Abstract. Two component polyurethane systems are the new materials that have ever growing application in everyday practice, mainly in the dye industry, and the corrosion protection. The advantages of these systems are in lower content of the organic solvents, with the same level of the film properties. From the research and developing view, one must have the information's about the mechanism of final structure formation and their properties. Correlation between the final film structure and their kinetic parameters, could lead to the formation process optimization. Goal of presented research was to find time event sequence during two-component polyurethane water film formation. Experiments were designed in that way that each event, which takes place during film formation process, could be identified and quantified. All the factors, which have influence on the identified event, were also investigated, as well as their influence on final film properties. Film formation mechanism is presented in the form of the time event sequence which identified the process interactions such as: particle coalescence, izocianates-hydroxyl group and water reactions water evaporation and organic solvent evaporation. For two-component water systems, viscosity changes is not a valuable measure of system changes, so reologic methods could not be used for this research. For measuring macro kinetic parameters (activation energy and reaction order), we used differential scanning calorimetric (DSC). Mechanical properties, hardness, were measured in order to correlate the structure with the mechanical properties. All obtained results were used for defining the time event sequence of two-component water polyurethane film formation.

KORELACIJA KINETIČKIH PARAMETARA U REAKCIJAMA DVOKOMPONENTNIH POLIURETANSKIH SISTEMA U ORGANSKIM RASTVARAČIMA I SA VODOM
Dvokomponentni vodeni poliuretanski premazi predstavljaju nove sisteme, koji se koriste za različite aplikacije u oblasti površinske zaštite. Manji sadržaj isparljivih organskih rastvarača, uz očuvanje kvaliteta funkcionalnih svojstava koje imaju sistemi sa organskim rastvaračima, predstavlja njihovu komparativnu prednost. pri primeni dvokomponentnih poliuretanskih sistema, reakcija stvaranja filmova je veoma brza pa je neophodno reaktante mešati neposredno pre primene, jer bi u suprotnom dolazilo do preranog geliranja sistema. Osnov za razvoj dvokomponentnih poliuretanskih sistema organskih prevlaka sa visokim radnim svojstvima, predstavlja visoka reaktivnost izocijanatne grupe, koja lako reaguje sa poliolima i formira stabilnu poliuretansku strukturu. Tokom istraživanja, za ispitivanje mikrokinetičkih parametara (energije aktivacije i rada reakcije), korišćena je metoda diferencijalne skening kalometrije (DSC). Diferencijalna skanirajuća kalorimetrija je termoanalitička metoda koja se bazira na merenju razlike sadržaja toplote u uzorku i referenci u funkciji temperature, kada se uzorak i referenca izlože kontrolisanom temperaturnom programu.
