Abstract

Segmented polyurethanes (SPUs) were synthesized from 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI)、1,4-butanediol (BD) and poly(oxytetramethylene)glycol(PTMG) to study the effect of curing temperature on the micro aggregation structure and adhesion properties of the SPUs. PTMG was reacted with MDI, then the prepolymer was chain-extended with BD. It was cured at 50,75,100 and 125 oC to obtain four kinds of the SPUs, coded as SPU-50,SPU-75,SPU-100 and SPU-125. Their structure and properties were characterized by swelling, polarized optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),T-peel testing and contact angle measurement. When the curing temperature was increased, the hard segment (HS) was aggregated to form the physical crosslinkage, resulting in relatively high melting temperature of HS (Tm,H)and glass transition temperature (Tg) but low adhesive strength and surface free energy. In addition, the melting point of soft segment (Tm,s) was increased and then disappeared at the high curing temperature. Interestingly, the SPUs cured above 100 oC possessed extremely high Tm,H than that of the SPUs cured at other curing temperatures. The surface free energy of polar component (γsp) and adhesive strength of the SPUs cured above 100 oC had decreased. These results revealed that the polar hard segment component was slightly existed at the top surface of the SPUs.Thus,the adhesive strength was strongly dependent on existed hard segment at the top of SPUs surface.Furthermore,cohesive failure was observed in all SPUs. The result was contributed that the interaction between SPUs adhesive and aluminum substrate with high polar ity was stronger than the intra molecular interaction of SPUs adhesive.
