Synthesis, Characterization And In Vitro Oxidative Stability Of Poly(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)methylsiloxane Modified Polyurethaneurea

摘要

A series of α,ω-bis(3-hydroxypropyl)-poly[(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)methylsiloxane] (FPS) with different molecular weights were synthesized and characterized, then the FPS modified polyurethaneurea (FSPUU) elastomers were further synthesized with poly(tetramethylene glycol)/FPS as soft segments and 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate/ethylene diamine as hard segments. The surface properties of the FSPUU films were measured. It was found that the surface hydrophobicity of these FSPUU films was enhanced with increasing the molecular weight of FPS, due to the enrichment of FPS segments at the surface region. Oxidative stability of the FSPUU films was examined in vitro by immersing the films with 200 μm thickness in oxidative solution (H_2O_2/CoCl_2) for 21 days. The experimental results showed that the degree of degradation of all FSPUU films was lower than that of polydimethylsiloxane modified polyurethaneurea (MSPUU), and the oxidative stability of these FSPUU films was fair enhanced with increasing the molecular weight of FPS, which could be attributed to the lowering of swelling ratios in H_2O and 20% H_2O_2, as well as the permeation rate of H_2O in FSPUU films. Furthermore, the tensile strength of all FSPUU films is higher than that of MSPUU film.
