Abstract:
An ambient temperature curable hydrophilic PU oligomer includes a PU pre-polymer having a hydrophilic center group and a curable terminated group. The ambient temperature curable hydrophilic PU oligomer includes the moisture-curable hydrophilic PU oligomer such as isocyanate-terminated PU pre-polymer and free-radical curable hydrophlic PU oligomer. The isocyanate-terminated PU pre-polymer is synthesized by mixing at least one multi-isocyanate, at least one polyol and one or more diol monomer with hydrophilic group. The acrylate-terminated PU oligomer is synthesized by adding 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) into the isocyanate-terminated hydrophilic PU pre-polymer. Either acrylate- or isocyanate-terminated PU oligomer can be applied on a textile or a glass surface with a thin-layer coating technology. The curing reactions of these hydrophilic thin-layer coatings are carried out with moisture or UV-radiation, respectively, at ambient temperature. These moisture-cured or UV-radiation cured hydrophilic PU coating has water-resistant properties and the hydrophilic characters remain unchanged.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0002]    This invention relates to hydrophilic materials, particularly, to an ambient temperature curable hydrophilic polyurethane (PU) oligomer, a method for synthesizing the same, and a surface treatment method of using the same. 
         [0003]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0004]    There are lots of natural hydrophilic polymers such as starch, cellulose, dextrin, and artificial hydrophilic polymers such as polyethylene glycols (PEG), poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) and etc. Whatever natural or artificial hydrophilic polymers which mentioned before, when they are used in the surface treatment of a textile or a glass (e.g. a car window or mirror), an adhesion thereof will be lost for contacting the water, even more, dissolved in water. Presently, the hydrophilic modifications of textile surface (e.g. polyester and etc.) are mainly based on modified carbohydrate (e.g. dextrin or starch). It is due to only the van der waals force occurring between hydrophilic polymer(s) and textile surface, the hydrophilicity is temporarily achieved. The hydrophilicity will be lost after several washing cycles by water because the conventional hydrophilic polymers will be swollen when they contact with water, even more, be dissolved in water, thereby the hydrophilicity of textile surface can not be maintained. Especially for color printing ink applications, the poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) is coated on the photo-paper or transparent to enhance the hydrophilicity; but PVA becomes slimy when it contacts with water or moisture, so that the images printed on such photo-paper or transparent are destroyed. 
         [0005]    All of problems mentioned above are caused by applying the conventional hydrophilic polymers without water resistance. Therefore, a hydrophilic material overcome the above-mentioned problems is desired. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0006]    An ambient temperature reactive (e.g., curable) hydrophilic PU oligomer includes a PU pre-polymer having a hydrophilic center group and a curable terminated group. The hydrophilic center group is either ionic (e.g. carboxylate, sulfonate and etc.) or non-ionic (e.g. polyethylene glycols and etc). The curable terminated group may be a moisture-curable group (e.g., isocyanate group) or a free-radical curable group (acrylate group). Therefore, the ambient temperature curable hydrophilic PU oligomer includes the moisture-curable hydrophilic PU oligomer such as isocyanate-terminated PU pre-polymer and free-radical curable hydrophlic PU oligomer. A method for synthesizing an ambient temperature curable hydrohilc PU oligomer includes the steps of: mixing at least one multi-isocyanate and at least one polyol to synthesize a hydrophilic PU resin; and introducing curable terminated groups into the hydrophilic PU resin to synthesize an ambient temperature curable hydrohilc PU oligomer. For example, the isocyanate-terminated PU pre-polymer (or named as isocyanate-terminated PU oligomer) is synthesized by mixing at least one multi-isocyanate, at least one polyol and one or more diol monomer with hydrophilic group, thereby obtains the desired isocyanate-terminated PU pre-polymer. The acrylate-terminated PU oligomer is synthesized by adding 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) into the isocyanate-terminated hydrophilic PU pre-polymer. This isocyanate-terminated hydrophilic PU oligomer is moisture-curable and it results in a formation of moisture-cured hydrophilic PU top coating by exposing to air at ambient temperature. An acrylate-terminated hydrophilic PU oligomer is obtained from an addition of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) into the isocyanate-terminated hydrophilic PU oligomer and it results in a formation of free-radical curable hydrophilic PU oligomer, which is cured by an UV-radiation at ambient temperature. 
         [0007]    Either acrylate-terminated (UV-curable) or isocyanate-terminated (for moisture-curable) PU oligomer is applied on a textile surface or a glass surface (e.g. car window or mirror) with a thin-layer coating technology (such as spray, dipping, roller, screen printing, and etc). The curing reactions of these hydrophilic thin-layer coatings are carried out with moisture or UV-radiation, respectively, at ambient temperature. These moisture-cured or UV-radiation cured hydrophilic PU coating has water-resistant properties and the hydrophilic characters remain unchanged. The surface contact angle and permeation area can be measured using pure water dropping on the hydrophilic resin treated surface. This measurement proves the function of hydrophilic PU resin on the treated surface before and after water washings. 
         [0008]    The present invention is designed for synthesizing functional hydrophilic polymer material which can be cured to form a film. The film is keeping hydrophilic property and insoluble in water at atmospheric temperature. Polyurethane (PU) can be synthesized by different polyisocyanates and polyols. Besides those materials, diol monomers with hydrophilic groups can be added into those materials to produce isocyanate-terminated (NCO-)hydrophilic PU pre-polymer (as shown in Scheme I). The NCO-terminated hydrophilic PU pre-polymer is hydrolyzed with water-vapor to form amine group, then the amine group is cured with other isocyanate functional group. As a result, the PU system becomes a network structure of hydrophilic PU resin (as shown in Scheme II) without losing hydrophilic property. 
         [0009]    An acrylate-terminated hydrophilic PU oligomer is obtained from an addition reaction of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and hydrophilic PU pre-polymer (as shown in Scheme III). It results in a formation of free-radical curable hydrophilic PU oligomer, which is cured by an UV-radiation at ambient temperature. Reactive diluents such as 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), trimethylolpropane tricarylate (TMPTA) can be used to adjust the viscosity of PU pre-polymer and increase the double-bond concentration of acrylic group. The formula would increase the density of curing/cross-linking. Usefully, enough photo-initiator or photo-sensitizer (about 5% below) is added into the surface of UV-curable PU oligomer. A free-radical polymerization process is performed to form a hydrophilic film via ultraviolet irradiation (as shown in Scheme IV). 
         [0010]    The mechanism of UV-curable hydrophilic polyurethane resin forms a network structure via ultraviolet irradiates. The photo-initiator or photo-sensitizer produces free-radical for proceeding free-radical polymerization with double-bond of acrylate in very short time (e.g., about 5 seconds) at atmospheric temperature. The mechanism is formed including four steps: photo-initiation, propagation, transfer and termination reaction etc. 
         [0011]    The contact angle of water drops on the surface means that the wettability of the surface treated with hydrophilic polyurethane resin. If the contact angle approaches zero degree, it means water drops on the surface can be spread easily and quickly. 
         [0012]    In this invention, the carboxylic acid group and sulfonate group etc. individually, is used and mixed with polyethylene glycols (PEG-2000) or Polypropylene glycols (PPG-2000) to be an internal emulsifier for hydrophilic polyurethane pre-polymer, (e.g. as shown in Scheme I). 
         [0013]    In this invention, the reactive hydrophilic PU can be used for coating on different clothes and glass. The reactive hydrophilic PU resin can also be used for coating on different textiles surface, fibers surface (e.g. polyester, polyether, and etc.) and glass surface. The curing-density of PU system increases after adding reactive diluents, polyisocyanates (e.g. toluene diisocyanates, TDI; isophorone diisocyanate, IPDI; and etc.) and acrylate monomer (e.g. trimethylolpropane triacrylate, TMPTA; and etc.). The reactive hydrophilic PU resin well combines with textiles and embeds in fibers after moisture-curing or UV-curing at ambient temperature. The surface of treated textiles and fibers owns water-resistant properties and the hydrophilic characters remain the same simultaneously (as shown in Scheme IV). 
         [0014]    In this invention, a mixture of the silane coupling agent and the reactive hydrophilic PU system is used for coating on glass. The curing-density of PU system increases on glass surface after moisture-curing or UV-curing at ambient temperature. The surface of treated glass owns water-resistant properties and the hydrophilic characters remain the same simultaneously.

       [0021]    The NCO-terminated reactive PU pre-polymer is synthesized by different polyisocyanates and diols (as shown in Scheme I). The carboxylic-type PU pre-polymer is synthesized by IPDI, PEG and DMPA; the sulfonate-type PU pre-polymer is synthesized by IPDI, PEG and DS-200; the nonionic-type PU pre-polymer is synthesized by TDI and PEG; and other type PU systems are provided (as shown in Scheme I). Then, a NCO value of each of the above PU pre-polymers is measured by the NCO titration method (i.e., ASTM D1638 NCO determination method). Then a peak of —NCO group of each of the above PU pre-polymers is measured by FT-IR instrument. The peak of —NCO group at about 2260 cm −1  is found. Thus, it is proved that the PU pre-polymer is successfully synthesized.

       Moisture Curing Reaction 
       [0022]    Textiles are dipped into carboxyl-type and sulfonate-type PU solutions, and slung in the air. During air drying, the NCO-terminated PU becomes amine-terminated PU by moisture curing reaction. The hydrophilic PU pre-polymer hydrolyzes with water-vapor, and then amine groups react with other isocyanate functional groups to form urea groups. The PU system becomes a network structure of hydrophilic PU resin, and the hydrophilic characters remains the same simultaneously (as shown in Scheme II).

The PU oligomer is cured by an UV-radiation at ambient temperature. During the addition reaction, an appropriate of catalyst (e.g. DBTDL) can be added or not. Finally, the disappearance of the NCO peak of the UV—PU oligmer is proved by FT-IR instrument.

       Application of an Aqueous-Based UV—PU Resin Including Hydrophilic Sufonate-acrylate Monomer

The textiles are dipped into UV—PU solutions, and slung in the air. After air drying, the textiles are irradiated by an ultraviolet instrument or electron-beams. The PU system of the textiles becomes a network structure of hydrophilic PU resin, but the hydrophilic characters remained the same (as shown in Scheme IV). 
       Application of Silane Coupling Agent on Glass Surface 
       [0026]    Reactive hydrophilic-silanes are chosen to be coupling agents (e.g. tetraethoxysilane, TEOS; vinyl Triethoxysilane, VTES; and etc.) for PU system and glass surfaces. The coupling agents make PU system and glass surface bound more closely via moisture-curing. Ultraviolet instrument or electron-beam is used to irradiate the glass. The PU system of the glass surface becomes a network structure of hydrophilic PU resin. The layer on the glass can provide a nice anti-fog result and a durable material. This anti-fog reagent is better than other products on the market. 
         [0000]    The Surface of Textiles Activated Treated with Sodium Hydroxide: 
         [0027]    The textiles are coated with the ionic type hydrophilic UV-curable PU oligomers, and are slung in the air. After air drying, the ultraviolet instrument or electron-beam is used to irradiate the textiles. The PU system of the textiles becomes a network structure of hydrophilic PU resin (as shown in Scheme IV). The textiles are dipped into a low concentration sodium hydroxide solution. The carboxylic acid group is activated and neutralized with sodium hydroxide solution. The contact angle on the textiles decrease after treated with PU resin and sodium hydroxide. The layer on the textiles can provide a nice super-hydrophilic result and a durable material. The treated textiles are better than other products on the market. 
         [0028]    The following examples serve to illustrate the preferred embodiments of the present invention but the present invention is not introduced to be limited to the details thereof.

A tri-ethyl amine (TEA) is added to neutralize carboxylic acid with high-speed stirring. The neutralized UV—PU solution is dropped into de-ion water, a volume of the de-ion water is ten times or more than that of the UV—PU—COOH. The high-speed stirring causes the UV—PU oligomer forming micelle and dispersing into the de-ion water. As a result the desired UV—WPU—COOH is formed.
