Event
Polymers in Coatings, Inks, and 3D Printing: The Basics of UV and EB Curing
Sponsored by the ACS Silicon Valley Section
October 21, 2021 from 7-8pm, Online via Zoom, Free, Registration required
Abstract:
The Energy Curable industry has grown tremendously since its beginnings in the early 1970s. The use of light or low energy electrons as the energy source for curing coatings is very attractive from a sustainability point of view. However, the main driving force for this technology has been the ability to lower process time and costs along with the ability to prepare coatings with unique properties. This seminar will present an introduction to photopolymerizations, otherwise known as UV and EB curing. In addition to the basic chemistry, an overview of various aspects of applications for UV coatings along with the equipment that is used will be covered.
Bio:
Dr. Mike J. Idacavage received his Ph.D. from Syracuse University in 1979. Mikes work in the area of energy curing started at Eastman Chemicals with the establishment of a photopolymer lab in 1985. In 2003, Mike received the Presidents Award for Outstanding Achievements to the Radiation Curing Industry from RadTech North America. He was also the President of RadTech North America for the 2009 to 2010 term. Currently, Mike is an advisor to RadTech and several companies in addition to being an Adjunct Associate Professor at SUNY-ESF in Syracuse, NY teaching courses in UV and EB curing technology.
