UV curable waterborne polyurethane acrylate dispersions based on hyperbranched aliphatic polyester: effect of molecular structure on physical and thermal properties

A novel waterborne hyperbranched polyurethane acrylate for aqueous dispersions (WHPUDs) based on hydroxy‐functionalized hyperbranched aliphatic polyester Boltorn? H20 was investigated. The effects of structural composition and crosslinking density have been studied in terms of swellability by water, thermal degradation, viscosity changes as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) morphology. The swell ratio showed an increasing trend with the higher concentration of ionic group, which is due to the increased total surface area of particles. The results of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for cured WHPUD films indicated good thermal stability with no appreciable weight loss until 200°C. The activation energies were evaluated and were found in the range 154–186 kJ mol^?1. It was observed that an increase in hard segment content provoked the increases in thermal degradation temperature and activation energy of waterborne dispersions. The transmission electron photographs revealed that the average particle sizes of aqueous dispersions were in the range 30–125 nm. Owing to the enlargement of the stabilization site, the particle size decreased as the content of carboxyl group and degree of neutralization increased. The viscosity of WHPUDs increased rapidly with increasing the degree of neutralization. Moreover, water showed a favorable viscosity reduction effect. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and Characterization of a New UV Cross‐linkable Waterborne Siloxane‐polyurethane Dispersion

A new cross‐linkable waterborne siloxane‐polyurethane dispersion (PEDA‐SiPU) was synthesized by incorporating the acrylate groups into the side chain of the polyurethane using the pentaerythritol diacrylate(PEDA) and introducing polysiloxane groups into the soft segment of the polyurethane using dihydroxybutyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). They can form the cross‐linking structure by UV radiation in the presence of a photo‐initiator. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to identify the chain structure of PEDA‐SiPU. The effect of the PDMS content and the PEDA content on the C?C conversion behaviors under UV irradiation was investigated. Water resistance and the mechanical properties of the UV cured films were also studied. Through the controlling of suitable content of PDMS and PEDA introduced in the chain, the obtained PEDA‐SiPU films were proved to possess both good water resistance and mechanical properties.     

Effect of the content of urea groups on the particle size in water-borne polyurethane or polyurethane/polyacrylate dispersions

A series of anionic water-borne polyurethane and polyurethane/polyacrylate dispersions and their paint films was prepared. It was found by using TEM that there were three phases in the polyurethane/polyacrylate film, i.e. the hard segment-rich phase and the soft segment-rich phase of polyurethane, and the polyacrylate phase. By increasing the content of urea groups, the glass transition temperature of the soft segments and the dissociation temperature of the long-distance ordering of the hard segments were raised. This should mean that the motion of macromolecular chains was hindered by increasing the content of urea groups, and the hydrophilic carboxyl groups embedded initially in macromolecular coils could thus not transfer easily to the particle surface, which resulted in a greater average particle size in the dispersion.     

Superhydrophobic polymer‐particle composite films produced using various particle sizes

Hydrophilic alumina (Al₂O₃) nanoparticles (25, 35, and 150 nm) are dispersed in different concentrations in solutions of a commercial hydrophobic poly(alkyl siloxane) (Silres BS‐290), and the suspensions are sprayed on glass surfaces. Static contact angles (θ_S), measured on surfaces of siloxane‐nanoparticle composite films that were prepared from dilute dispersions, increase rapidly with particle concentration. Composite films prepared from concentrated dispersions exhibit a maximum, constant θ_S (at saturation θ_S is 160°), which is not affected by the size of the particles. These films exhibit also very small contact angle hysteresis (5°), which is also independent of the particle size. Consequently, the same superhydrophobic character can be induced in siloxane films using nanoparticles, which can range from a few up to several tenths of nanometers. However, the particle size and more precisely the particle specific surface area affects dramatically the minimum critical particle concentration, which must be used in the dispersions to induce superhydrophobicity on the surface of the composite films, that is, to achieve θ_S = 150°. It is shown that critical particle concentration decreases exponentially with specific surface area. This result can be important for manufacturers of superhydrophobic surfaces who are interested in having a good control on the wettability of the composite films.

Phosphated polyurethane dispersions: synthesis,emulsification mechanisms and the effect of the neutralising base

Phosphate-containing polyester macroglycols with different phosphate contents were synthesised from a phosphorus-containing monomer, a dicarboxylic acid and a diol. The macroglycols were then used as a soft segment for the preparation of segmented polyurethane dispersions. Aqueous dispersions were made by phase inversion from the organic solvent after the carboxylic acid groups were neutralized. Phase inversion was found to take place in three distinct stages. The stability and particle size of the polyurethane dispersions were dependent of the amount of carboxylic acid groups present, the degree of neutralisation and the neutralising cations. Metal-neutralized polyurethane dispersions gave smaller particle sizes and the corresponding films showed higher swelling in water due to the ease of hydration. The particle size and stability of the tertiary amine-neutralised polyurethanes were found to be related to the water solubility of the amines at a given dispersion temperature. Particle size increases for the higher alkyl chain neutalising amines due to the poor hydration of the corresponding cations.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Silicone Modified Polyurethane Surfactant Useable at High Temperature

A series of novel silicone modified polyurethane (Si-PU) surfactants were successfully synthesized by using hydroxypropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HPMS), polyethylene glycol (PEG), dimethylolpropionic acid (DMPA) and isophoronediisocyanate (IPDI). The chemical structure of the surfactant was confirmed by FTIR and ¹H-NMR. TEM photographs showed that the micelles of the Si-PU surfactants dispersed in aqueous solution were spherical with the particle size in the range of 100–400 nm. Surface tension measurements indicated that these surfactants had low surface tension to 29.9 mN·m^?1and a definite critical micelle concentration to, approximately 5.0×10^?4–7.5×10^?4mol·L^?1. When the content of HPMS was 20 wt%, the surfactant's, emulsifying performance was superior to the traditionally available Span80/Tween80 mixed emulsifiers. In addition to that, no phase transition temperature was detected from 20°C to 90°C by fluorescence probe and DSC measurements, confirming the high thermal stability of the micelles.     

UV-curable low surface energy fluorinated polycarbonate-based polyurethane dispersion

UV-curable low surface energy fluorinated polycarbonate-based polyurethane dispersions were synthesized by incorporating a hydroxy-terminated perfluoropolyether (PFPE) into the soft segment of polyurethane. The effects of the PFPE content on the UV-curing behavior, physical, surface, thermal properties and refractive index were investigated. The UV-curing behavior was analyzed by photo-differential scanning calorimetry. The surface free energy of the UV-cured film, which is related to the water or oil repellency, was calculated from contact angle measurements using the Lewis acid-base three liquids method. The surface free energy decreased significantly with increasing fluorine concentration because PFPE in the soft segment was tailored to the surface and produced a UV-cured film with a hydrophobic fluorine enriched surface, as confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. With increasing the fluorine content, the refractive indices of UV-cured films decreased. However, the UV-curing rate and final conversion was decreased with increasing contents of PFPE, which resulted in the decrease of the glass transition temperature (T(g)), crosslink density, tensile strength and surface hardness.     

Synthesis and characterization of polyurethane ionomers with trimellitic anhydride and dimethylol propionic acid for waterborne self‐emulsifying dispersions

A new synthesis for polyurethane dispersions was developed using both trimellitic anhydride alone and in combination with dimethylol propionic acid as internal emulsifiers. During synthesis of the polyurethane ionomer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used for monitoring and characterizing both the polyaddition step and the anhydride ring opening process. Depending on the synthesis route, the carboxylic groups are either located at the end of the polymer backbone or additionally statistically distributed within the polymer chain itself. The effect of the carboxylic group's position on the chemical and physical properties, with particular reference to particle size and pH, was analyzed. Three different polyols were used to synthesize the polyurethane dispersions. Driven by the current trend to find renewable alternatives to petrochemical‐based raw materials, one bio‐based polyol was included for the synthesis. The effect of the different structures of the polyurethane dispersions (petrochemical‐ or bio‐based polyols) on mechanical properties and thermal behavior was investigated. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Monocomponent Waterborne Polyurethane Adhesives: Influence of the Crosslinking Agent on Their Properties

To improve the properties of the monocomponent waterborne polyurethane (WPU) adhesives, a series of crosslinked WPU were prepared with trifunctional polyester polyol (P210) as crosslinking agent. The crosslinked WPU dispersions and their films were characterized by conventional methods. The adhesion property of the samples was measured from T-peel test of leather/WPU adhesive/leather joints. Compared with the linear one, the crosslinked WPU exhibited low viscosity, small particle size, and low surface tension. For crosslinked films, the thermal stability, water resistance and mechanical properties were remarkably enhanced. The experimental data of T-peel test indicated that the adhesive strength significantly increased to 4.8 KN/m by crosslinking up to the optimum crosslink index of 1.2 and then showed a small decrease with excess.     

Properties of acrylic–polyurethane hybrid emulsions synthesized by the semibatch emulsion copolymerization of acrylates using different polyurethane particles

Aqueous acrylic–polyurethane hybrid emulsions were prepared by the semibatch emulsion copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate in the presence of eight polyurethane dispersions. The polyurethane dispersions were synthesized with isophorone diisocyanate, 1000 and 2000 molecular weight polyester polyols, 1000 molecular weight polyether polyol, butanediol, and dimethylol propionic acid. Acrylic monomers were added in the monomer emulsion feed. We studied the effect of the use of different polyurethane seed particles and the effect of different weight ratios of methyl methacrylate to butyl acrylate on the emulsion properties, microphase structure, and mechanical properties of hybrid films. The average particle size and distribution were determined by photon correlation spectroscopy. The rheological properties of polyurethane dispersions and hybrid emulsions were tested under destructive conditions by an examination of flow curves and under nondestructive conditions of oscillatory shear in a range of linear viscoelastic responses. Differential scanning calorimetry was performed to characterize the thermal‐response properties of polymeric films. The relative average molecular weights were determined by gel permeation chromatography. The interactions between the acrylic and polyurethane components in hybrid particles and particle structure were studied with infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Mechanical properties such as the Koenig hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young's modulus were measured. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nanosilica-reinforced UV-cured polyurethane dispersion

UV-curable polyurethane dispersions (UV–PUDs) have been reinforced with hydrophobic and hydrophilic modified silicas, respectively, and the effects have been studied with dispersion and dispersion cast films. It has been found that particle size increased and water swell decreased, tensile modulus, strength, and thermal stability increased with the addition and increasing amount of silica. These effects were more pronounced with the hydrophilic modified one than the hydrophobic modified one.     

A study of fluorescent‐dye polyurethane ionomer 1

The reaction of toluene diisocyanate with 4‐hydroxycoumarin or 7‐hydroxycoumarin or dicumarol and other additives to form the structure of fluorescent‐dye polyurethane ionomer, which has been successfully synthesized at our laboratary, is demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared spectra. The fluorescence study of coumarins present in N,N‐dimethyl acetamide indicates that these coumarins form aggregations and exhibit fluorescence at around 304 nm. The experimental results show that the surface tension of 4‐hydroxycoumarin or 7‐hydroxycoumarin in N,N‐dimethylacetamide appears to decrease with increasing concentration of 4‐hydroxycoumarin or 7‐hydroxycoumarin. On the other hand, the surface tension of dicumarol in N,N‐dimethylacetamide increases with increasing concentration of dicumarol, indicating that increased hydrophilic groups of dicumarol adsorbed at the surface of N,N‐dimethylacetamide become even more ordered. For fluorescent‐dye polyurethane ionomer in aqueous solution, the number average particle sizes are seen to increase with an increase of coumarin concentration. Since the intermolecular interaction between hydrophilic groups of fluorescent‐dye polyurethane ionomer molecules themselves may become strong, therefore, the free volume of these ionomer molecules are considered to be increased significantly. This may be why the number average particle size becomes large. For self‐cured films made by fluorescent‐dye polyurethane ionomer, the tensile strength is seen to increase with increasing concentration of coumarin, as a result of increased crosslinking resulting from increased hydrophilic groups of coumarins attached to the backbone of the ionomer molecules. The elongation of self‐cured film made by dicumarol‐based polyurethane iomomer, on the other hand, decreases with increasing concentration of dicumarol. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation,Characterization, and Property Analysis of Environmentally Friendly Waterborne Polyurethane-Acrylate

Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) prepolymer was first prepared based on isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), polyether polyol (NJ-210), dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA), and hydroxyethyl methyl acrylate (HEMA) via an in situ method. A series of waterborne polyurethane-acrylate (WPUA) dispersions were obtained with different proportions of acrylate (butyl acryolate and ethyl acrylate) and initiating agent by in situ dispersion technique. The structures and thermal properties of prepared WPU and WPUA were analyzed and characterized with FT-IR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and DSC. Performance of the emulsion and film was studied by means of apparent viscosity, particle size and polydispersity, surface tension, and mechanical properties. The results indicated that the particle sizes of the WPUA dispersions were larger than those of the pure WPU and the solvent resistance and mechanical properties of WPUA films were improved over those of the WPU film. The film had the greatest hardness and the least water absorption when the BA:EA mass ratio was 50:50. The obtained WPUAs have great potential application such as coatings, leather finishing, adhesives, sealants, plastic coatings, and wood finishes.     

Properties of Aqueous Polyurethane Dispersion Modified by Epoxide Resin and Their Use as Adhesive

The aqueous polyurethane hybrid dispersion modified by the epoxy resin were synthesized using 1,4-butanediol ( BDO ) and dimethylolpropionic(DMPA) as chain extenders. A kind of automobile interior decoration adhesive was made by the modified hybrid dispersions. Effects of the content and the kinds of epoxide resin on the properties of dispersions and dispersion-cast films such as appearance, pot life, viscosity, particle size, molecular mass, hardness, swelling in water, contact angle, strength of stress, elongation at break, and other mechanical properties were studied. At the same time the effect of the E20 content on the peel strength of the adhesive for several automobile interior decoration substrates such as rubber/wood, poly(vinyl chloride)/wood; leather/wood, sponge/wood was investigated. The experimental results show that when the epoxy resin E20 content was 8%, the modified polyurethane hybrid dispersions possess better properties and the adhesive made by the modified dispersions posses better adhesion for automobile interior decoration substrates. The stress-strain curve of the modified aqueous polyurethane hybrid dispersions films shows the modified aqueous cast films possess better rigidity and toughness.     

Synthesis of a biobased waterborne polyurethane with epichlorohydrin-modified lignin

Abstract

A series of lignin-based waterborne polyurethanes (ELWPUs) are prepared using epichlorohydrin-modified lignin (ELG) as the biobased component. The effect of ELG dosage on the performance of the dispersions was studied by particle sizing. The morphology, crystallinity, thermal behavior, water resistance and mechanical properties of the films were investigated as well. The results show that the particle size of ELWPU dispersions increased with the addition of ELG. Furthermore, the ELWPU exhibited noticeable thermal stability, desired mechanical properties and water resistance as the tensile strength of ELWPU film containing 0.25?wt% ELG increased to 40.6?MPa from 15.2?MPa and the water absorption rate decreased from 20.1 to 12.4% compared to the non-modified waterborne polyurethane. The ELG played an important role in improving the properties of the biomass-based materials.

Hydrolytic stability of nano-particle polyurethane dispersions: Implications to their long-term use

Nano-particle segmented polyurethane anionomer dispersions with ions either on the soft segment or on the hard segment were synthesised using 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid and 5-sodiosulfo-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid as ionic centre. The resulting polyurethane dispersions were characterized for their particle size, reduced viscosity and hydrolytic stability in the presence of the aqueous phase during storage. At similar ionic contents, the polyurethanes that contain ionic groups on their soft segment had smaller particle sizes than those that contain ionic groups on the hard segment due to the effectiveness of the sulphonate ionic groups incorporated in the former. The reduced viscosity of the anionomers in dimethylformamide (DMF) showed typical polyelectrolyte effect that can be eliminated by the addition of LiBr. The hydrolysis study conducted over 2-years indicated that polyurethanes in which the ions were located on the hard segment had better hydrolytic stability in aqueous environment than those with ions located on the soft segment. We attributed this due to the fact that unsolvated hydrophobic polyester segments were packed in the interior of the particles while the strongly hydrated urethane segments with mutually repelling carboxylate ions were situated on the outside surface of the particles. The polyester groups prone to hydrolytic attack were thus protected against hydrolysis as effectively as in the dry solid form.

The Preparation and Properties of Polyurethane/Nano-CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Hybrid Aqueous Coating

To improve the ultraviolet resistance and thermal stability of waterborne polyurethane, stable waterborne polyurethane/nano-cerium oxide hybrid dispersions were obtained by adding nano-cerium colloids to previously synthesized waterborne polyurethane dispersions. The dried ceria colloid was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The XRD results indicated the prepared CeO₂ was a face-centered cubic structure. The prepared polyurethane/CeO₂ dispersions were studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–Vis spectroscopy and accelerated weathering test. The dried polyurethane/CeO₂ films were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The DLS analysis indicated the particles average diameter of hybrids emulsion was bigger than that of the pure waterborne polyurethane dispersion. TG analysis and accelerated weathering test suggested the hybrid latex films had better thermal stability and mechanical properties than those of the pure waterborne polyurethane. The UV–Vis absorption capacity of the dispersions prepared was increasing with the amount of CeO₂ colloid increased.
