Abstract:The carbon black -polyurethane (CB-PU) particle with core-shell structure was prepared by the core material (CB) and shell material (PU) the in-situ emulsion synthesis method, The structure and the properties of the CB before and after modified were analyzed by FTIR,TG ,SEM and EDS; The dispersion test of the particles showed that the dispersion and stability of CB-PU in water were significantly improved than that of CB; Then the CB before and after modified was ultrasound dispersed in waterborne polyurethane (WPU) coatings to prepare conductive coatings with different CB content (CB/WPU and CB-PU/WPU), Finally, coating and drying the coating to prepare the conductive membrane. The study showed that the CB-PU can be uniformly dispersed in WPU coating films due to the hydrophilicity of the polyurethane which were completely coated on the surface of CB. The homogeneous dispersion of CB-PU greatly increased the density and intensity of the conductive network of conductive particles in coatings, which leads to a remarkable increase in the conductivity of the coating. In addition, when the volume resistivity was main-tained about 3.3×103 Ω•cm, the mass fraction of CB could dropped from 12wt %( in the CB/WPU film) to 6wt %( in the CB-PU/WPU film). The result indicates that it is an effective method to improve the dispersity of CB in the matrix and promote the formation of the conductive network by coating the matrix resin layer on the surface of CB. The mechanical test showed that the breaking elongation of the CB-PU/WPU was better than that of CB/WPU, while the breaking tenacity decreased.
