Abstract: | A series of novel photosensitive urethane oligomers was synthesized in which methacryloyl group was contained in the hard segment. The hard segment was prepared by reacting 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate with glycerine mono methacrylate, which was successively reacted with three kinds of glycols involving 1,4-poly(butadiene glycol), poly(propylene glycol), and poly(caprolactone diol). The mechanical properties of synthesized urethane oligomers after irradiating with ultraviolet light were evaluated to elucidate the effect of the molecular structure and the content of the hard segment on the mechanical property. |
