Adamantane-Modified Polyurethanes: Effect of Hydroxy Group of Adamantane on the Properties of Polyurethanes

Abstract:

The paper describes synthesis and characterization of adamantane-modified polyurethanes (PU). The study shows that the number of hydroxy groups of adamantane additives plays a signifiant role in tuning polyurethane's properties. PU modified with adamantanetriol has relatively higher glass transition temperature than these with adamantanediol as an additive. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of PU with 0.5% adamantanetriol shows significant improvement in storage modulus and larger hardness than pure PU at low temperatures. In contrast, adamantanediol-modified PU exhibits lower storage modulus and smaller hardness than pure PU film. These remarkabe differences between two types of admantane-modified PUs originate from the low reactivity of adamantanediol as well as the formation of crosslinked structures in the presence of adamantanetriol.
