Abstract

Abstract Summary: Novel elastic materials were prepared by mixing semicrystalline polyester‐based polyurethane (PU) synthesized at 100 °C with nitrochitosan (NCH) and 1,1,1‐tris(hydroxylmethyl)propane as crosslinker, and then by curing the mixture at 18, 25, 40, 60, and 80 °C. The effects of cure temperature on the crystallization behavior, miscibility, and mechanical properties of the PUNCH materials were studied by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform IR, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and tensile test. The results indicated that the crystalline structure of the blend films was more easily interrupted as the cure temperature increased, leading to a decrease of the degree of crystallinity. With an increase of cure temperature, the blend films exhibited high crosslinking density and tensile strength, and the phase separation between hard and soft segments of PU enhanced, resulting in a decrease in the glass transition temperature (Tg) of soft segment. Interestingly, the composite films keeping high elongation at break possessed tensile strength higher than that of the native poly(ester‐urethane). The enhanced mechanical properties of the blend films can be attributed to the relatively dense crosslinking network and strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between NCH and PU. Therefore, this study not only provided a novel way by adding NCH into PU matrix to prepare elastic materials, which would remain functional characteristic of chitosan, but also expanded the application field of chitosan. The cure temperature dependence of the tensile strength and elongation at break for the PEPU‐100 and PUNCH‐100 films. image The cure temperature dependence of the tensile strength and elongation at break for the PEPU‐100 and PUNCH‐100 films.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
