大分子不饱和单体法合成具有核壳结构的丙烯酸酯/聚氨酯乳液及表征

采用丙烯酸酯（AC）对水性聚氨酯（WPU）进行改性,合成了接枝型丙烯酸酯/聚氨酯(PUA)复合乳液。 随着共聚物中丙烯酸酯质量分数的增加,乳液外观由透明变为不透明,乳液粒径随之增大、分布变宽。 TEM显示,PUA乳胶粒子呈现清晰的核壳结构,且形态规整,粒径分布在60~120 nm之间。 FTIR测试表明,随着丙烯酸酯质量分数的增加,聚氨酯(PU)硬段氢键化作用先增强后减弱,硬段的有序度逐渐降低。 DSC分析表明,当AC的质量分数低于75%时,PU、聚丙烯酸酯(PA)两组分相容性较好,只出现一个玻璃化转变温度,并且随着PA质量分数的增加逐渐升高。 PA质量分数的增加,使胶膜的最大热失重速率从363 ℃提高至412 ℃,吸水率从11.3%降低至5.7%,弹性模量从16.4 MPa提高至47.6 MPa,拉伸强度从9.0 MPa提高至23.7 MPa,断裂伸长率从365%提高至408%,同时乳液的粘度下降,干燥时间变短,胶膜的附着力变好。     

聚醚酮酮(PEKK)/4,4''''-二苯氧基二苯砜(DPODPS)多嵌段共聚物的合成与性能

采用溶液缩聚法由酰氯端基聚醚酮酮(PEKK)齐聚物和4,4′-二苯氧基二苯砜(DPODPS)制备了PEKK/DPODPS多嵌段共聚物,用DSC、TGA等方法对共聚物进行了表征和性能测试.结果表明,随着共聚物中DPODPS含量的增加,共聚物的熔融温度逐渐降低,而其玻璃化转变温度则逐渐升高.当DPODPS质量分数在32.63%～40.73%范围内时,所得共聚物的Tg为185～193℃,比纯PEKK的Tg高出20～28℃;其Tm为322～346℃,比纯PEKK的Tm降低35～59℃,这既保持了纯PEKK的耐热性,又改善了熔融加工性能.该组成范围内的共聚物的拉伸强度(σt)为86.6～84.2 MPa,拉伸模量(M)为3.1～3.4 GPa,断裂伸长率(ε)为18.5%～20.3%.

Structure and properties of polyurethane/polyacrylate latex interpenetrating networks hybrid emulsions

Some new kinds of novel polyurethane (PU)/polyacrylate (PA) latex interpenetrating networks (LIPNs) were synthesized. Firstly PU dispersions were synthesized by self-emulsification polymerization. Then PU/PA LIPNs using PU dispersion as the seed were prepared by soap free emulsion polymerization. The effects of different PU/PA ratios, the blending method and the NCO/OH molar ratio of PU components on PU/PA LIPNs performance were also investigated. The structure and properties of PU/PA LIPNs such as mechanical properties, particle size, morphology of the surface were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. It was found that PU/PA LIPNs can markedly improve the water resistance and the mechanical properties of PU latex much more than those of PU/PA physical blends due to a great deal of interpenetrating and entangling between PU and PA latex. Moreover, the particle size of PU/PA LIPNs is related to the PA content and NCO/OH molar ratio of PU components: the higher the NCO/OH molar ratio in PU dispersions, the larger is the particle size of PU/PA LIPNs, and the average particle size of PU/PA LIPNs becomes larger with an increase in PA content.     

The grafting of phthalic acid onto polyurethane copolymer and its impact on the surface hydrophilicity,tensile stress,and shape recovery properties

Phthalic acid (PA) was grafted onto polyurethane (PU) in the PA series due to its rigid aromatic structure and carboxyl groups, but PA was simply blended with PU in the control CPA series. The cross-link density and solution viscosity of the PA series notably increased with increasing PA content, and the same parameters of the CPA series did not increase. The maximum tensile stress of the PA series sharply increased due to the chemical cross-linking of the grafted PA, and the tensile strain at break slowly decreased with increasing PA content. The shape recovery of the PA series at 10?°C rapidly increased upon the grafting of PA; however, that of the CPA series decreased with increasing PA content. The hydrophilicity of PU was enhanced by the grafting of PA based on the water contact angle and water vapor permeation results. The low temperature flexibility of the PA series improved more than that of the CPA series under freezing conditions with increasing PA content due to the chemical cross-linking and steric and electrostatic repulsion between PU moieties. Overall, the grafted PA definitely increased the maximum tensile stress, shape recovery, and low temperature flexibility of PU.     

Preparation of high‐temperature polyurethane by alloying with reactive polyamide

A series of novel poly(urethane amide) films were prepared by the reaction of a polyurethane (PU) prepolymer and a soluble polyamide (PA) containing aliphatic hydroxyl groups in the backbone. The PU prepolymer was prepared by the reaction of polyester polyol and 2,4‐tolylenediisocyanate and then was end‐capped with phenol. Soluble PA was prepared by the reaction of 1‐(m‐aminophenyl)‐2‐(p‐aminophenyl)ethanol and terephthaloyl chloride. The PU prepolymer and PA were blended, and the clear, transparent solutions were cast on glass substrates; this was followed by thermal treatments at various temperatures to produce reactions between the isocyanate group of the PU prepolymer and the hydroxyl group of PA. The opaque poly(urethane amide) films showed various properties, from those of plastics to those of elastomers, depending on the ratio of the PU and PA components. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed two glass‐transition temperatures (T_g's), a lower T_g due to the PU component and a higher T_g due to the PA component, suggesting that the two polymer components were phase‐separated. The rubbery plateau region of the storage modulus for the elastic films was maintained up to about 250 °C, which is considerably higher than for conventional PUs. Tensile measurements of the elastic films of 90/10 PU/PA showed that the elongation was as high as 347%. This indicated that the alloying of PU with PA containing aliphatic hydroxyl groups in the backbone improved the high‐temperature properties of PU and, therefore, enhanced the use temperature of PU. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Incorporation of polydimethylsiloxane into polyurethanes and characterization of copolymers

Novel copolymers of polyurethane (PU) were prepared by direct transurethanetion reaction of a commercial PU with polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS, MW 1000, 5000, and 10,000) containing hydroxyl end-groups. Transurethanetions with different mass ratios of hydrophobic PDMS to hydrophilic PU chains (PDMS1000–PU: 43:57, 67:33, 71:29, and 80:20; PDMS5000–PU: 37:63, and 51:49; PDMS10000–PU: 51:49) were carried out in solution at 65 and 100 °C. In catalyzed reactions, dibutyltin dilaurate (SnC₃₂H₆₄O₄) was used to promote bond breaking in the PU chain and accelerate the reaction between hydroxyl end-groups of PDMS and regenerated isocyanates of PU. The chemical structures of the prepared copolymers were comprehensively characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopies. According to elemental analysis, the content of PDMS varied between 3 wt.% and 16 wt.%, and results obtained from the ¹H NMR spectroscopy were in good agreement with the results of elemental analysis. Increased length of the hydrophobic chain increased the content of PDMS in the copolymer. The GPC results showed that molar masses of the PUPDMS copolymers were lower than the molar mass of the starting PU. The glass transitions (T_g) of the copolymers were shifted to lower temperature as compared with T_g of the starting polyurethane. ATR FTIR spectroscopy showed the surface of the copolymer films to be enriched with siloxane groups and, according to electron microscopy, it was textured with microspheres. The static contact angles for copolymer films measured with deionized water ranged from 94° to 117°. The different structural, thermal and surface properties of the PUPDMS copolymers as compared with PU indicated that transurethanetion had taken place.     

Grafting of polyamide 6 by the anionic polymerization of ε‐caprolactam from an isocyanate bearing polystyrene backbone

The grafting of polyamide 6 (PA6) onto polystyrene (PS) can rely on the use of a copolymer of styrene (St) and 3‐isopropenyl‐α, α‐dimethylbenzene isocyanate (TMI), PS‐co‐TMI, to activate the polymerization of ε‐caprolactam (CL) in the presence of sodium ε‐caprolactam (NaCL) as an anionic catalyst. This article is aimed at answering the following key questions. First, do all the isocyanate moieties of the PS‐co‐TMI participate in the activation of the polymerization of CL? Second, what are the composition of the resulting polymer product and the structure of the resulting graft copolymer? The results show that the isocyanate moieties had all participated in the activation of the polymerization, implying that each isocyanate moiety has led to the formation of a PA6 graft. The as‐polymerized product was composed of a pure PS‐g‐PA6 graft copolymer, homo‐PA6, and unreacted CL. Moreover, when the composition of a PS‐co‐TMI/CL/NaCL system was fixed, the mass ratio between the PA6 grafts and PS backbone of the pure PS‐g‐PA6 graft copolymer was almost a constant and was almost independent of its molar mass. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polylactic acid-based polyurethane/polyamide 6,12 and graphene nanocomposite: Structure and physical property study for packaging application

This effort reports on novel polylactic acid-derived polyurethane (PU) and polyamide 6,12 (PA6,12)-based blends and graphene-reinforced nanocomposite. PU/PA6,12 (50:50) blend was opted as matrix based on molecular weight and shear stress performance. PU/PA6,12 with 5?wt% graphene (PU/PA6,12/graphene 3) showed improved T₀ and T_max of 515 and 541°C relative to neat blend. PU/PA6,12/graphene 3 also revealed significantly high tensile (53?MPa) and flexural strength (1,711?MPa). For Eschericia coli, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas bacterial strains, nanocomposite with higher graphene loading produced significant inhibitory effects. Novel nanocomposites displayed fine antimicrobial and barrier properties against O₂ and H₂O to be used as a packaging material.     

Probing surface adhesion forces of Enterococcus faecalis to medical-grade polymers using atomic force microscopy

The aim of this study was to compare the initial adhesion forces of the uropathogen Enterococcus faecalis with the medical-grade polymers polyurethane (PU), polyamide (PA), and poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE). To quantify the cell-substrate adhesion forces, a method was developed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) in liquid that allows for the detachment of individual live cells from a polymeric surface through the application of increasing force using unmodified cantilever tips. Results show that the lateral force required to detach E. faecalis cells from a substrate differed depending on the nature of the polymeric surface: a force of 19 +/- 4 nN was required to detach cells from PU, 6 +/- 4 nN from PA, and 0.7 +/- 0.3 nN from PTFE. Among the unfluorinated polymers (PU and PA), surface wettability was inversely proportional to the strength of adhesion. AFM images also demonstrated qualitative differences in bacterial adhesion; PU was covered by clusters of cells with few cell singlets present, whereas PA was predominantly covered by individual cells. Moreover, extracellular material could be observed on some clusters of PU-adhered cells as well as in the adjacent region surrounding cells adhered on PA. E. faecalis adhesion to the fluorinated polymer (PTFE) showed different characteristics; only a few individual cells were found, and bacteria were easily damaged, and thus detached, by the tip. This work demonstrates the utility of AFM for measurement of cell-substrate lateral adhesion forces and the contribution these forces make toward understanding the initial stages of bacterial adhesion. Further, it suggests that initial adhesion can be controlled, through appropriate biomaterial design, to prevent subsequent formation of aggregates and biofilms.     

Synthesis and characterization of bismaleimide–polyurethane crosslinked copolymers

A series of novel crosslinked copolymers of bismaleimide (BMI) and polyurethanes (PU) were prepared by direct copolymerization of BMI monomer and urethane-modified bismaleimide (UBMI). The copolymers were characterized by FT-IR and solid state ¹³C-NMR. The reaction rate of the BMI monomer can be significantly increased by copolymerization with UBMI. The crosslinked copolymers show good mechanical properties and high thermal stability. Studies on glass transition temperatures and dynamic mechanical properties indicate that the copolymer is a homogeneous system as the polyester-type PU employed. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the copolymer illustrated a one-phase structure of the cured resins when the polyester-type PU was incorporated. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
