Fluorinated polyurethane elastomers were synthesized by two step polyaddition of a perfluorinated polyether diol(trade name of Fomblin ZDOL) and diisocyanates such as 4,4''-diphenyl methane diisocyanate(MDI) and toluene 2,4-diisocyanate(TDI). In order to control the Fomblin moiety of the soft segment in the synthesized elastomers to 10~50%, polyether type polyols such as polypropylene glycol(PPG) and polytetramethylene glycol(PTMG) were mixed during the polymerization reaction. Ethylene diamine or 1,4-butane diol was used as chain extenders. The structure and average molecular weight of the produced polyurethanes were confirmed by using FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, DSC, and GPC. The surface properties were analyzed by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and contact angle meter. From the results of the surface analysis it was concluded that the fluorine groups were localized on the surface rather than the inside of the polyurethane films.

불소화된 폴리우레탄 탄성체를 4,4''-diphenyl methane diisocyanate(MDI) 혹은 toluene 2,4-diisocyanate(TDI) 같은 diisocyanate와 perfluorinated polyether(Fomblin ZDOL)로부터 2단계 용액 중합법에 의해 합성하였다. 합성된 폴리우레탄의 soft segment 부분 중 10-50%를 Fomblin ZDOL 성분이 되도록 polypropylene glycol(PPG) 혹은 polytetramethylene glycol(PTMG)과 같은 polyether polyol을 반응도중에 혼합하여 반응을 완성하였다. 사슬연장제로는 ethylene diamine 혹은 1,4-butanediol을 사용하였다. 합성 중합체의 확인과 평균분자량 등 특성조사에 FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, 겔투과 크로마토그래피(GPC), 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 이용하였고 표면특성은 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)와 접촉각으로 조사하였다. 표면분석결과 불소기는 합성된 탄성체 필름의 내면보다 표면에 더 많이 분포함을 알 수 있었다.
