An oligomer bearing at least one crosslinkable ethylenic unsaturation and at least one ionic bond, comprises in its structure at least one aminoacrylate group and at least one tertiary amine in a form salified with at least one carboxylic acid. Also described are a process for preparing a solution of the oligomer in a reactive diluent, a crosslinkable composition comprising the oligomer, the use thereof as binder in crosslinkable compositions for temporary-use water-removable materials in coatings, hydrogels and 3D object printing, and the crosslinked material which results from polymerizing the oligomer. As a temporary-use material, the cured oligomer can be easily removed after a temporary function, by simple cleaning with water and optionally at a suitable temperature greater than the glass transition temperature of the crosslinked product.

A method of forming a photo-cured layer on a substrate can include applying a first photocurable composition overlying a first region of the substrate and a second photocurable composition overlying a second region of the substrate and photo-curing the applied compositions, wherein the first region is a center region of the substrate and the second region is an edge region of the substrate, and the second photocurable composition has a higher vapor pressure than the first photocurable composition. The method can have the advantage that the forming of an extrusion within the edge region of the photo-cured layer can be avoided or being kept very low.
