SynopsisPoly(ethy1ene ether carbonate) diols (2025 mol w t ) have been made by the molecular weight advancement of lower molecular weight oligomers and have been fabricated into polyurethane elastomers by reaction with 4,4'-MDI and 1,4-butanediol using the prepolymer method. Polymer structure has been delineated by carbon-13 NMR. Comparisons have been made to a series of elastomers based on other polyester and polyether polyols (2000 mol w t ) under conditions where the only variable was the soft segment structure. The poly( ethylene ether carbonate) diol gives a polymer with a partially phase mixed morphology, a higher ambient temperature modulus, and a lower AHm than the other polyester polyols. This lower AHm leads to a significantly lower rubbery plateau modulus than the other polyester polyols. Phase mixing is increased by post-curing at 150°C. Organic solvent resistance is the most outstanding property. The poly (ethylene ether carbonate) diol produces a polymer with predominantly polyester polyol features.
