Abstract:

In this article, mercaptan silicone (PMMS) was firstly synthesized with hydroxyl?group?containing silicone oil and 3?mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane as monomers. Then, a series of mercaptan?silicone?modified styrene?acrylic waterborne composite emulsions were prepared via seed emulsion polymerization with PMMS as a modifier and butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, styrene, and acrylic acid as monomers. Infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic, and gel permeation chromatography were performed to characterize the structure and molecular weight of PMMS. The waterborne emulsion stability, water resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of the samples loaded with various amounts of PMMS were further investigated using dynamic light scattering, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy, etc. These results demonstrated that the modified emulsion had good dispersion and excellent stability with the addition of 6 % PMMS (quality score). Compared to pure latex film, the contact angle of the modified latex film increased from 31.1 ° to 97.8 °, and the water absorption rate decreased from 6.53 % to 2.96 %. In addition, the mechanical strength and decomposition temperature at 5 % weight loss of the modified latex film increased by 62.9 % and 75.79 °C than pure latex film, respectively.
