PROPERTIES OF LINEAR ELASTOMERIC POLYURETHANES.
Abstract:
The viscoelastic properties of some polyester-urethanes are compared with the properties of other polymers. The behavior observed is anomalous in that these polyurethanes exhibit an unusually high value of modulus well above their T sub g, unaccounted for by either crosslinking or crystallinity. Various experiments including incorporation of plasticizers of widely varying chemical composition have suggested interpretation of the system as a block copolymer, each block having its own T sub g. Each of the two types of blocks seems to associate with similar blocks from other molecules. Author
