Manipulating the Surface Structure of Hybrid UV Curable Coatings through Photopolymerization‐Induced Phase Separation: Influence of Inorganic Portion and Photoinitiator Content
Abstract:Surface topography and phase-manipulated distribution of hybrid UV curable coatings is performed. Accordingly, phase separation is controlled by changing the inorganic/organic ratio and the photoinitiator content as these are the main thermodynamic and kinetic affecting factors, respectively. Chemical and mechanical evolution of the samples during photopolymerization is investigated by time-resolved Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and photorheometry, respectively. It is found that the samples that cont… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
