SYNOPSISSeries of polyurethaneurea elastomers were prepared from 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, poly (tetramethylene ether) glycol and poly (hexamethylene carbonate) glycol for mixed soft segments, and 1,4-butanediol and isophoronediamine for mixed chain extenders.Characteristics of the copolymers related with compositions were examined. FT-IR spectra showed that most of the urea carbony1 groups associated in hydrogen bonding, while urethane carbonyls only partially did so. Thermal and mechanical properties were investigated through differential scanning calorimetry and tensile testing. These thermal and mechanical properties are discussed from the viewpoint of microphase domain separation of hard and soft segments.
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.
