Abstract :
In this study, a number of materials have been incorporated into UV epoxy formulations in order to effect and achieve a broader range of final properties. We understand that different Smart Card/Tag applications require different processing and final properties and as such, the tailoring of final properties is an important development tool. The elements examined in the work presented include cure rate, hardness, glass transition temperature, water uptake and a number of other observations.
