Abstract

A novel epoxidized hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polymer (HPEEX) was formulated from epichlorohydrin and hydroxy-terminated hyperbranched polyester (HPE) based on trimethylol propane (TMP) and AB2 monomer. The obtained HPEEX was characterized with FT-IR, 1HNMR spectroscopy, TG, WAXD and GPC analysis. Results showed that the HPEEX was formulated as expected and its molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity were 3,789 g/mol and 3.96 mL/g, respectively. Meanwhile, the HPEEX was used as cross-linking agent in the preparation of waterborne epoxy resins. Performance of the HPEEX modified epoxy resin aqueous (EP-H) dispersions and their films was evaluated by various tests. It was found that with incorporation of hyperbranched polymer into the epoxy macromolecular chain, the EP-H films exhibited excellent hardness and water-proof performance: the hardness was as high as 96 (Shore A), and the contact angle of water on the surface of this kind of film was as high as 71°, resulting from branched structure, higher functionality of HPEEX, better cross-linking density and large number of hydrogen bonding in this epoxy system.
