Abstract

A review of photocurable acrylate compositions, which can be used for a wide range of tasks, including 3D printing, has been carried out. The main (meth)acrylate monomers, oligomers and diluents, comonomers and special additives are considered. The influence of the structure of monomers and active diluents on the properties of the polymer is described. The mechanisms of photoinitiation and the mechanisms of chain transfer agents are presented. The influence of the introduction of epoxy resins into the composition of photocurable acrylate compositions is indicated. The conclusion is made about the possibilities of wide modification of such compositions.
