URETHANE (METH)ACRYLATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18735267 titled 'URETHANE (METH)ACRYLATE
The patent application describes a urethane (meth)acrylate that can be cured to form a cured product with excellent stretchability, flexibility, foldability, and shape recoverability when folded.
- The urethane (meth)acrylate is represented by a specific chemical formula and has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 16000 to 60000.
- The ratio of weight average molecular weight (Mw) to Mn, Mw/Mn, is between 1.0 to 1.2.
- The urethane (meth)acrylate has a urethane group mass content of 0.18 to 0.73 mass % based on the total mass of the urethane (meth)acrylate.
Potential Applications: - Coatings for flexible materials - Adhesives for flexible substrates - Sealants for foldable products
Problems Solved: - Lack of stretchability in cured products - Limited flexibility in coatings and adhesives - Poor shape recoverability in foldable materials
Benefits: - Improved stretchability and flexibility - Enhanced foldability and shape recoverability - Versatile applications in various industries
Commercial Applications: Title: Flexible Urethane (Meth)acrylate for Coatings, Adhesives, and Sealants This technology can be used in industries such as textiles, packaging, and electronics for flexible and durable products.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the urethane (meth)acrylate improve shape recoverability in foldable materials? 2. What are the key differences between this urethane (meth)acrylate and traditional formulations in terms of flexibility and stretchability?
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a urethane (meth)acrylate that can be cured to form a cured product excellent in stretchability, flexibility, and foldability, as well as shape recoverability when folded. The urethane (meth)acrylate of the present invention is represented by the following formula (1) and has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 16000 to 60000, a ratio of a weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the (Mn), Mw/Mn, of 1.0 to 1.2, and a urethane group mass content of 0.18 to 0.73 mass % based on a total mass of the urethane (meth)acrylate:
