Preparation,characterization, and properties of fluorinated polyurethanes

Novel fluorinated polyurethanes (FPUs) were prepared by living radical polymerization of polyurethanes and hexafluorobutyl acrylate. The structures of the FPUs were characterized by FTIR, ¹H NMR, GPC, DSC, and XPS. The fluorinated polyurethane polymerization was investigated and showed monomer conversion, and molecular weight increased with increasing reaction time. In this way, the fluorine content in polyurethane could be easily adjusted by controlling the content of the fluorinated acrylate monomer. The mechanical evaluation shows that FPUs exhibit good mechanical properties. Morphology of FPU films was observed by scanning electron spectroscopy. The effects of the fluorine content on the surface properties and oxidative stability of FPUs were investigated. FPUs films were devoid of significant surface degradation after immersion in 20% H₂O₂ and 0.1 M CoCl₂ at 37 °C for 5 weeks. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polyurethane (urea)/polyacrylates interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) adhesives for low surface energy materials

On the basis of the polymerization of the acrylate phase catalyzed by the oxidation of trialkylborane at room temperature, a series of polyurethane (urea)/polyacrylates adhesives with interpenetrating polymer network structure (IPNS) was synthesized. The crosslinking polyurethane (urea) phase was synthesized by the reaction between polymer diamine or triol and isocyanate. The resulting IPN adhesives as a function of the polyurethane (urea) or 2‐hydroxylethyl acrylate terminated polyurethane (HEA‐PU) (crosslinking agent of acrylate phase) content were explored. The adhesive morphology took on the IPNS that manifested as a finely dispersed polyurethane (urea) phase in the acrylate phase. Excellent adhesion to low surface energy materials was achieved within a wide range of polyurethane (urea) contents. The IPN adhesives also displayed better flexibility than polyacrylate adhesives with HEA‐PU as a crosslinking agent. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis of Magnetic Nanocomposites Using Amphiphilic Polyurethane Networks

Magnetic nanocomposites with low coercivity and narrow hysteresis loop were prepared from amphiphilic polyurethane networks based on amphiphilic urethane acrylate precursor chains. The photoiniduced curing or coalescence emulsion polymerization of amphiphilic polyurethane precursor chains produced two kinds of polymeric matrices with different microstructure. Polymers prepared by coalescence emulsion polymerization showed a higher loading of FeCl₃ and a greater magnetization value than the corresponding UV‐cured networks.

Frontal free‐radical copolymerization of urethane–acrylates

We report the first synthesis of urethane–acrylate copolymers via free‐radical frontal polymerization. In a typical run, the appropriate amounts of the reactants (urethane–acrylate macromonomer and 2‐hydroxyethyl acrylate) and initiator (ammonium persulfate) were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide. Frontal polymerization was initiated by the heating of the wall of the tube with a soldering iron, and the resultant hot fronts were allowed to self‐propagate throughout the reaction vessel. Once it was initiated, no further energy was required for the polymerization to occur. The dependence of the front velocity and front temperature on the initiator concentration was investigated. The front temperatures were between 55 and 65 °C, depending on the persulfate concentration. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the urethane–acrylate copolymers had higher thermal stability than pure frontally prepared polyurethane. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Semi-interpenetrating polymer networks synthesis by photocrosslinking of acrylic monomers in a polymer matrix

Semi-interpenetrating polymer networks have been obtained by UV-radiation curing of acrylate monomers dispersed in a polymer matrix, using an arylketone as photoinitiator. The polymerization kinetics was studied quantitatively by infrared spectroscopy for the various polymers examined: polyurethane, poly(vinyl chloride), poly(methyl methacrylate). The fastest reaction occurs in PVC films, where UV-curing develops extensively within a fraction of a second, leading to an insoluble and highly resistant material. The functionality of the acrylic monomer has a strong influence on the formulation reactivity, as well as on the mechanical and chemical properties of the final product. In PMMA, the polymerization was shown to continue to proceed efficiently for a few seconds after the UV exposure, even in the presence of air, due to both the high concentration of initiating radicals generated by the intense irradiation and the slow termination processes in solid media. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and Surface Property of Aqueous Fluorine-Containing Polyurethane

A novel aqueous fluorine-containing polyurethane was prepared with a hydrophobic macromonomer of a perfluoroalkyl group. Two representative properties of the polyurethane, initial particle diameter dispersed in water and surface free energy of coating films, were investigated. The macromonomer was synthesized by radical copolymerization of perfluoroalkylethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate with a diol of chain-transfer agent in order to attenuate solubility and hydrophobic property. Anionic aqueous polyurethane was obtained with a good hydrophobic film property by one-step condensation polymerization of the macromonomer with hydrophilic comonomers and successive ionization. The polyurethane showed an initial average diameter of less than 1100 nm in water and surface free energies of less than 19 dyn/cm. The water dispersion property and hydrophobic surface property of the polyurethane can be controlled by controlling the content and hydrophobic property of the macromonomer. The incorporation of the macromonomer in the polyurethane backbone did not show a significant effect on the glass transition temperature, or the softness, of the polyurethane.

Synthesis of hydroxy- and dihydroxy-end-capped poly(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-butyl acrylate)s and their use as reactive stabilizers for the preparation of polyurethane latexes

Well-defined hydroxy end-functionalized poly(n-butyl acrylate)s (PBA-OH and PBA-(OH)₂), were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and used as reactive stabilizers for the preparation of polyurethane in dispersed medium. PBA-OH was obtained by end-capping the growing poly(n-butyl acrylate) chains with allyl alcohol added in excess at the end of the polymerization. The two hydroxyl functions of PBA-(OH)₂ were fixed at one end of the poly(n-butyl acrylate) chains either by initiation or by chain-end functionalization reactions. The latter were protected under the form of cyclic acetal and attached either to the initiator bearing a secondary bromine or to the terminating agent carrying a poorly reactive vinylic unsaturation. PBA-OH and PBA-(OH)₂ have been successfully used as reactive stabilizers (surfmers) to prepare core-shell polyurethane particles in dispersed medium. The final particle size was found to be very much dependent to parameters such as the molar mass, concentration and valence of the reactive stabilizer as well as the manner of addition of the reactants during the procedure.     

Photopolymerization of waterborne polyurethane acrylate dispersions based on hyperbranched aliphatic polyester and properties of the cured films

A series of novel waterborne hyperbranched polyurethane acrylates for aqueous dispersions (WHPUD) based on hydroxy-functionalized hyperbranched aliphatic polyester Boltorn H20 were investigated and used as UV curable oligomers. The aqueous dispersions were electrostatically stabilized with carboxyl groups incorporated into their structures, which were neutralized by triethylamine. The photopolymerization kinetics of these WHPUDs was studied with respect to polymerization rates and unsaturation conversions in the presence of a photoinitiator using differential scanning calorimetry. The polymerization rates of the resins under UV irradiation and the gel contents in the cured films showed an increasing trend with higher concentration of acrylate functionality, which is in favor of the theory of radical chain polymerization. The mechanical and thermal behaviors of UV cured films of aqueous dispersions were evaluated by tensile testing and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The results of DMTA investigations indicated that the glass transition temperature shifted to higher temperature as the content of the hard segment consisting of IPDI-HEA increased. Moreover, the storage modulus and pendulum hardness also increased with increasing the hard segment content. As the degree of neutralization increased, the T_g and tensile strength decreased, whereas, the elongation at break increased.

Novel AB crosslinked polymer networks from telechelic 4‐vinylbenzyl carbamate terminated polyurethanes and different vinyl monomers

Novel AB crosslinked polymer (ABCP) networks were synthesized from telechelic 4‐vinylbenzyl carbamate terminated polyurethanes and monomers such as styrene, 4‐vinylpyridine, methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate. Telechelic 4‐vinylbenzyl carbamate terminated polyurethanes were synthesized from polypropylene glycol‐based NCO‐terminated polyurethane and vinylbenzyl alcohol. Effect of changing the molecular weight of polypropylene glycol on the static and dynamic mechanical properties of ABCP networks from polyurethane‐polymethyl methacrylate was studied in detail. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis results show that polymethyl methacrylate and polystyrene‐based ABCPs have good damping over a broad temperature range. ABCP networks prepared from 4‐vinylbenzyl carbamate terminated polyurethane and different monomers such as methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate and styrene exhibit single tan δ_max value which implies excellent interlocking between the two polymers present in the ABCP networks. Static mechanical studies showed that methyl methacrylate and styrene‐based ABCP networks exhibit better tensile properties compared to other ABCP networks from butyl acrylate and 4‐vinyl pyridine monomers. Thermogravimetric analysis results revealed that the ABCP networks showed an improved thermal stability. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis,morphology, and properties of waterborne m-TMXDI-based anionic polyurethane and hybrids

In this study, waterborne polyurethane (WPU) hybrid emulsions with a weight ratio of 2/1 were prepared by emulsion polymerization using a mixture of styrene (St) and/or butyl acrylate (BA) monomers with WPU dispersion. WPU dispersion was synthesized with isocyanic acid and m-tetramethylxylene diisocyanate (m-TMXDI)-based anionic poly(urethane-urea) dispersions using the prepolymer mixing process. The structures of WPU and hybrids were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The size and morphology of the latex particles were investigated using dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The stability of the emulsions was determined according to their shelf life and particle size using the dispersion analyser LUMiSizer® with STEP?-Technology. The thermal and mechanical properties of these films were examined by thermogravimetric analysis and strain-stress curves.     

Synthesis of Fluorinated Polyurethane/Polyacrylate Hybrid Emulsion Initiated by 60Co γ-Ray and Properties of the Latex Film

Based on the solvent-free method, novel fluorinated polyurethane/polyacrylate hybrid emulsions, dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) as fluorinated monomer, were successfully prepared via emulsion polymerization without traditional emulsifier. For the purpose of increasing the grafting ratio of polyurethane and polyacrylate, ⁶⁰Co γ-ray radiation polymerization had been adopted to enhance the hardness of latex film. The chain structure and polymerization progress were confirmed by the analysis of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The grafting ratio of polymethyl methacrylate and polyurethane was obtained by calculating the ratio of N–H peak integral area and Ph(C=C) peak integral area. The effect of DFMA content on thermal stability, mechanical property and water resistance were investigated systematically by thermal weight loss analysis, tensile strength test, absorbed water ratio and water contact angle.

The effect of various parameters such as the composition and the amount of polyurethane as well as the synthesis process are discussed.     

Renewable epoxidized cardanol‐based acrylate as a reactive diluent for UV‐curable resins

A novel kind of biobased monomer, epoxidized cardanol‐based acrylate (ECA), was successfully synthesized from cardanol via acrylation and epoxidization. The chemical structure was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance. Then, the ECA was employed to produce UV‐curable films and coatings copolymerized with castor oil‐based polyurethane acrylate. Compared to coatings from petroleum‐based diluent hydroxyethyl acrylate‐based castor oil‐based polyurethane acrylate resins, ECA‐based biomaterials exhibited a little inferior dilution ability but overcome the drawback of high volumetric shrinkage with a special lower value. Moreover, ultimate properties of the UV‐cured biomaterials such as thermal, mechanical, coating, swelling, and hydrophobic properties were investigated. The UV‐curing behavior was investigated using real‐time IR, and the overall double bond conversion was more than 90%. This biobased UV‐curable cardanol‐based diluent shows a promise in “green + green” materials technologies.
