Polyurethanes acrylate substituted

Polyurethanes have also been invaluable as coatings for textiles, paper, and leather. The ability of these lacquers to adhere to a wide variety of substrates, combined with the flexibility across a wide range of temperatures and high tensile strength and tear propagation resistance, makes PU coated materials attractive substitutes for PVC, nitrocellulose, and acrylates. ... 

It is very clear that if the initiator has hydroxyl groups, and if the termination takes place exclusively by recombination then a polymeric diol is obtained [2, 3], which is ideal for polyurethane. If the termination takes place by disproportionation, only monofunctional compounds are obtained, which cannot be used in PU. The vinylic and dienic monomers used in practice have various termination mechanisms. Some monomers give only recombination reactions, such as styrene, acrylates (methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate), acrylonitrile and butadiene. Other monomers give both mechanisms of termination, around 65-75% disproportionation and 25-35% recombination, such as methacrylates (methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate etc.), substituted styrenes and other monomers [2, 3, 4]. 

Water-reducible polyunsaturated acid substituted aqueous polyurethane dispersions are also being used (40). They can be made by reacting a diisocyanate with a polyol, monoglyceride of a drying oil, and dimethylolpropionic acid. The carboxylic acid groups are neutralized with a tertiary amine and dispersed in water. If aliphatic isocyanates are used, good color retention can be obtained. They are much more resistant to hydrolysis than conventional alkyd resins. Films also have excellent abrasion resistance. Cost can be reduced by blending in 10-20% of acrylic latex.
