 wt%.

[0060] Polyols suitable for use in the preparation of oligomers may have a number average molecular weight...

[0212] Test methods for tensile strength, elongation and modulus:

[0213] The tensile properties (tensile strength, elongation at break and modulus) of the cured samples were tested using an Instron Model 4201 universal tester. Samples for testing were prepared by curing a 75 μm film of material using a Fusion UV processor. Samples in nitrogen atmosphere, 1.0J / cm 2 Next solidify. Test strips 0.5 inches wide by 5 inches long were cut from the film. The precise thickness of each sample was measured using a micrometer.

[0214] For relatively soft coatings (eg, those with a modulus less than about 10 MPa), the coating was drawn and cured on a glass plate, followed by cutting individual strips from the glass plate with a scalpel. Using a 2-lb load cell in the Instron, the modulus was calculated at 2.5% elongation with a least squares fit to the stress-strain curve. The cured film was conditioned for a ...

[0280] The synthesis of the urethane acrylate oligomer was performed according to the inside-out synthesis described above. Three block oligomers were prepared using 50% TDI and 50% IPDI, with TDI in the middle of the oligomer (T / I) and TDI at the end (I / T), the latter having a higher viscosity. The polyols used for the synthesis of the urethane-acrylate oligomers have molecular weights of about 2000, 4000 and 6000 g / mol, which are indicated by the values ​​used.
