Abstract

Silylated waterborne polyurethane was synthesized by capping the NCO groups of polyurethane prepolymer, prepared from isophrone diisocyanate, poly(tetramethylene glycol) and dimethylol propionic acid, with aminopropyl triethoxysilane. Subsequently, it was mixed with colloidal silica to prepare silylated waterborne polyurethane/silica nanocomposites. The average sizes of nanocomposite particles, measured by dynamic light scattering, showed almost the same value, irrespective of increasing silica content. However, the prepared nanocomposites showed better thermal stability than pure waterborne polyurethane.

Isophrone diisocyanate, poly(tetramethylene glycol)과 dimethylol propionic acid로부터 제조된, polyurethane 부분중합체의 미반응 NCO기를 aminopropyl triethoxysilane으로 capping시켜 silylated waterborne polyurethane을 합성하였다. 연이어 이것을 colloidal silica와 혼합하여 silylated waterborne polyurethane/silica nanocomposite를 제조하였다. 동적빛 산란법에 의해 측정된 nanocomposite 입자의 평균 크기는 silica 함유량과 무관하게 거의 일정한 수치를 나타내었다. 그러나 제조된 nanocomposite의 열적안정성은 순수한 waterborne polyurethane보다 우수하였다.
