Polymerization and network formation of UV curable materials monitored by hyphenated real-time ultrasound reflectometry and near-infrared spectroscopy (RT US/NIRS)

摘要

During cure of coatings a complex interplay of changes in the chemistry and physics of the material occurs, In order to get detailed insight in the mechanisms of cure and network formation it is therefore desired to be able to monitor both simultaneously. In this work a novel technique enabling such analysis is introduced.
