UV-curable polyurethane acrylates were formulated from the prepolymer, tri- methylol propane triacrylate (TMPTA) as a reactive diluent, and 1-hydroxycyclohexyl ketone (Irgacure 184) as a photoinitia- tor. Dynamic mechanical thermal properties and elastic properties of UV-cured polyurethane acrylates was found to depend on the chemical composition of IPDI/MDI and PPG/BD. As the BD content increased, the tensile storage modulus of all series samples increased significantly. The storage modulus increased in the order of samples A (IPDI based samples) > samples B (IPDI/MDI (7/3 molar ratio) based samples) > samples C (IPDI/MDI (5/5 molar ratio) based samples at the same composition. Two distinct loss modulus peaks for all samples are observed owing to the soft segment glass transition Δ temperature (Tgs) and hard segment glass transition temperature (Tgh). The difference between Tgs and Tgh ( Tg) increases in the order of A > B > C at the same composition. In cycle test, the initial onset strain (%) was found to decrease with increas- ing BD content in PPG/BD and with increasin
