Synthesis of MDI-50 and Tung Oil-based Non-ionic Waterborne Polyurethanes

摘要

A series of MDI-50 based non-ionic waterborne polyurethane dispersions (MDI-NPUD) were prepared by the mixing of 2,4'-diphenylmethane diisocianate (2,4'-MDI) and 4,4'-MDI (MDI-50) which reacted with hydroxylated tung oil (HTO) and polyethylene glycol-800 (PEG-800), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Proton-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (~1H-NMR) were used to characterize and analyze their molecular structures. The results indicated that MDI-50 and HTO were introduced as hard segment while PEG acted as soft segment. The surface tension, Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance (HLB) and stability were investigated. All MDI-NPUDs had much lower surface tension than the dicyclohexyl methane diisocyanate (HMDI) based NPUD (HMDI-NPUD). By changing the feed ratio of MDI-NPUD, the properties of MDI-NPUD could be controlled
