Abstract

Polyurethane containing tertiary nitrogen atoms was synthesized from polyol, diphenylmethane diisoccyanate (MDI) and N‐methyl diethanolamine. The polymer was converted into cationomers by quarternizing with methacrylic acid (MAA) and then dispersed in water. In this reaction, methyl methacrylate (MMA) was used to decrease viscosity; at the same time, it was the monomer in the later reaction. Finally the cationic polyurethane dispersions were further polymerized with an oil‐soluble initiator, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), water‐soluble initiator, K2S2O8 (KPS) and the mixture of AIBN and KPS. The different emulsion particles with shell‐core structure, “invert” shell‐core structure and “irregular” sandwich structure were obtained; the morphological structures were characterized by TEM observation, FT‐IR and particle size analysis.
