Abstract
UV-curable waterborne polyurethane acrylate (WPUA) modified with octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OVPOSS) was prepared via photopolymerization between OVPOSS and WPUA. Structural and morphological features of WPUA/OVPOSS coatings were assessed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Thermal properties of the WPUA/OVPOSS hybride coatings have been improved over the pure waterborne polyurethane acrylate analyzed by thermal gravimetric analysis. Performance of the coatings was also evaluated using water absorption, hardness, contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The data showed that the WPUA/OVPOSS coatings possessed better water resistance and thermal oxidative stability in comparison with pure WPUA.
