Crosslinking has been used in many industrial coatings and adhesive applications to improve solvent and chemical resistance, hardness, and mechanical properties of polymers. The study used alkylated melamine-formaldehyde resin (aminoplast) as a crosslinking agent for the waterborne-polyurethane (WBPU) dispersion. The effect of the crosslinking were investigated on the mechanical, thermal, dynamic-mechanical-thermal, and adhesion properties of the WBPUs. In-situ polymerization resulted to be more effective process than a conventional blending process. |
