Waterborne polyurethane (WBPU) adhesive with varying amounts of dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA) was synthesized by prepolymer process and blended with polyisocyanate hardener. The mean particle size of the WBPU dispersion decreased with increasing DMPA content. $^1H$ NMR spectroscopy confirmed the formation of allophanate bonds and biuret bonds due to the reaction of hardener NCO with urethane/urea groups. The optimum NCO content with the greatest adhesive strength was dependent on the total content of urethane/urea groups in the WBPU molecules. The optimum NCO content increased with increasing number of urethane groups (DMPA content). The adhesion strength of WBPU adhesives was maximized at a molar ratio of hardener NCO to urethane/urea of about 0.28.

High water vapor permeable coating materials were prepared by blending aqueous poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solution with waterborne polyurethane-urea (WBPU) dispersions synthesized by prepolymer mixing process. Stable WBPU/PVA dispersions were achieved at PVA content below 30 wt%. As the water soluble polymer PVA content increased, the number and density of total micro-pores (tunnel-like/isolated micro-pores) formed after the dissolution of PVA in water increased, and the water vapor permeability of coated Nylon fabric also increased significantly. Using WBPU/water soluble polymer PVA blends as a coating material and then dissolving PVA in water was confirmed to be an effective method to obtain prominent breathable fabrics.

Polycarbonate diol-based waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was prepared by prepolymer mixing process. The prepolymer mixture contained the polycarbonate diol, isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), dimethylol propionic acid, triethylamine, and ethylenediamine (EDA). The NCO/OH ratio in the prepolymer was adjusted by controlling the molar ratio of IPDI, and its effects on the properties of WPU were studied. The structure of WPU was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The average particle size increased and viscosity decreased with increasing NCO/OH ratio and EDA content in WPU. The reduced phase separation between soft and hard segments increased glass transition temperature. The reduction in the thermal decomposition temperature could be attributed to the low bond energy of urethane and urea groups, which constituted the hard segment. Additionally, the polyurethane chain mobility was restricted, elongation decreased, and tensile strength increased. The hydrogen bond between the hard segments formed a dense structure that hindered water absorption.

폴리염화비닐(polyvinyl chloride, PVC)은 자동차 내장재(도어 트림 및 대쉬 보드 등)에 아주 널리 사용되고 있으나 특정조건에서 유해물질을 배출하므로 규제가 되는 소재로 알려져 있다. 그러므로 열가소성 폴리올레핀계 고분자인 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)이 자동차 내장재 부분에서 PVC를 대체할 수 있는 중요한 재료로 부각되고 있다. PP(비정영역:0.855, 결정영역:$0.946g/cm^3$)의 또 다른 장점은 PVC($1.1{\sim}1.45g/cm^3$)에 비해 밀도가 낮으므로 자동차의 중량을 줄일 수 있다는 것이다. 한편 모든 부품은 표면보호와 미관상 코팅이 반드시 필요하며, 그들을 조립하는데 접착제가 필요하다. 지금까지 주로 사용해 온 용제-베이스의 접착제/코팅제의 경우 휘발성 유기화합물(volatile organic compounds, VOC)의 발생과 열악한 작업 환경으로 환경친화적인 수성 접착제/코팅제의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구에서는 소수성 고분자 PP에 적용되는 환경친화적인 다양한 수분산 폴리우레탄-우레아 선처리제(primer: 마감도료가 기질에 보다 잘 접착될 수 있도록 선처리하는 도료)를 이온성분 dimethyl propionic acid (DMPA) 함량별, 다양한 NCO/OH 몰비, 변성 실리콘 디올의 다양한 함량 및 소프트세그먼트 함량 등의 여러 배합으로 제조하였다. 제조된 시료 중 DMPA 함량 21 mol%, 소프트세그먼트 함량 73%, 변성 실리곤 디올 5 wt% 및 NCO/OH 몰비 1.2를 사용한 시료가 기질 PP 시트와의 접착력이 우수하였으며, 첨가제는 분산제 0.5 wt%, 레벨링제 0.5 wt%, 소포제 1.5 wt% 및 소광제 3.0 wt%가 가장 적합한 첨가 함량임을 알 수 있었다.

Over the last 30 years, water-swellable and water-insoluble hydrogels have been extensively investigated and developed, leading to a large family of materials which have found use in a wide range of biomedical applications such as carriers of soft tissues, wound healing, ophthalmological applications, membranes for artificial kidney, and materials for blood compatible and other medical devices[1-3].
