Dynamic-Mechanical Properties of Polyurethane Urea Microcapsules on Coated Paper
Polyurethane-urea microcapsules were prepared by an interfacial polymerization method. Dynamic mechanical measurements were carried out on the polyurethane-urea microcapsules coated on a paper substrate. The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of capsule wall were observed in the temperature scan data. Tg as the temperatures of tan delta peaks were decreased with increasing amounts of core materials. The apparent activation energies of the glass transition were estimated at about 100 kcal/mol. Master curves were obtained by shifting the tan delta spectra along the frequency axis, and the glass transition regions were unaffected by core materials studied. The shift factors were found to depend on the core/wall ratio and discussed in terms of a morphological change of microcapsules.
