Abstract
The results of studies on the effect of introducing double bonds and siloxane segments to the polyurethaneurea chain on the properties of polyurethane and polyurethane-acrylic/styrene dispersions and coatings are presented. In order to investigate that effect a 23 factorial experiment was designed and conducted. Several properties of dispersions, coatings and films were determined, including,inter alia, particle size, stability, and MFFT (minimum film-forming temperatures) of dispersions, hardness, resistance to water and solvents, adhesion of coatings and mechanical properties, and the glass-transition temperature (Tg) of films. Properties of coatings and films subjected to additional curing were also investigated. Analysing the results of the factorial experiment helped to better understand the mutual effect of several factors on the properties of the investigated materials. ESCA (electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis) and DCA (dynamic contact angle) studies of the surface properties of the coatings were also carried out.
