Preparation of Carboxylated Polysiloxane and its Application in Leather Waterproofing

Article Preview

Abstract:

A dodecyl/amino functionalized polysiloxane (RASO) was firstly prepared by copolymerization of octamethylcyclotetrasiloane (D4), aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane (KH-551), dodecylmethyldimethoxysilane (HD-109), and hexamethydisiloxane (MM) under basic catalyst. Then novel carboxylated polysiloxane (RCAS) was prepared by reaction of RASO with maleic anhydride. Finally RCAS was emulsified with alkyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (AEO) to form RCAS emulsions which were utilized in leather waterproofing. The as-synthesized RCAS was characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, TEM, and Particles size distribution (PSD) analyses, respectively and effect of dose of RCAS emulsion on hydrophobicity of the treated crust leather was also investigated in this work. Results showed that RCAS emulsion particles presented an uniform sphere with an average diameter of 96 nm. When dose of RCAS emulsion was larger than 6% (based on the weight of wet blue leather), the RCAS treated leather possessed better water-repellent property and water contact angle (WCA) on the grain side and flesh side of that could attain 130° and 138°, repectively.
