Abstract

The effect of the extent of internal unsaturation and branching on the properties of the acrylated polyester films was investigated. Polyester acrylate resins were prepared based on adipic acid, maleic anhydride, neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, and acrylic acid. As the reactive diluent, trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) was used. Experiments were planned according to the three-factor, three-level Box-Behnken design. Coating film properties were evaluated in terms of the independent variables, amount of branching, internal unsaturation, and reactive diluent.
