A new silane-containing acrylic macromonomer, maleimidedoethoxybutoxydimethylsiloxy butyl acrylate (MEBDMSBA), based on maleic anhydride (MA), ethanolamine (EA), 1,4-butanediol (BDO), dichlorodimethylsilane (DCDMS), and acrylic acid (AA) has been synthesized for formulation of waterborne polyurethane (WPU). Also a series of new silane-containing WPU, methyl methacrylate (MMA), MEBDMSBA, and montmorillonite (MMT) with organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) content (1.25 wt%) hybrid nanocomposites have been successfully prepared by the emulsion polymerization in the presence of a WPU dispersion, using ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS) as an initiator. The WPU dispersion has been synthesized by a polyaddition reaction of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) on polypropylene glycol (PPG-1000) and dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA) as chain extender. The monomer was characterized by Fourier transformer infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis, proton (H-1 NMR), and carbon (C-13 NMR) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopes, respectively. The nanocomposite emulsions were also characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and laser light scattering. Thermal properties of the copolymers were studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The OMMT was characterized by FTIR and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of copolymers was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transition electron microscopy (TEM), and then the effects of silane concentrations on the water absorption ratio were examined. Results showed that OMMT could improve the properties of emulsion; in other words, the properties of nanocomposite emulsion were better when compared with those of the silane-acrylate emulsion.
