Synthesis and Properties of Waterborne Polyurethane Using Epoxy Group (WPUE)

본 연구에서는 수분산 폴리우레탄의 내가수분해성 및 접착력을 향상시키기 위하여 polyester polyol, epoxy resin, 4,4-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate ( H₁₂MDI ), dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA)를 사용하여 epoxy를 함유한 수분산 폴리우레탄을 합성하였다. 또한 합성된 수분산 폴리우레탄의 물성은 DSC, UTM, adhesion test 등을 통해 평가하였다. 합성된 수분산 폴리우레탄의 Tg는 -50∘C 부근에서 나타났으며, epoxy resin의 함량이 증가함에 따라 Tg도 상승하는 결과를 나타내었다. Epoxy resin의 함량이 증가함에 따라 인장강도는 증가하였고, 신율은 감소하였다. 또한 접착력 및 내가수분해 접착력은 polyol : epoxy = 99 : 1에서 최고값을 나타내었다. In this study, Waterborne polyurethanes (WPU) using Epoxy group were synthesized with polyester polyol, epoxy resin, 4,4-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate ( H₁₂MDI ), dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA) to improve the hydrolysis resistance and adhesion. In addition, the properties of the synthesized waterborne polyurethane was evaluated through DSC, UTM, adhesion strength. Tg of the synthesized waterborne polyurethane is shown in the vicinity of -50∘C . Tg were increased with as epoxy resin contents increased. The tensile strength was increased as the content of epoxy resin increases, elongation was decreased. Optimum adhesion and hydrolysis-resistance strength were obtained when polyol : epoxy ratio was 99 : 1.
