A curable composition provides, upon curing, an adhesive made from energy-curable compounds having one set of adhesive properties (i.e., peel, tack and shear) after curing and a second set of adhesive properties after being subjected to some external stimuli, such as heat, light, chemicals or mechanical stresses. The curable composition comprises at least one urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer having a structure comprising: a1) at least one polyol backbone segment having at least one reacted end; a2) at least one reacted polyisocyanate forming a urethane linkage at the at least one reacted end of each of the at least one polyol backbone segment and a3) at least one blocking end group reacted with the at least one reacted polyisocyanate to form a reversible bond and bearing a (meth)acrylate group and a chain terminator or extender.

A polymer that can be used as a release coating or a release agent in an LAB, either of which can be provided in VOC-free form and which exhibits excellent release even after aging under high humidity, includes mer that contain pendent groups that include carbamate functionalities.

The invention relates to a urethane oligomer which according to a) or b) as follows, has: a) at least two backbone residues R issued from a polyisocyanate without the NCO groups, linked between them with a diol residue R.sub.B (diol without the two OH groups) by two urethane bonds (NHCOO) and each of said backbone residues R carrying (or linked to) at least two urethane segments each one of which, contains at least one terminal allyl group, preferably from 1 to 5 terminal allyl groups, b) at least one backbone residue R issued from a polyisocyanate without the NCO groups, said backbone residue R carrying (or linked to) at least two urethane segments each linked to R by one urethane bond with at least one urethane segment (arm) containing at least one terminal allyl group (preferably from 1 to 5 terminal allyl groups), and at least one urethane segment (arm) containing at least one terminal (meth)acrylate group (preferably from 1 to 5 terminal (meth)acrylate groups). The present invention also relates to a curable composition containing the urethane oligomer, the method of preparing the urethane oligomer, and the use of the urethane oligomer or the curable composition in the presence of air, for good surface properties by reducing oxygen inhibition in coatings, adhesives, sealants or in resin matrix.
