SynopsisOn the basis of Clough and Schneider's studies, who investigated segmented polyurethanes with the use of DSC, we assumed that warming may lead to morphological changes in these compounds. We warmed polymers for 10 h in argon atmosphere at 130O. Morphological changes occurring in polyurethanes at a modified temperature were confirmed with an electron microscope and were found to affect to a high degree the mechanical properties of the polymer investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
