UV-A light is applied to cure polyester acrylate resins of various compositions. In this study, in one experiment, the specimens were cured for a fixed duration of 20 minutes by UV-A irradiation under nitrogen atmosphere. The percentages of oligomers and monomers varied, and the photoinitiator content was fixed at 2 wt%. The initial decomposition temperatures of the specimens containing two- or three-functional group monomers increased with increasing monomer percentages. The thermal expansion coefficient of acrylate resins containing two- or three-functional group monomers decreased with increasing monomer percentages. Nevertheless, these trends contrasted with those of the specimens containing single-functional group monomers. The monomer used has no obvious influence on the glass transition temperature of the acrylate resins. The specimens containing three-functional group monomers had the highest initial decomposition temperatures, lowest thermal expansion coefficients, and higher glass transition temperatures. In another experiment, the percentages of oligomers and monomers were fixed, and the photoinitiator content was increased. Regardless of the monomer used, the initial decomposition and glass transition temperatures of the specimens decreased and the thermal expansion coefficient of the specimens increased. |
