Abstract

A series of aqueous polyurethane nanocomposites were prepared using various amounts (0.3-4.6 wt%) of a diol functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) by the prepolymer mixing method. N,N-bis(2-hydroxy ethyl-2-amino ethane sulfonic acid sodium salt (BES sodium salt) was used as the anionic internal emulsifier and ionic center. The molecular structure of the samples was characterized by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. We investigated the effect of the POSS contents on the properties of the specimens by particle size and viscosity measurements, X-ray diffractometry, mechanical behavior assessment, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), thermogravimetric analysis and morphological studies. The results showed that with increasing the POSS contents, particle size, viscosity, tensile strength, modulus, T g , and thermal stability of the synthesized samples were improved. Also, SEM and TEM images indicated that a homogeneous morphology was obtained in the 1.2 wt% POSS-based sample. AFM results showed that the surface roughness increased as the POSS amounts increased.
