  Abstract

  Hybrid acrylic/water-based polyurethane systems have been synthesized by a polymerization process in which acrylic monomers have been used as solvents in polyurethane systems. The polymerization has been carried out in four main stages The first stage in which a prepolymer has been obtained, a second stage in which the chain extension has been carried out. In the third stage has obtained the phase inversion and finally in the last stage has been carried out the synthesis of acrylic monomers. Polymerization was monitored by ATR-FTIR and gravimetry. The effect of incorporating a bifunctional chain extender and replacing a conventional PPG polyol with two types of commercial biopolyols (Priplast 1900, 48% renewable and Priplast 3294, 100% renewable) was analyzed. It has been proven that the addition of a second bifunctional chain extender improves the adhesive properties of the hybrid system, an effect that is enhanced by the use of biopolyols. It has been proven that the use of bio-based polyols is possible since they do not significantly reduce thermal properties, making it feasible to obtain a material with 20% renewable content.
