Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) is a low cost raw material in polymer industry. To develop DCPD new application we have invented a new synthesis methods to produce DCPD based acrylic resins. The DCPD based acrylic resins contain bridged bicyclic skeleton, which is different with traditional linear or cyclic aliphatic and aromatic structure and show a different application properties such as higher glass transition temperature; lower UV absorption; lower viscosity. These new DCPD based acrylic resins will be an alternative raw material for coating production and will increase DCPD application for low cost coating resins. In this report the synthesis process, properties and application of DCPD based acrylic resins will be presented.
