Structure-property relationships of chain-extended thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers
thesis
posted on 2013-06-11, 09:06 authored by Paul A. SykesThe effect of chain extender chemical structure on the physical and mechanical
properties of thermoplastic polyurethane/urethaneurea elastomers was systematically
investigated.
Several series of materials were synthesised using 4,4' -diphenylmethane diisocyanate
(MDI) and poly(tetramethylene oxide) glycol (PTMG), each series incorporating a
particular class of chain extender compound. Elucidation of the influence of chain
extender structural variations within each series was the principal objective of the
investigation…
