Synthesis of Dicyclopentenyl (meth) Acrylate and Application of UV Curable Resin

Abstract

We have used trans-esterification and developed the manufacturing technology for (meth)acrylates. Dicyclopentenyl acrylate synthesized by trans-esterification had lower ionic impurities and lower skin irritation. It was kept in 60℃ while 6 months, then its color and acid value was little increased. Dicyclopentenyl methacrylate had high T_g. It was indicated that the double bond in five-menbered ring of the monomer reacted in UV curing process to form cross-link.
