Description
General description
Isobornyl acrylate (IA) is an acrylate-based monomer used in the production of various polymers, coatings, and adhesives. It has excellent adhesion properties, good chemical resistance, and low shrinkage, making it a popular choice for use in UV-curable coatings on various substrates such as plastics, metals, and wood. Additionally, it is also used as a crosslinking agent in radiation-curable coatings and as an additive for pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Application
Isobornyl acrylate can be used as a co-monomer with other acrylic monomers in the preparation of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) for optical applications. It is also used in the development of high-performance and stable polymer gate dielectrics for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). Furthermore, it can also used in the preparation of UV-curable waterborne polyurethane (WPU) by copolymerization.
