Preparation and Characterization of Nano-Silica Modified Waterborne Polyurethane Dispersion
By using a combination process of precipitation and extraction and modification by silane coupling agent A174,a 15% nano-silica polyether diol dispersion was prepared,which was directly used as raw material to react with polyether diol (poly(propylene glycol)),isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI),2,2-Dimethylol propionicacid (DMPA),trimethylol propane (TMP),triethylamine (TEA),ethylene diamine (EDA) to synthsize a serious of modified WPU samples with different nano-SiO2 particle content.The influence of the amount of nanoSiO2 on the properties of emulsion and coating film was studied.The results showed that the nano-SiO2 modified polyether diol and prepolymer were reacted; the dispersion of modified SiO2 in the waterborne polyurethane was good when the amount of nano-Si02 was 2% of prepolymer,leading a stable waterborne polyurethane dispersion,with a film elongation at break 300%,tensile strength 13 MPa,and improved water resistance,hardness,thermal stability.
