It was discovered that polydimethylsiloxane segments were incorporated into PU chains chemically and organosiloxane was preferentially oriented toward the surface layer of the film by making a comparison of attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectra between the copolymer and the blend of PU and PSIL, which was further confirmed by investigation of electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). The relationships between surface properties of the film formed from polyurethane dispersion and organosiloxane content were also studied. The results showed that water contact angle of the film increased with the increase of organosiloxane content. Interestingly, it was also found that water contact angle of PUS film increased firstly and then decreased when film-forming temperature varied from 25 ℃ to 55 ℃ .展开更多
