Abstract
Waterborne cationic fluorinated polyurethane (WCFPU) micro-emulsion was prepared by the reaction of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), polytetramethyleneether glycol (PTMG1000), 1,4-butanediol (BDO), N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), trimethylolpropane (TMP) and perfluoroalkylethyl octanol (FEOH), and then the films of the WCFPU were prepared. The influence on the mechanical properties and water absorption of the films, such as the molar ratio of NCO to OH, the dosage of MDEA, TMP and FEOH, was investigated. Their structure, morphology and heat performance were characterized by fourier transform infared spectrometer (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG). The results revealed that the best mechanical properties and water resistance could be obtained under the condition that NCO/OH molar ratio was 1.25, w(TMP) was 1.1%, w(MDEA) was 7.29% and w(FEOH) was 22.3%. In addition, WCFPU was endowed with low surface energy of its film and the membrane surfaces had excellent water and oil repellency. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the waterborne cationic fluorinated polyurethane increased with the incorporation of perfluoroalkyl chain. And XRD, DSC and TG showed that micro-crystallinity of polyurethane increased with the increase of FEOH, which was benefit to the micro-phase seperation.
