Effect of Nanoparticles on the Properties of the Resultant Waterborne Polyurethane Nanocomposites

Waterborne polyurethane nanocomposites were prepared with different contents of POSS-diol via the prepolymer mixing method. In this research, sulfonated aionic internal emulsifier was used in synthesis of the samples as ionic center. In the synthesis of the samples, POSS was added to the mixture at the optimum ratio of the ionic center to the chain extender. The effect of POSS amounts on the properties of the final specimens was investigated. Here, the effect of POSS on the mechanical properties is reported
