Abstract
Self-crosslinkable aqueous polyurethane (PU)/polyacrylate (PA) composite emulsion was obtained by radical copolymerization. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) result shows that the cross-linking reaction between the carbonyl group and the hydrazine group has happened. The influence of the hydrazide-carbonyl molar ratio and the PA content on the properties of the composite emulsions and their films were investigated. The results show that, under the optimal hydrazide-carbonyl molar ratio (n (hydrazine group)/n (carbonyl group) =1:1), the water absorption is 10.56 %, and the mechanical properties and thermal stabilities are both improved. As the PA content increases from 0 wt% to 15 wt%, the tensile strength increases from 5.7 MPa to 7.3 MPa and the gel content increases from 70.3 % to 87 %.
