Notes:
A homologous series of copolyether-urethane-ureas were synthesized with polypropylene glycol segments having molecular weights of approximately 200, 400, 700, 1000, 2000, and 3000. These copolymers were characterized using tensile measurements and dynamic mechanical spectroscopy. The dynamic mechanical measurements at low frequencies (≤ 1 Hz) showed evidence of the existence of an α-relaxation process. This was attributed to constrained polyether segments located at the interfacial region between the hard urea segments and the soft polypropylene glycol segments.
