A novel polyurethane elastomer (PUE) that exhibited high tensile strength, large elongation at break, great color strength and supreme color fastness was successfully designed and synthesized. The PUEs were prepared with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) as hard segments, polycarbonate diol (PCDL)/polytetrahydrofuran glycol (PTHF) as mixed soft segments, and anthraquinone chromogen as the chain extender agent. The relationships between the mechanical properties/color performance and chromogen addition content were investigated. The chromogen actual access rate of the obtained BPUEs was evaluated by UV-Vis. The clear tortuous surface and entanglements were exhibited in PUEs micromorphology structure, indicating a significant reinforcement of mechanical properties. Elongation-at-break and tensile strength reached the maximum value 2394% at 1% (BPUE) and 18.29 MPa at 5% (BPUE), respectively, and then decreased as chromogen addition content increased. Mechanical testing results correlate well with XRD and SEM findings, which proved that anthraquinone chromogen induced an improvement in phase separation. Furthermore, BPUE films displayed high color strength and excellent color fastnesses. The rubbing fastness and washing fastness of BPUE and BPUE reached grade 5, respectively. These inspiring findings suggest that PUE films with superb performance have potential to be directly applied in the textile field.
成功设计并合成了一种具有高拉伸强度、大断裂伸长率、高色强度和极佳色牢度的新型聚氨酯弹性体(PUE)。以异佛尔酮二异氰酸酯(IPDI)为硬段,聚碳酸酯二醇(PCDL)/聚四氢呋喃二醇(PTHF)为混合软段,蒽醌发色团为扩链剂制备了PUE。研究了机械性能/颜色性能与发色团添加量之间的关系。通过紫外-可见光谱对所得BPUE的发色团实际接入率进行了评估。PUE微观形态结构呈现出清晰的曲折表面和缠结,表明机械性能有显著增强。断裂伸长率和拉伸强度分别在1%(BPUE)时达到最大值2394%,在5%(BPUE)时达到18.29MPa,然后随着发色团添加量的增加而降低。力学测试结果与XRD和SEM结果良好相关,证明蒽醌发色团促进了相分离。此外,BPUE薄膜表现出高色强度和优异的色牢度。BPUE的摩擦色牢度和水洗色牢度分别达到5级。这些令人鼓舞的发现表明,具有优异性能的PUE薄膜有潜力直接应用于纺织领域。
