Abstract

A series of multifunctional UV-curable polysiloxane–polyether block polyurethane acrylates prepolymers (TSi1E9PUA, TSi3E7PUA, TSi5E5PUA, TSi7E3PUA, and TSi9E1PUA) used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) leather finishing agents have been prepared and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). All five multifunctional prepolymers exhibited excellent photopolymerization efficiency and good yellowing resistance. And the content of polysiloxane in prepolymers obviously affected the viscosity, thermal stability, tensile strength, elongation at break, and surface hydrophobicity of the photopolymerization systems. The system with the prepolymer containing more polysiloxane segments presented a high viscosity, and UV-cured film had relatively good thermal stability, elongation at break, and surface hydrophobicity accordingly. The properties of the prepolymers well satisfied the application requirements for leather finishing agents. Furt...
