Polyurethane acrylate hybrid emulsions were prepared by seeded polymerization techniques. In the synthesis, seeded polyurethane dispersion containing carboxylic group was used to important hydrophilicity to the hybrid poly-urethane portions and various acrylate portains such as 2-hydroxy ethylmethacrylate (2-HEMA), n-butyl acrylate (n-BA) and acrylic acid (AAc). The weight ratio between acrylic and polyurethane components varied to obtain different emulsion properties, microphase structure, and mechanical film properties of hybrid emulsions. The tensile strength, 100% modulus, elongation and swelling properties of the polyurethane acrylate hybrid emulsion were studied and compared with those of polyurethane homopolymer and acrylate emulsion, respectively. And the mechanical and chemical properties of polyurethane acrylate hybrid emulsion with different glass transition temperature were studied.
