Regenerated cellulose nanoparticles (RCNs) reinforced waterborne polyurethanes (WPU) were developed to improve mechanical properties as well as biodegradability by using a facile, eco-friendly approach, and introducing much stronger chemical bonding than common physical bonding between RCNs and WPU. Firstly, RCNs which have an effect on improving the solubility and stability of a solution, thereby resulting in lower crystallinity, were fabricated by using a NaOH/urea solution. In addition, the stronger chemical bond between RCNs and WPU was here introduced by regarding at which stage in particular added RCNs worked best on strengthening their bond in the process of WPU synthesis. The chemical structure, mechanical, particle size and distribution, viscosity, and thermal properties of the resultant RCNs/WPU nanocomposites were investigated by Fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR), Zeta-potential analysis, viscometer, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Instron, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The results of all characterizations indicated that the RCNs/WPU-DMF associated with the addition of RCNs in DMF-dispersed step resulted in more effectively crosslinked between WPU and nano-fillers of nanocellulose particles in the dispersion than Acetone and Water-dispersed steps, thereby attributing to novel interactions formed between RCNs and WPU.

ABSTRACTWe have studied some of the physical and mechanical properties of cyclized polybutadiene (CBR) dielectrics by dynamic mechanical analysis, thermal mechanical analysis, thermogravimetry, infrared analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. Of interest is the difference in properties between thin (<30 μm) films which have been cured under vacuum and those which have been cured in air. Our results indicate that curing under vacuum prevents oxidation and reduces crosslinking. Vacuum cured films have 20% smaller moduli and 200 lower glass transition temperature than do films produced in air.

Abstract. Series waterborne polyurethane (WPU) dispersions with different 2,2-dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA) content were synthesized by the prepolymer method. Different configurations in the waterborne polyurethanes were obtained by varying the DMPA content. The structure-properties of the WPU dispersions were characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, Zetasizer nano etc. The results indicated that the amount of urethane and urea groups (hard segment) increased in the structure of WPU chains with the increasing content of DMPA. In the meantime, the degree of micro-phase separation increased. On the other hand, as the content of DMPA increased, the particle size, the thermal stability and T-peel strength decreased. Moreover, the increased content of DMPA resulted in higher tensile strength and hardness, but lower elongation at break.

The undecylenate based diol (UAD) has been synthesized from undecylenate by esterification and thiol-ene click reaction sequently, and then it was used as a diol to prepare bio-based waterborne polyurethane (WPU) reacting with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and castor oil-based carboxyl hydrophilic chain extender. The structure of undecylenate based diol was verified by hydrogen proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to characterize the structure of WPU film. Furthermore, particle size and viscosity were used to character apparent properties of the bio-based waterborne polyurethane dispersion. The result shows that: bio-based waterborne polyurethane dispersion is transparent and very stable under room temperature. This work provides a simple and efficient method for the preparation of fatty acids based polyols and bio-based waterborne polyurethanes.
