Preparation and properties of well-defined waterborne polyurethaneurea with fluorinated siloxane units in hard or soft segments
Two series of well-defined polyurethaneurea (PUU) aqueous dispersions consisting of fluorinated siloxane units in the hard and the soft segments, respectively, were prepared from polyester polyol, α,ω- dihydroxypory[(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl) methylsiloxane] (PTFPMS), dimethylolpropionic acid, isophorone diisocyanate, and ethylenediamine. These anionic aqueous dispersions were stable at the ambient temperature for more than 6 months. The experimental results showed that the water-resistance performance of the PUU films prepared with the insertion of PTFPMS units into the hard segments (HFS series) were better than those prepared with the insertion of PTFPMS units into the soft segments (SFS series). The film prepared from the PUU aqueous dispersion incorporating 5 wt % PTFPMS in the hard segments exhibited the lowest water absorption amount (2.3 wt %) with the contact angle of water on the film surface greater than 90°. In comparison with the PUU film without adding PTFPMS, the waterproof performance and the mechanical properties of both HFS and SFS series were enhanced markedly. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
