Abstract:

Polyurethane-acrylate (PUA) hybrid emulsions were crosslinked by aziridine (AZ) derivatives and polycarbodiimide ( PCDI), respectively. FT-IR spectra of the emulsions show that the carboxyls (--COO-) in PUA react with AZ and PCDI in the crosslinking process. Test results of PUA film properties indicate that AZ greatly improves the water-, solvent- and pollution- resistance due to the increase of the gel content and its hardness, especially at a AZ-to-carboxyl mass ratio of 6. 60 ; and that PCDI remarkably improves the flexibility and freezing-thawing resistance, especially at a PCDI-to-carboxyl mass ratio of 16.67. Moreover, the TG curves show that both AZ and PCDI improve the thermal stability of PUA films.

Key words: polyurethane, acrylate, hybrid emulsion, crosslinking modification, aziridine, polycarbodiimide
