According to the green and environment-friendly antibacterial
polyurethane adhesive and the synthesis method thereof, renewable
sorbitan oleate and
tannic acid are introduced into a waterborne
polyurethane adhesive, so that the
environmental protection property of the
adhesive is improved, and the
water resistance and flowability of the adhesive can be effectively improved; and the adhesive is endowed with antibacterial and
mildew-proof properties and higher
bonding strength. The
sorbitan oleate and the
tannic acid are both subjected to
chemical reaction with the
toluene diisocynate, and polyhydroxy structures of the
sorbitan oleate and the
tannic acid promote cross-linking among molecules and enhance a
molecular network of the adhesive, so that the cementing performance of the adhesive is improved; the hydroxyl position of
sorbitan oleate and a long
alkane chain also increase the synthesis yield of the adhesive and the
toughness and
water resistance of the product, tannic acid is used as a cross-linking agent on one hand, and on the other hand, the interaction of a
polyphenol structure in tannic acid and an adhesive matrix can inhibit the growth of mould and
bacteria on the other hand, so that the antibacterial and
mildew-proof properties of the adhesive are also improved, and the service life of the adhesive is prolonged. And the
mildew-proof capability is improved by more than 80%.
