The temperature dependences of the heat capacity of partially crystalline linear polyure thanes based on 1,6 hexamethylenediisocyanate with butane 1,4 diol and hexane 1,6 diol were studied for the first time in a temperature range of 6-460 K by the methods of adiabatic vacuum and dynamic calorimetry. Physical changes in the state of polyurethanes were revealed and characterized; the standard thermodynamic functions, namely, C p°( T ), H°(T ) -H°(0), S°(T ), and G°(T ) -H°(0), were calculated from the obtained experimental data in the temperature range from Т → 0 to 460 K for the polymers in the crystalline, glassy, highly elastic, and liquid states. The energies of combustion of the polymers were measured by the bomb calorimetry method, and the standard thermodynamic characteristics of their formation at 298.15 K were calculated. The thermodynamic characteristics of bulk polycondensation of 1,6 hexamethylenediisocyanate with butane 1,4 diol and hexane 1,6 diol to form linear ali phatic polyurethanes {4,6} and {6,6} were determined in the range from Т → 0 to 350 K at р° = 0.1 MPa. The thermodynamic properties of the polyurethanes under study and polymers of isomeric structure were compared.Key words: polyurethanes based on 1,6 hexamethylenediisocyanate with butane 1,4 diol and hexane 1,6 diol, heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs function, calorimetry, thermo dynamics.Polyurethanes (PUs) are among the most significant industrial polymers 1,2 and used for designing new promis ing materials. 3-5In the present time, one of the main methods for industrial production of linear PUs is the reaction of diisocyanates with diols 1 that affords m,n PUs. Many works on studying the thermodynamic and thermal properties of m,n PUs were carried out by calorimetric DTA and DSC methods, 6,7 which are inferior in terms of accuracy and the amount of data obtained to low temperature adiabatic vacuum calorimetry (AVC). Com bined studies by precision AVC methods are necessary to compare the thermodynamic properties of aliphatic polyurethanes, to study dependences of these proper ties on the composition, structure, and physical state, and to prepare related composite materials. These studies have previously 8-10 been performed for linear aliphatic n PUs synthesized by the polymerization of cyclic ure thanes with ring opening and interaction of isocyanato alcohols.The following tasks were given priority in the present work: 1) calorimetric study of temperature dependences of the heat capacity of partially crystalline linear PUs based on 1,6 hexamethylenediisocyanate with butane 1,4 diol (PU {4,6}) and hexane 1,6 diol (PU {6,6}) and deter mination of the thermodynamic characteristics of pos sible physical transformations in the 6-460 K tempera ture range;2) calculation of the standard thermodynamic func tions C p°( T ), H°(T ) -H°(0), S°(T ), and G°(T ) -H°(0) for the temperature range from Т → 0 to 460 K using the obtained data;3) measurement of the energy of combustion of PU {4,6} and PU {6,6}, calculation of the standard ther modynam...
