Molecular dependencies of dynamic stiffening and strengthening through high strain rate microparticle impact of polyurethane and polyurea elastomers
Open accessAbstract
This study investigates the molecular dependencies of dynamic stiffening and strengthening through comparison of high strain rate impact responses of various polyurethanes and polyureas. We use an in-house designed tabletop microimpact experimental platform—the laser-induced particle impact test—to perform high strain rate impacts and measure the corresponding material response. Dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry are used to show that glass transition temperature is a useful predictor of the impact response at ambient temperatures. Meanwhile, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy identifies segmental dynamics as an important determinant of the variation in both dynamic stiffening and strengthening. The impact responses of polyurethanes and polyureas both show clear dependencies on the molecular weight of the soft segment. This comparison suggests the state of intermolecular hydrogen bonding plays a key role in dynamic stiffening and strengthening. This study aims to identify the molecular dependencies of the impact response and establish a foundation for further design and testing of optimal high strain rate characteristics in synthetic elastomers.

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.
