Abstract
The use of Ultra Violet Light Emitting Diodes (UV LED5) for carrying out rapid photo-initiated polymerizations (curing processes) has gained much attention recently, due to several advantages that UV LED's hold over traditional UV curing systems, such as lower unit cost with no bulb consumption through replacement, minimal maintenance and cooler curing source temperatures. UV LED's have been applied in the fields of coating and dental science. In this study, UV LED curing of ultra-thin films of acrylates was studied with photo Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). By monitoring the amount of heat released during curing, the photoinitiators were screened; the effect of LED irradiation time on the conversion has also been studied.
