Notes:
The dynamic mechanical properties of a series of thermoplastic urethane elastomers have been studied as a function of molecular composition and temperature. Polymers based on polycaprolactone diol, an isomeric mixture of tolylene diisocyanate and hydrogenated Bisphenol-A as the chain extender were prepared at various relative concentrations of hard and soft segments. The glass transition temperatures of these polymers progressively shifted to higher temperatures as the relative hard segment content was increased. This variation was accurately described by the Fox relationship for amorphous copolymers. These results can be interpreted in terms of the relative degree of segregation between the segment of the block copolymers.
