ABSTRACT

This paper reports the synthesis of epoxy functionalized bio-renewable monomers that can be applied in cationic photopolymerization. The cationic UV-curing process was efficient giving rise to crosslinked coatings with a wide range of thermo-mechanical properties. The final properties were analysed based on the monomer chemical structure.
