Abstract: A coating was applied on the surface of PS-HI samples and cured with ultraviolet irradiation.The changes in the mechanical properties of PS-HD were studied. Compared with the properties of neat PS-HD, the flexural strength and flexural modulus slightly increased, however, the tensile strength, impact strength, and elongation at break decreased by 8 .2%,11.0%,and 85.1%,respectively. Such deterioration in properties may be caused by stress cracking, degradation,crosslinking, and so on. the elongation at break was most sensible to the irradiation times.

Key words: ultraviolet light curable coating, high impact polystyrene, mechanical property
