Abstract
Photocurable compositions and methods for making same are provided. The compositions comprise at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, at least one photoinitiator, and at least one water dispersible ethylenically unsaturated rubber. The ethylenically unsaturated rubber is rendered water dispersible by reaction of olefinic functionality therein with a hydrophilic diene. The resulting water-dispersible ethylenically unsaturated rubber is then blended with one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers and one or more photoinitiators.
