Abstract

The present invention pertains to: a functionalized thermoplastic polyurethane containing a novel chain extender having functionality capable of chemically bonding to a prepolymer polymerized by reacting a polyol (P) with a diisocyanate (R); a functional composite material containing one or more monomers or polymers selected from the group consisting of an anionic functional group, an amphoteric functional group, a perfluorinated compound, a hydrogel, and a silicone polymer; a method for producing same; and an article including same.

Claims (18)

1 . A method for preparation of a functionalized thermoplastic polyurethane, comprising

(a) reacting a polyol (P) and a diisocyanate (R) to polymerize a pre-polymer; and

(b) reacting the pre-polymer polymerized in the (a) with a chain extender comprising a functional group (Fn) to prepare a functionalized thermoplastic polyurethane,

wherein the functionalized thermoplastic polyurethane copolymer is represented by Chemical formula 1 below:

in the Chemical formula 1,

Fn is selected from the group consisting of

L is —O—; and

E is ethyl; and

P is a polyol; and

R is a diisocyanate; and

x is an integer of 2 to 50; and

y is an integer of 2 to 100;

the polyol is one or more kinds selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneglycol (PEG), polypropyleneglycol (PPG), polytetramethyleneglycol (PTMG), poly (1,6-hexamethylene carbonate)diol (PHMCD), polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS), and combinations thereof;

the mean molecular weight of each polyol (P) is 400 g/mol to 10,000 g/mol;

the diisocyanate (R) is one or more kinds selected from the group consisting of 4,4′-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (HMDI), 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), and hexamethylene diisocyanate;

wherein a chain extender of Chemical formula 2 below is introduced:

the chain extender is selected from the group consisting of Chemical formulas 15 to 18 below:

2 . The method for preparation of the functionalized thermoplastic polyurethane according to claim 1 , wherein the diisocyanate is used as 2% to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the total functionalized thermoplastic polyurethane; and the chain extender comprising a functional group is used as 1% to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the total functionalized thermoplastic polyurethane.
