The novel ultraviolet curable waterborne polyurethane (UVWPU) was synthesized by using iso-phorone diisocyanate (IPDI),polyethylene glycol (PEG,Mw=600),α,α-dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA) and bisphenol A.The rigid moiety was introduced into the polyurethane main chain to improve the heat resistance.The copolymer structure was confirmed by FT-IR.The effect of the molar ratio of IPDI/ PEG600,dosage of DMPA and bisphenol A on the properties of latex and coating film were investigated.The results show that the storage stability of emulsion was longer than 6 months when the DMPA dosage was above 5.76%.With the DMPA dosage from 5.76%to 9.04%,the average particle diameter was decreased from 90.16 to 43.30μm.The UVWPU film exhibits good appearance and excellent properties when the molar ratio of IPDI/PEG600 was more than 3.4.The properties of the modified film were as follows: H of pencil hardness,1 of adhesion,5%weight-loss temperature at 233℃The temperature of 5%loss weight was 14℃ and the Tg was 7.07℃ higher than the UVWPU without using bisphenol A.The heat resistance,pencil hardness and adhesion of the film were improved by using bisphenol A as the chain extender.No change was found after placed the modified film at 100℃ with 200h.
