Most critical experimental conditions have been optimized first by mixture experimental design methodology prior to real experiment operations. Afterward high-solid and low-viscosity hydroxy acrylic resin was synthesized under the optimized experimental conditions. According to a series of characterization methods including rheology, IR, TGA, addition of functional monomer, TBCHA, combined with optimized experiment conditions can reduce the viscosity of as-synthesized resin significantly at high solid content.
