Reaction behaviour of monomeric β‐ketoesters, 4. Polymer network formation by Michael reaction of multifunctional acetoacetates with multifunctional acrylates

Based on the Michael reaction of multifunctional acetoacetates with multiacrylates, in the presence or absence of dimethacrylates, tailor made matrix materials can be prepared. This can be achieved in a one‐ or two‐step process. The Michael addition (first step) can be followed by radiation curing of excessive acrylate (second step).
