Abstract

UV light emitting diodes (LED) are compared with conventional light sources for curing acrylate formulations. Both polymerization rates and the properties of the resulting coatings were examined. UV LEDs are acceptable alternatives to conventional light sources for a variety of applications. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007
