Abstract: Aqueous polyurethane (APU) dispersions with improved hydrophilicity were presented and characterized. In order to make APU products more competitive, anionic diols and dimethylopropanic acid (DMPA) were introduced into the macromoleculars of APU. The particle sizes of the APU dispersions have been reduced from 0.7~3μm to 0.05~0.6μm, and the storage stability has been prolonged from 6 months to 12 months. It is efficient to prepare the self-emulsifiable APU dispersions by applying anionic polyester diols and using triethanolamine (TEOA) as a neutralization agent.

Abstract: Polyurethane-acrylic composite emulsion was synthesized by swelling polymerization with aqueous polyurethane dispersion as seed, and acrylic as monomers. The obtained polyurethane-acrylic (PUA) composite emulsion were characterized by means of IR spectra, and the results showed that the obtained emulsion was hybrid emulsion of polyurethane and acrylic, which had smaller particle size and higher viscosity and was more suitable for the preparation of ink. The obtained water-based PUA emulsion and alkyd resins were used as ink binder. The obtained water-based ink had good water resistance, color density, gloss and friction fastness.
