摘要

Adjustable and reprocessable hindered urea bonds containing thermosets and their composites with modified ZnO nanoparticles were fabricated via UV curing.

Abstract

In this study

a series of hindered urea bond (HUB) containing polyurethane-urea methacrylate prepolymers and a none HUB containing polyurethane methacrylate prepolymer were prepared using isobornyl methacrylate as the reactive diluent

via

one-pot procedure. The prepolymers were characterized fully by various techniques. Then

their thermosets were fabricated

via

UV curing in presence of a photo initiator

and their mechanical property and thermal behavior were investigated and compared. Different from the none HUB containing thermoset

the HUB containing thermosets (defined as PUT) could be recycled and reprocessed by hot press under relatively mild conditions with high recovery ratio of mechanical property. Furthermore

zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were modified with 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate and the modified ZnO (defined as ZnO-TPM) was dispersed and polymerized into PUT matrix to prepare their nanocomposites. The influence of ZnO-TPM on the mechanical performance of the composites was evaluated

which indicated that the Young’s modulus and tensile strength increased gradually to the maximum values at ZnO-TPM content of 1 wt% and then decreased. The composites also displayed good reprocessability with improved recovery ratio compared to the pure PUT sample. In addition

the composite materials exhibited strong UV absorption capacity

implying their potential application in the circumstance where UV-shielding was required.
