Synthesis and Mechanical Properties of Membranes Prepared from Hydroxyl-Terminated Polyurethane Alcohol Dispersion Modified by Epoxy Resin

摘要

Hydroxyl-terminated polyurethane (EPPU) modified by epoxy resin was synthesized. The structure of polyurethane (PU) was characterized by Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (ATR-FTIR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The effect of w(E-44) on thermal stability and mechanical properties of the membranes were also measured. ATR-FTIR and TEM indicates that epoxy resin has been successfully incorporated into the copolymer's main chain, and the thermal stability has improved. It was found that greater mechanical properties of PU were obtained when chemical networks were formed between PU and epoxy resin. The maximum tensile strength is up to 6.99Â MPa.View full textDownload full textKeywordsEpoxy resin, Hydroxyl-terminated, Mechanical properties, Modification, PolyurethaneRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03602559.2012.689056
