Abstract
A novel fluorinated polyurethane (FPU) was prepared by fluorinated polyether glycol (PTMG- g-HFP) as a soft segment, 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) or toluene diisocyanate (TDI) as a hard segment and 1,4-butanodiol (BDO) as a chain extender. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H NMR, 13C NMR and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) were used to characterize the structure of the fluorinated polyurethane. The thermal stabilities of the fluorinated polyurethane and the corresponding hydrogenated polyurethane were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis at two different sampling depths for the fluorinated polyurethane was used to investigate the surface compositions of FPU. And the mechanical properties of the fluorinated polyurethane and the corresponding hydrogenated polyurethane were also measured. Chemical resistance of polyurethane films was estimated through spot tests with different solvents. The results showed that FPU had high thermal stability, strain-hardening property and good chemical resistance. The XPS measurements showed the fluorine enrichment on the surface of FPU.
