A fast water-based ultraviolet light (UV) curing polyurethane-acrylate (PUA) wood coating was prepared in the laboratory, and applied on oak (Quercus alba L.) at different coating amounts. The PUA wood coating can be fast cured within 22 min, which highly improved the drying speed compared to normal water-based wood coatings (often higher than 35 min). The coating amounts affected the coating properties after curing on oak. With the increase of coating amount, the adhesion, hardness and gloss value of surface increased to different extents. Meanwhile, the surface of sample became smooth gradually because the voids of the oak were filled. Thus, higher coating amount resulted in better coating properties. However, no significant increase of penetration depth was found. During curing, the hydroxyl groups of the wood reacted with the coating. The optimal parameter in this study was the coating amount of 120 g/m2, where the adhesion reached 1 (with 0–5% cross-cut area of flaking along the edges), with the hardness of 2H and the gloss of 92.56°, which met the requirement of Chinese standard GB/T 18103–2013, and could be used for engineered wood flooring.

In this paper, a kind of high solid content water-based polyurethane-acrylate (PUA) coating was synthesized in laboratory. Bamboo, bamboo scrimber, and heat-treated bamboo scrimber were selected as substrates and coated with the PUA coating. The coating properties of those materials were investigated. The results showed that PUA coating could well cover the surface of the three kinds of materials. However, the coating performances varied among these substrates due to their different chemical and morphological surfaces. Due to the densified structures, small pores, and improved hydrophobicity of bamboo scrimber, it was difficult for PUA coating to wet and penetrate into the substrate, where the smaller contact angle and penetration depth were obtained compared with bamboo. In contrast, heat-treated one had better hydrophilicity and smaller contact angle with PUA coating than pure bamboo scrimber. Therefore, the coating performance of heat-treated bamboo scrimber was better with lower average roughness value. However, the adhesion classification between the coating and all substrates was 2 (with 5-15% cross-cut area of flaking along the edges).

The bonding mechanism between water-based UV curable ink and active groups on paper’s fiber during curing process was studied in this paper. Low viscosity water-based UV-cured resin was synthesized by epoxy resins, epoxy diluent, acrylic acid and maleic anhydride in the presence of catalyst. The viscosity of the synthesis system and synthetic products were significantly reduced when epoxy diluent was added to replace parts of the epoxy resin. Epoxy diluent was very useful in reducing the viscosity of the product, but over-dose would have negative effects on the quality of the cured film. The water-based epoxy acrylate prepolymer was used as the substitution for the ink to investigate the binding mechanism between the active groups of prepolymer and fiber under UV irradiation. The prepolymer and photoinitiator were mixed and the mixture was diluted to an appropriate viscosity by a small amount of water, then printed on the paper by the method of analog printing and curred by UV curing machine. The printed paper was used to extract lignin by enzymatic/mild acidolysis. FT-IR was used to characterize the changes of the active groups in lignin. The results showed that the changes of active groups in lignin were founded in the existence of ultraviolet and photoinitiator, which consistent with the change of double bonds in prepolymer. The free radicals produced by photoinitiator in curing process not only promoted the double bonds to polymerize, but also accelerated the active groups of lignin binding. Experiments show that chemical bonds exist between them.

Water-brone UV-curable polyurethane acrylate was synthesized based on the toluene diisocynate, polypropylene glycol, dihydroxy methyl acrylic acid and hydroxyethyl acrylate. The structure and the influencing factors on the water solubility and photosensitivity of the waterbrone UV-curable polyurethane acrylate were analyzed. Results show that the water solubility of the resin is enhanced with the increasing of the content of hydrophilic group in the resin. The UV-curing rate of the waterborne coating is good by adding the 819-DW photoinitiator. Triethylamine is a good neutralizer in the waterbrone UV-curable system for having 90% neutralization degree.

The distribution of wood preservative coatings in wood surface layer was assessed at the cellular level using confocal Raman microscopy. Raman images were created based on the fingerprint Raman bands of the different wood polymers and coating components (resin and pigment). The wood cell walls and the distribution of the resin and pigment were clearly visualized at the same time. It was concluded that confocal Raman microscopy is suitable for the evaluation of the microdistribution of wood coatings, providing valuable information for the improvement of wood coating technology.

Water-based UV-curable prepolymers are novel environmentally friendly materials. The blending property of two kinds of the prepolymers, water-based UV-curable polyurethane acrylate (UVPU) and water-based UV-curable epoxy acrylate (WEA), was studied in this paper. Blending compatibility, curing rate, optical and mechanical properties, and the cross-section morphology of the cured films of UVPU and WEA were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis) and Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). Results indicated that the two prepolymers had good blending compatibility and high curing rate under UV radiation. The elongation at break of the cured film by WEA mixed with 20 wt% UVPU had 1.5 times increase compared to pure WEA, and the gloss increased 23% compared to pure UVPU, but the tensile strength decreased slightly. The morphology showed that the molecules of the two prepolymers polymerized each other and formed a network similar to the structure of Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPN). The comprehensive properties of the film were improved by blending of WEA and UVPU, and could be widely applied in the fields of coating varnish or printing ink.

In this paper, waterborne ultraviolet (UV)-curing wood coatings were modified by nano MgCO3 puree, and prepared by optimizing the process parameters. The mechanical properties (hardness, adhesion and resistance impact strength) and gloss of waterborne UV-curing wood coatings modified by nano MgCO3 puree were tested. It was found that the mechanical properties of coatings increased when nano MgCO3 content increased from 0 to 3.0%. Waterborne UV-curing wood coatings had good hardness, adhesion and impact strength when the nano MgCO3 content was 3%-4%. The hardness was 3H, the adhesion was grade 1, and impact strength was 40 kg∙cm. However, when nano MgCO3 content was higher than 4%, the mechanical properties of coatings decreased. As the nano MgCO3 content gradually increasing, the gloss of waterborne UV-curing wood coatings modified by nano MgCO3 puree decreased. When the nano MgCO3 content was 4.0%, the gloss of coating was 33%. When the nano MgCO3 content exceeded 4.0%, the gloss of waterborne UV-curing wood coatings displayed matte.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the current dust extraction efficiency used in the Malaysian furniture industry and also the effectiveness of using engineered nanoparticle (ENP)-added coatings to reduce dust emission in the wood finishing operation. This study was in response to the enforcement of the Clean Air Regulation (2014), which requires significant improvements in the air quality and the work environment in the wood-based industry in Malaysia. A series of sanding experiments with different abrasive grit sizes and different coating types were conducted to determine the dust emission levels. The results suggested that higher capture velocity of 30 m/s was necessary to effectively capture the wood coating dust emitted. Further, ENP-added wood coatings did not differ markedly from conventional coatings with regard to dust emission characteristics. The study also revealed that total dust concentration had an inverse relationship, while the amount of finer dust particles was linearly related to the coating film hardness. Therefore, to comply with the Clean Air Regulation, the Malaysian furniture industry needs to significantly improve its dust extraction system.
