Experiment Name: Preparation and Performance Study of High-Dielectric Photocurable Resin for Electronic Paper Based on UV Curing Technology and Copolymerization Method

Experiment Objective:
To address the issues of high driving voltage, slow response speed, and insufficient dielectric properties in electrophoretic display technology, this study proposes a method for preparing and optimizing microcup structures using high-dielectric photocurable resin. Through polar monomer copolymerization modification and UV nanoimprinting lithography, the regulatory mechanism of polar groups on the dielectric, optical, mechanical properties, and device driving behavior of the material is systematically investigated. The aim is to achieve low-voltage driving, fast response, and high-stability display functionality in electronic paper devices.

Testing Equipment:
Rheometer, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, Dielectric Constant Tester, Universal Testing Machine, Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), UV-NIR Spectrometer, Function Generator, ATA-1372A Broadband Amplifier, Custom Optical Rail Setup.

Experimental Procedure:
This study focuses on high-dielectric photocurable resin for electronic paper. By constructing an integrated UV curing and nanoimprinting platform, the regulatory effects of polar monomer type and content on the dielectric properties of Polyurethane Acrylate (PUA) were systematically verified. The structure-property relationships among rheological, optical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the material were investigated. The enhancement effect of high dielectric constant on the response speed of electrophoretic display devices was analyzed. Furthermore, microcup structure parameters and driving processes were optimized, successfully achieving the fabrication and performance validation of low-voltage, fast-response electronic paper devices.

Experimental Results:
Driven by a ±30V square wave voltage, the 15% MMA/PUA high-dielectric material system significantly enhanced the electric field strength and increased the migration rate of electrophoretic particles, achieving millisecond-level fast response. The hexagonal microcup structures fabricated via UV nanoimprinting exhibited high pattern fidelity and excellent mechanical stability, maintaining structural integrity even after 720 hours of immersion in isoparaffin. The assembled EPD device demonstrated stable optical contrast and repeatability during 900 seconds of continuous driving tests.
