  • ULTRAVIOLET CURED POLYESTERS FROM SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20140107246
    Abstract: Crosslinked, ultraviolet cured polycondensation products of either a saturated or unsaturated polyol and an unsaturated polyacid are disclosed. The preferred monomers used in the present invention are sustainable monomers, such as glycerol, castor oil, fumaric acid, sebacic acid, and citric acid. Other monomers, including maleic acid, may also be used. The monomers are cured using a photoinitiator. Processes for preparing the polycondensation products are also provided.
