This package contains all the presentations that were given at the RTE Conference 2007, held from 13 - 15 November 2007 in Vienna, Austria.The theme of this conference was UB/EB - The Natural Choice

For dental restorative applications adhesives based on polymerizable acidic monomers are used that from a hybrid layer which is able to achieve strong bonds between the dentin and the composite filling material.

The developments of  polyurethane dispersions and radiation curing techniques come together in UV-curable  polyurathanedispersions.

The use of fluorinated monomers and oligomers for coatings is very attractive, due to the peculiar characteristics given by fluorine, such as water/oil repellency, chemical stability, weathering resistance, release properties, a low coefficient of friction, and a low refractive index.

Contactless smartcards and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) labels are devices that are capable of uniquely identifying an individual or object when the devices ar queried by an external radio frequency wave

Radiation curing is well known as a reliable and safe technology for many years in aplications in the wood industry, the printing industry and the automotive industry for instance.

In this paper an evaluation of the application performance in pigmented finishes for wood of several UV curable acrylic dispersions is presented.
