Abstract
Fluorinated polyurethane (FPU) with a different fluorine content was prepared using perfluoropolyether glycols, poly(propylene glycol), and isophorone diisocyanate as starting materials, and 1,4-butanediol as a chain extender. The structure and molecular weight of FPU were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. A solution of FPU in xylene and cresol was then coated on copper wires using an enameled machine to prepare enameled wires. The friction coefficient and adhesion performance of the enameled wires were tested. The friction coefficient of the as-prepared enameled wires reached 0.095, which was much lower than 0.149 of the polyurethane without fluorine. FPU-based enameled wires also showed good mechanical performances and increased breakdown voltages. In addition, FPU exhibited good hydrophobic and oleophobic characterization.
