Cover Story: Plant-based fatty acids are interesting precursors for the preparation of soft polymer networks. Formulations containing different type I photoinitiators were subjected to photopolymerization by applying UV-assisted differential scanning calorimetry (UV-DSC). In this work, for the first time, the influence of the curing conditions on the photopolymerization process, such as the photoinitiator concentration, light intensity, and oxygen presence/absence, were investigated for these novel systems. The chemical structure of the photoinitiators and curing conditions had a strong effect on the photopolymerization kinetics and thermomechanical properties of the prepared soft polymer networks.
