A Study on the Preparation of Epoxy - Modified Polyurethane Foam and its Adhesive Properties

Abstract:

Epoxy resin (EP) modified polyurethane prepolymer (PUP) was prepared by synthesizing prepolymer method, and then EP/PU interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) composites was produced with better adhesive properties as the foam expands further. The effects of the process on graft reaction and spatial structure of EP/PU IPN composites was studied by FT-IR and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And a study on the adhesive properties of polyurethane foams with different content of epoxy resins was done by adhesion strength test. The adhesive strength of the IPNs composites were significantly improved when the EP content was 50%. The thermal stability and the expansion ratio of EP/PU IPNs composites were reduced slightly. The modified IPN composites were expected to be used as the preparation of high viscosity and high dilatability of the special - purpose materials in future.
