The thermosetting resin composition according to an embodiment of the present invention contains a component (A) which is a novolac vinyl ester resin having a hydroxyl group and an ethylenically unsaturated group in the molecule, a component (B) which is an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and a component (D) which is a polyisocyanate compound, wherein the component (A) has a hydroxyl value of 30-150 mgKOH/g, and the mole number of the hydroxyl group with respect to the mole number of the ethylenically unsaturated group per gram of the component (A) ((the amount of the hydroxyl group [mol/g])/(the amount of the ethylenically unsaturated group [mol/g])) is 0.1-0.8.

The present disclosure is drawn to a reactive polyurethane dispersion including a polymer strand having a polymer backbone that has two ends terminating at a first capping unit and a second capping unit. The polymer backbone can include polymerized monomers including a reactive diol and a diisocyanate. The reactive diol can be an acrylate-containing diol, a methacrylate-containing diol, a styrene-containing diol, or combination thereof. The first capping unit can be a styrene-containing monoalcohol reacted with an isocyanate group of the diisocyanate. The second capping unit can be an ionic stabilizing group.

A radiation curable polyurethane resin includes an ionic group, a polyalkylene oxide in a side chain thereof, and a (meth)acrylate or (meth)acrylamide having a hydroxyl functional group. The polyurethane resin is obtainable by reacting a polyester polyol, a polyether diol, a polyol containing an ionic group, a (meth)acrylate or (meth)acrylamide having a hydroxyl functional group, and a polyisocyanate. The polyester polyol is obtained by reacting a polycarboxylic acid and a polyol. The radiation curable polyurethane resin can be used as binder in an aqueous ink jet ink.
