Abstract

A series of ambient-temperature self-crosslinked waterborne polyurethanes denoted as WBPUs were successfully synthesized by incorporating a novel diol chain extender bearing two ketone groups, 2,2-bis(4-(2-hydroxypropoxy levulinate)phenyl)-propane (BHLPP), which was prepared using 2,2-bis(4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)phenyl)-propane and levulinic acid, with 4,4-methylenedicyclohexyl diisocyanate, poly-neopentylene adipate glycol, and dimethylolpropionic acid. After post-adding adipic dihydrazide (ADH), self-crosslinking was achieved by the reaction between the ketone (–CO–) of BHLPP and the hydrazine (–NHNH2) of ADH during film formation. For comparison, noncrosslinked waterborne polyurethane (WPU) without BHLPP and ADH was prepared. The structure of BHLPP was characterized by IR and NMR. The properties of the WPU and WBPU dispersions were investigated by measuring the stability, particle size, and morphology. The effects of the ratio of n(–NHNH2)/n(–CO–) and the content of BHLPP were studied in terms of hardness, water resistance, solvent resistance, and thermal properties of WPU and WBPU films. The WBPU dispersions exhibited excellent stability, bimodal distribution, and regular spheroid morphology. The optimal ratio of n(–NHNH2)/n(–CO–) for ketone–hydrazine self-crosslinking was 0.75:1. Importantly, the WBPU films showed superior hardness, water resistance, solvent resistance, and thermal properties to WPU film.
