Abstract

A light-cured anti-slip structure includes an anti-slip layer fixed onto a substrate surface. The anti-slip layer is composed of the light-curing composite, wherein the light-curing composite includes 50 wt % to 100 wt % of photopolymer, 0.5 wt % to 20 wt % of photoinitiator, 5 wt % to 50 wt % of thermosetting polymer, less than or equal to 5 wt % of thermal curing initiator, which are mixed. The photoinitiator receives light energy to trigger a light-curing reaction of the photopolymer. Simultaneously the photoinitiator releases heat to activate the thermal curing initiator, the thermal curing initiator induces a curing reaction of the thermosetting polymer to form the anti-slip layer.
