Waterborne polyurethane adhesive for footwear is prepared using mainly polyester polyol. But polyester polyol is not used alone because of poor weather resistance. This problem is solved using poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC). It is because of poor weather resistance, heat-resisting property and mechanical properties.
In this study, we are synthesized WPU using poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) to improve the adhesion strength and water resistance. WPUP were synthesized with polyester polyol, poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC), 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (H12MDI), ethylene diamine (EDA), dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA). We were prepared samples of variety molar ratios. A series of polyurethane block copolymers based on polyester polyol, poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) soft segment were synthesized. The hard segment consisted of 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (H12MDI) and ethylene diamine (EDA) as the chain extender. The structures of synthesized WPUP were confirmed by the measurement of FT-IR, 1H-NMR spectrometer. In addition, the properties of the synthesized WPUP were envaluated through DSC, TGA, tensile strength, elongation, modulus, adhesion strength and water resistance strength. Optimum adhesion and water resistance strength were obtained when polyester polyol : poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) ratio was about 9 : 1
