Morphology control and mechanical properties of monoacrylates polymers prepared by UV and electron beam photopolymerization

Abstract EN

The morphology and the mechanical properties of the polymer networks have been investigated under UV and electron beam irradiation based on the molecular weight distribution of the polymer chains.

It has been observed that the molar mass and the length of the polymer chain have a major effect in determining the morphology and mechanical properties of the polymer.

The morphology and the architecture of the polymer chains can be controlled by varying the intensity of the UV and electron beam doses during the photopolymerization.
