UV Curable Aqueous Dispersion of Acrylic Polymers with Maleimide Group for Wood Coating

With UV irradiation, maleimide derivatives are known to dimerize through triplet exited 2 Utilizing this dimerization, photosensitive polymers with pendant maleimide moiety have been investigated in chemicalindustries. Recentry, un-substituted maleimide derivatives were found to initiate photo-induced polymerization of multi-functional acrylate(MFA) without any 6 These photo-polymerization was explained to be initiated by the radicals from maleimide moiety through uni- of bi-molecular hydrogen abstraction.
