Researchers use isosorbide to prepare polyurethane acrylate resin which can be used in UV-curable coatings

a newly published paper discusses the synthesis of renewable isosorbide-based polyurethane acrylate resins for use in uv-curable coatings with tunable properties. isosorbide is a starch derivative obtained by dehydrating d-sorbitol extracted from corn syrup. isosorbide is an ideal bio-based monomer that can prepare high-performance polymer materials and replace petroleum-based materials. during the research, isosorbide was…
