Abstract:
Segmented poly(ether-b-urethanes) have been synthesized with 2000 MW polypropylene oxide coupled with diisocyanates and diol type chain extenders. The diisocyanates used were symmetric rigid 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), linear aliphatic hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and unsymmetric rigid toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI). The chain extenders were symmetric N,N'-bis(2- hydroxyethyl) terephthalamide (BT) and N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-hydroquinone (BH) unsymmetric N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)isophthalamide, and linear aliphatic butanediol. Hard segment contents ranged from 20 to 40 wt %. The thermal behavior of these materials is consistent with phase separation into separate hard and soft domains.
