Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV) curable waterborne polyurethane(WPU) dispersions based on isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI), polypropylene glycol(PPG), dimethylolproprionic acid(DMPA) and pentaerythritol triacrylate(PETA) were prepared by the conventional method of anionic aqueous polyurethane dispersions. The structure of the ultraviolet (UV) curable WPU dispersions was studied by FT-IR. Stability, dispersion particle size and zeta-potential of the WPU dispersions were characterized. Effect of temperature on viscosity of the dispersions with different C=C content was also investigated. Results showed that all UV curable WPU dispersions had high solid content (48wt%) and showed remarkable mechanical stability. The viscosity of the dispersions decreased with temperature increasing from 20°C to 60°C. When C=C content varied from 0 to 1.05meq/g, the dispersion particle size was under 300nm, zeta potentials were less than -48.9mV.
