The invention relates to the field of
high polymer materials, and discloses a visible light repairing type waterborne
polyurethane emulsion and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method comprises the following steps that
polytetrahydrofuran,
isophorone diisocyanate, 2, 2-
dimethylolpropionic acid and butyltin dilaurate are taken and placed in a reactor, pre-
polymerization chain extension is conducted at the temperature of 60-90 DEG C, and a
polyurethane prepolymer is obtained; the preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, adding ASB-PEG2000-ASB, carrying out chain extension at 40-60 DEG C, then adding
butanediol and
carbohydrazide, continuously carrying out chain extension, then adding glucose, carrying out crosslinking at 40-60 DEG C, finally cooling to 25-50 DEG C, adding
triethylamine, carrying out stirring to form a salt, adding deionized water, carrying out stirring dispersion, and carrying out emulsification so as to prepare the visible light repairing type waterborne
polyurethane emulsion. The water-based polyurethane
emulsion has the advantages that the water-based polyurethane emulsion has wide absorption in the visible
light wave band, the self-repairing efficiency is high, the water-based polyurethane emulsion and
polytetrahydrofuran are simultaneously used as soft segments to be introduced into water-based polyurethane, and the prepared water-based polyurethane emulsion has high mechanical performance and a visible
light induced self-repairing function.
