Abstract:

Urethane acrylates were prepared via melt polycondensation method and esterification method respectively, using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), castor oil (CO), hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA) as main raw materials. CO-based thiol monomer was prepared via melt polycondensation method using castor oil (CO) and 3-mercapto propionic acid (3-MPA).Urethane acrylates and the thiol-compounds were blended with addition of photo-initiator in certain proportions, and then polyurethane curing film was formed through thiol-ene couple reaction between double bond and thiol under UV irradiation. The structure and properties of the urethane acrylate, thiol compound and the polyurethane curing film were characterized by NMR, FT-IR, Pohot-DSC and TG. The results indicated that the ethylene linkages of urethane acrylates and the thiol-compounds were successfully inserted in the polyurethane molecular chain. The UV-cured films showed good mechanical properties and thermal stability with curing time 60 s.
