Descripción
Sumario:Herein, a polyurethane acrylate-based TiO<sub>2</sub> (PU-TiO<sub>2</sub>) was fabricated using a two-step method. First, a polyurethane prepolymer was prepared. Second, PU-TiO<sub>2</sub> was prepared using amino-modified TiO<sub>2</sub> (A-TiO<sub>2</sub>). The best synthesis process of the polyurethane prepolymer was when the reaction temperature was 80 °C, the reaction time was 3 h and the <i>R</i>-value of the polyurethane acrylate was 2. Next, the influence of the A-TiO<sub>2</sub> content on the structure and performance of PU-TiO<sub>2</sub> was examined. The analysis of the rheological properties of the PU-TiO<sub>2</sub> ink indicated that its viscosity gradually increased as the A-TiO<sub>2</sub> content increased. The tensile performance of film improved because of the presence of A-TiO<sub>2</sub>. The photo-polymerisation and photo-rheological performance indicated that the PU-TiO<sub>2</sub> structure changed from a hyperbranched structure with TiO<sub>2</sub> as the core to a segmented structure, as the A-TiO<sub>2</sub> content was 3%.
