Acrylated and methacrylated furanoic diols and their use in UV curing systems.
UV-curable coatings are highly valued for their efficiency and environmental benefits, such as low VOC emissions and reduced energy use. Traditionally, petroleum-derived reactive diluents in UV-cure formulations contribute to ecological concerns. This technology introduces a UV-curable coating composition featuring furan-based di(meth)acrylate reactive...

Novel Diols from Sustainable Raw Materials
Scientists at NDSU have developed bio-based diols that are produced from compounds that can be extracted from cellulosic biomass. These diols may be used to produce epoxy resins without using bisphenol-A, as well as polyesters and polyurethanes. The epoxy resins can be used to produce a range of coatings, composites, and adhesives, including food and...
