Abstract:
The present technology provides compositions that include a UV curable resin dispersion that include a branched C6-C20 alkyl di-(meth)acrylate ester monomer and at least about 15 wt.% of one or more non-white pigments. The present technology also provides compositions that include a UV curable resin dispersion that include a branched C6-C20 alkyl di-(meth)acrylate ester monomer and at least about 35 wt.% of one or more white pigments. The compositions may be in the form of an energy curable composition. The compositions may be useful for flexographic printing, ink jet printing, and 3D printing applications.

Abstract:
An ink or coating formulation including an energy curable high reactivity heteroatom-containing polycarbonate polyfunctional-vinyl ether molecule of formula (I) or an energy curable high reactivity heteroatom-containing acrylate molecule of formula (II) is provided.
Abstract:
A composition includes one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers and (a) one or more oligomers represented by Formula (I): wherein: A is derived from one or more poly hydroxyl group compounds having a number average molecular weight (Mn) from about 250 to about 3000 g/mol; D, X, and Y are independently urethane or carbamate linkages derived from one or more polyisocyanates; Q and Z are independently derived from one or more compounds having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group; n is an integer from 1 to 20; and m is an integer from 0 to 20; or (b) one or more commercial urethane acrylates; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b); wherein the composition is a 3D UV curable composition.
Abstract:
A photoinitiator includes a benzophenone moiety, a nitrogen-containing moiety covalently bonded to the benzophenone moiety, and an unsaturated polymerizable moiety covalently bonded to the nitrogen-containing moiety. The unsaturated polymerizable moiety includes an acrylate group or a methacrylate group.
Abstract:
An ink or coating formulation including an energy curable high reactivity heteroatom-containing polycarbonate polyfunctional-vinyl ether molecule of formula (I) or an energy curable high reactivity heteroatom-containing acrylate molecule of formula (II) is provided.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a hyperbranched polycarbonate polyol includes reacting a polyfunctional alcohol and an ester or carbonate in the presence of a catalyst and then heating the reaction mixture under azeotropic reflux conditions to form an alcohol or water. The alcohol or water by-product is then removed from the reaction mixture, thereby pushing the reaction forward.
