[0002] Waterborne polyurethane elastomers, with their low environmental risks, excellent mechanical properties, and broad compatibility, play an irreplaceable role in modern manufacturing and consumer products—especially in energy-saving, green, and sustainable fields. As the technology matures and environmental regulations become more stringent, the application prospects of waterborne polyurethanes will be even broader, and they are expected to become a core pillar of future high-performance, low-carbon, and recyclable material systems.

[0003] However, during the synthesis of waterborne polyurethane elastomers, the hydrophilic groups introduced to achieve water dispersibility often disrupt the regularity and integrity of the hard segment phase. Coupled with inherent defects in its particle film-forming mechanism, this often results in insufficient strength and toughness on a macroscopic scale, limiting its application in high-end fields. These deficiencies in mechanical properties make the products more prone to crack propagation, fatigue accumulation, and accelerated external damage during actual use, significantly shortening their service life and ultimately leading to reduced resource utilization efficiency and unnecessary waste.

[0051] Test case 1. The infrared test results of Example 1 were performed using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0052] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the waterborne polyurethane elastomer prepared in Example 1 has a temperature of 2262 cm⁻¹. -1 The absence of peaks fully reflects that the NC=O group has completely reacted, indicating the successful synthesis of the material.

[0053] 2. The average particle size of the aqueous dispersions of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 was determined using a nanoparticle size analyzer. The test results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, by Figure 2 It can be seen that the average particle size of both dispersions is in the nanometer range and exhibits a unimodal distribution.

[0054] 3. The tensile strength, toughness, puncture resistance, and other mechanical properties of the elastomer materials prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were tested using a universal tensile testing machine. The test results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 Mechanical property testing Table 2 Mechanical property tests The test results show that, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which only added diol-reinforcing chain extenders, the mechanical properties were all lower than those of the elastomer materials prepared in the embodiments of this invention (such as...). Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this is because the hydrogen bond content of the diol chain extender is still low, which has a weak effect on improving the regularity and integrity of the hard segment phase and cannot significantly improve the mechanical properties of the material.

[0055] Compared with Comparative Examples 3-5 (which only added diamines or dihydrazides to enhance chain extenders), the mechanical properties of the prepared elastomer materials were improved compared with Comparative Examples 1-2, but were still lower than those of the materials prepared in the embodiments of the present invention. Figures 4-6 This is because while introducing only diamines or dihydrazides can introduce more hydrogen bonds and improve the regularity and integrity of the hard segment phase, the effect is limited. However, this invention employs a dual-reinforcing chain extender (a combination of a diol and a diamine or dihydrazide), which not only further enhances the regularity of the hard segment phase and the degree of microphase separation in the material, thus allowing it to withstand greater stress during stretching and improving the tensile strength of the material, its supramolecular segments can also form polymers with extremely low binding energy. During stretching, these polymers preferentially slide, effectively dissipating energy, thereby significantly improving the material's extensibility and toughness.
