Self-Healing UV-Curable Acrylate Coatings for Wood Finishing System, Part 2: Impact of Monomer Structure and Self-Healing Parameters on Self-Healing Efficiency
description Wood is increasingly used in construction for the benefits it brings to occupants and for its ecological aspect. Indoor wood products are frequently subject to mechanical aggressions, their abrasion and scratch resistance thus need to be improved. The coating system ensures the wood surface protection, which is, for wood flooring, a multilayer acrylate UV-curable 100% solid system. To increase the service life of wood flooring, a new property is studied: self-healing. The objective of this study is to observe the impact of monomer structure on self-healing efficiency and the effect of self-healing parameters. A previous formulation was developed using hydrogen bond technology to generate the self-healing property. In this paper, the assessment of the formulation and the self-healing parameters’ impact on self-healing efficiency as well as the physicochemical properties are presented. The composition of the monomer part in the formulations was varied, and the effect on the conversion yield (measured by FT-IR), on the T<sub>g</sub> and crosslinking density (measured by DMA) and on mechanical resistance (evaluated via hardness pendulum, indentation, and reverse impact) was analyzed. The self-healing efficiency of the coatings was determined by gloss and scratch depth measurements (under constant and progressive load). It was proven that monomers with three acrylate functions bring too much crosslinking, which inhibits the chain mobility necessary to observe self-healing.
