Abstract

Kajian ini adalah mengenai pengubahsuaian kimia ke atas resin epoksi menggunakan prabahan-poliuretana (prabahan-PU) yang beraneka panjang rantai dan kearomatikan. Prabahan-PU dengan nisbah diol-diisosianat 1:3 adalah optima untuk penambahan secara kimia ke dalam epoksi. Kajian ini berbeza daripada kajian lain yang sedia ada dari segi penambahan kimia PU serta penggunaan PU yang berberat molekul, dan darjah pempolimeran rendah. Faktor-faktor pembezaan tersebut telah menyumbang kepada keelakan masalah-masalah pemisahan fasa, pengurangan suhu peralihan kaca (Tg) dan kestabilan terma yang lazim berlaku. Namun, penggunaan kaedah kemasukan secara kimia telah menghadkan kuantiti PU yang boleh ditambah kepada kurang daripada 6 phr. This study describes the chemical modification of epoxy resin with polyurethane-precursors (PU-precursors) of varying chain length and aromacity. PUprecursors with diol-diisocyanate ratio of 1:3 are optimum for a chemical incorporation into epoxy. Differentiating the present study from other available PUepoxy systems are the chemically incorporated PU, as well as the use of PU with low molecular weight (MW) and low degree of polymerization (n). These differentiating factors have been attributed to the successful aversion of phase separation, reduced glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal stability, that has otherwise been common in PU-incorporated epoxy systems. Nevertheless, confining to chemical incorporation has limited the incorporated PU quantity to less than 6 phr.
