Abstract

Modified waterborne polyurethane was blended with waterborne hyperbranched polyurethane. The rheological, mechanical, thermal properties and microstructure of modified waterborne polyurethane were investigated by viscosity, static tensile test, differential scanning calorimetry and transmission electron microscope. The results show that the viscosity of the modified emulsion can be reduced after blended with waterborne hyperbranched polyurethane. The tensile strength and the elongation at break of modified waterborne polyurethane are enhanced, of which the largest increase reaches 124.69% and 20.13%, respectively. ΔTg and microphase separation reach the maximum with the addition of 6% SWPU6, indicating that the improvement of mechanical properties is caused by the increasing of polyurethane microphase separation degree.
