Abstract

Two kinds of novel photosensitive-fluorosilicone–urethane acrylate prepolymers (Si-F15-IPDI-HEA/Si-F6-IPDI-HEA) were synthesized and characterized. Si-F15-IPDI-HEA and Si-F6-IPDI-HEA were able to form homogeneous mixtures with a number of acrylate monomers. Formulations with these prepolymers with common acrylic monomers exhibited high-polymerization rates and final double-bond conversion over 90% after irradiation for 60 s. It was found the final conversion decreased with the increase of the functionality of the monomer. The influence of the monomer and prepolymers on the properties of the UV-cured films was systematically studied. Thermostability property along with mechanical performance was improved with the increase of the functionality of monomers and prepolymers. A decrease of water absorption was also observed through water contact angle measurements. The UV-cured films of Si-F15-IPDI-HEA and Si-F6-IPDI-HEA possessed an excellent adhesion on the PU and PVC leather, providing a potential application in leather industry as a finishing and coating agent.
