Study on the Properties and Application of Epoxy Resin/Polyurethane Semiinterpenetrating Polymer Networks
Damping properties of epoxy resin/polyurethane (EP/PU) semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were studied by the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) method. It shows that the semi-IPNs have excellent damping properties at ordinary temperature. The maximum value of tan delta is about 1 when the weight composition of EP/PU is 70/30. Tensile tests also indicate that the system has good tensile strength and elongation at break at this ratio. The effects of structure on the properties of the semi-IPNs are discussed. Applied to the cavitation corrosion resistant coating, the semi-IPNs show good cavitation corrosion resistance.
