Abstract

The phase behavior of a set of high hard block content (50% to 100% hard segment by weight) linear thermoplastic polyurethanes has been investigated mainly via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The soft segment was based on a polypropylene oxide polyol end-capped with ethylene oxide and the hard segment on a 4,4‘-methylene diphenyldiisocyanate (MDI) chain extended by 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (MP-Diol). By investigating thermal behavior of the samples, it has been possible to assign the observed high-temperature endothermic transitions to the disruption of an ordered structure appearing in the hard phase under certain annealing conditions and to the microphase mixing of the soft and hard segments. These results suggest a two-step melting process: (1) melting of the ordered structure present in the hard phase; (2) microphase mixing of the soft and hard segments. Wide-angle X-ray scattering experiments gave further support to this assignment. In addition, investigation of the melt-quenched samples has shown that for a hard segment concentration lower than 65% a homogeneous mixed phase is obtained while for a hard segment concentration higher than 65% a two-phase system is obtained, one pure hard segment phase coexisting with a mixed phase with a hard/soft segment weight ratio of ∼1.8 corresponding to 65% hard segment concentration.

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.
