Abstract
A series of moisture curable polyurethane/polysiloxane (PUSR) copolymers with different end-capping agents were prepared based on amine terminated polysiloxane (PDMS), poly-1,4-butylene adipate glycol (PBA), 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). The copolymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogarvimetric (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), surface contact angle and stress–strain measurement. Compared with conventional moisture curable PU the PUSR copolymer showed the better thermal stability and surface properties due to the forming of Si-O-Si crosslinking network and the enrichment of siloxane chains on the surface of films , and the tensile strength was not obviously damaged. DMTA results suggested that micro-phase separation was formed in the PUSR copolymer. It was found that the PUSR copolymer with mixed alkoxysilanes as end-capping agents showed better compromised properties than that with single alkoxysilane.
