UV-curable polyurethane acrylate: properties and applications
Thursday, 29 September 2011
An article by Korean scientists demonstrates an overview of features and applications of PUA materials with particular focus on the ability of tuning modulus and surface energy.
A group of Korean scientists have been testing the UV-curable polyurethane acrylate (PUA) materials in various applications ranging from nanopatterning, biomimetics, microfluidics to tissue engineering. In this highlight they provide a brief overview of the properties and applications of PUA with particular focus on the ability of tuning modulus (20320 MPa) and surface energy (2060 mJ m-2). These unique features enable using the material in various patterning applications as a mold and a patterned film, respectively. Other features of PUA such as self-replication, partial curing, flexibility, biocompatibility and transparency are also briefly described along with their applications. Read the complete article in "Journal of materials Chemistry", 2011, Issue 38, p. 14325-14335.
