Study on the UV curing behavior of tung oil: Mechanism, curing activity and film-forming property

With the rapid development of industry and the growing shortage of fossil energy, tung oil has attracted much attention of researchers because of its environment-friendly and renewable advantages. In this work, the curing mechanism of tung oil under UV irradiation is studied by the titration of the peroxide value, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In addition, the effects of different...
