硬段含量对聚氨酯弹性体的吸水动力学及力学性能的影响

合成了硬段含量分别为30 wt%、37 wt%和45 wt%的聚醚型聚氨酯弹性体(PTMG-PU).研究了硬段含量、水浸温度和试样厚度对PTMG-PU吸水动力学的影响.研究结果表明：PTMG-PU在25℃～60℃之间的吸水动力学过程可以用Fick模型进行拟合；扩散系数和平衡吸水率随着硬段含量的增加均呈逐渐降低的趋势，水分子扩散活化能和指前因子均随着硬段含量的增加而增加，说明硬段含量越高，水分子需要克服的传输能垒越高.进一步，吸水导致聚氨酯弹性体的拉伸断裂强度、100%定伸强度和拉伸模量等力学性能出现明显的下降，这不仅是由于水分子与聚氨酯弹性体的软段相发生了增塑作用，而且水分子也与部分硬段相微区发生了作用，导致部分硬段相微区瓦解.

Synthesis and properties of aromatic polyureas from N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)-substituted aromatic diamines and aromatic diisocyanates

Silylated aromatic polyureas were synthesized by the polyaddition of N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)-substituted aromatic diamines to aromatic diisocyanates in various organic solvents at a temperature ranging from 30 to 100°C. Colorless and transparent films of the silylated polyureas were obtained by casting directly from these solutions in a dry nitrogen atmosphere. The silylated polyureas thermally decomposed at around 200°C and were easily desilylated with alcohol to convert to almost amorphous aromatic polyureas having inherent viscosities of 0.4–1.0 dL/g. The polyureas exhibited better solubility in organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and dimethyl sulfoxide and had somewhat lower thermal decomposition temperatures (around 300°C) than the polyureas prepared by a conventional method from the parent aromatic diamines and diisocyanates.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Polyureas from Aniline Trimer with TDI, MDI and HDI as pH Sensitive Materials

A series of polyureas were synthesized through the reaction of aniline trimer with toluene‐diisocyanate, diphenylmethane‐4,4′‐diisocyanate, and hexamethylene‐1,6‐diisocyanate, respectively. The chemical structure of these polyureas was characterized and verified by FT‐IR, ¹H NMR, elemental analysis, UV, XRD and CV. The conductivity of these polyureas ranged from 10^?7 to 10^?6 S/cm measured by four‐point‐probe instrument. Compared to the standalone aniline trimer, the stability (thermal stability and electrochemical stability), response range and sensitivity of these polyureas are enhanced. The sensitivity of these polyureas DMF solution to pH value is superior to that of the standalone aniline trimer. The color of the polyureas DMF solution is greatly depended on pH value and the color change process is reversible, whenever from base to acid or from acid to base. These enhancements may give these polyureas more opportunities in order to be used as sensor materials.     

Mass spectral characterization of polymers. Primary thermal fragmentation processes in polyureas

The primary fragmentation processes in the thermal decomposition of polymers were studied in detail on a series of structurally related polyureas by direct pyrolysis with a mass spectrometer. Our results indicate that polyureas I–III undergo a quantitative depolycondensation process analogous to that observed for N-monosubstituted polyurethanes. The thermal decomposition of polyureas IV–VI proceeds by intramolecular hydrogen transfer processes that occur at higher temperatures with respect to depolycondensation. Polycarboxypiperazine VI is decomposed by a single-stage decomposition mechanism that leads to fragments with amino end groups and carbon oxide.     

Design,syntheses, and characterization of new thermoplastic polyureas based on 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene

New thermoplastic polyureas labeled PUn (n = 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, or 10), based on 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) with flexible aliphatic spacers, were synthesized and characterized for the first time. EDOT was chosen as a replacement for the aromatic phenyl group in conventional thermoplastics based on urea linkages to improve solubility without compromising the thermal properties. As synthesized, all the samples exhibited a semicrystalline nature. The glass‐transition and melting temperatures showed a strong dependence on the spacer length. A comparison of the thermal properties of these polyureas with the corresponding phenyl analogues indicated that EDOT was a viable heteroatomic analogue of the phenyl group to be inserted into the main‐chain polyureas without hampering their thermal stability. The polyureas with spacer lengths greater than hexamethylene formed transparent gels in N‐methylpyrrolidone, 1,1,2,2‐tetrachloroethane, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The molecular packing of the polyureas was assigned with wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction studies. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 43: 5823–5830, 2005     

Synthesis and characterization of N-phenylated aromatic polyureas from dianilino compounds and aromatic diisocyanates

N-phenylated aromatic polyureas were synthesized by the polyaddition of dianilino compounds to aromatic diisocyanates in sym-tetrachloroethane at around 100°C. Factors that influence the reaction, such as monomer concentration, reaction solvent, catalyst, temperature, and time, were studied to optimize the conditions for the preparation of high molecular weight polymers. Compared with the analogous unsubstituted aromatic polyureas, the N-phenylated polyureas were almost amorphous and soluble in a variety of solvents and had low glass transition temperatures. Some of the polymers could be cast into transparent flexible films from chloroform solutions.     

Synthesis and thermal characteristics of phosphorus-containing polyureas and copolyureas based on 1-[(dialkoxyphosphinyl)methyl]-2,4- and -2,6-diaminobenzenes

The reactions of 1-[(dialkoxyphosphinyl)methyl]-2,4- and -2,6-diaminobenzenes (1) with various diisocyanates such as tolylene diisocyanate, methylenebis(4-phenylisocyanate), and hexamethylene-1,6-diisocyanate were studied for the synthesis of phosphorus-containing polyureas. Furthermore, diamines 1 were used as comonomers for preparing fire-resistant copolyureas. In addition, the corresponding common polyureas were synthesized for comparative purposes. All polymers were characterized by elemental analysis, inherent viscosity measurements, infrared (IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The relatively low chemical reactivity of 1 toward diisocyanates was interpreted on the basis of their structural features. The phosphorus-containing polyureas showed a lower molecular weight, a lower polymer decomposition temperature, and a higher char yield than the corresponding common polyureas. Their fire-resistance was evaluated by determining the limiting oxygen index value.     

Polyisobutylene‐based segmented polyureas. I. Synthesis of hydrolytically and oxidatively stable polyureas

Novel segmented polyurea elastomers containing soft polyisobutylene (PIB) segments were synthesized and characterized. The key ingredient, primary amine‐telechelic PIB oligomers (NH₂‐PIB‐NH₂) with number average molecular weights of 2500 and 6200 g/mol were synthesized. PIB‐based polyureas were prepared by using various aliphatic diisocyanates and diamine chain extenders with hard segment contents between 9.5 and 46.5% by weight. All copolymers displayed microphase morphologies as determined by dynamic mechanical analysis. Tensile strengths of nonchain‐extended and chain‐extended polyureas showed a linear dependence on the urea hard segment content. PIB‐based polyureas prepared with NH₂‐PIB‐NH₂ of M_n = 2500 g/mol, 4,4′‐methylendbis(cyclohexylisocyantate), and 1,6‐diaminohexane containing 45% hard segment exhibited 19.5 MPa tensile strength which rose to 23 MPa upon annealing at 150 °C for 12 h. With increasing hard segment content, elongation at break decreased from ～ 450% to a plateau of 110%. The hydrolytic and oxidative stability of PIB‐based polyureas were unprecedented. Although commercial “oxidatively resistant” thermoplastic polyurethanes degraded severely upon exposure to boiling water or concentrated nitric acid, the experimental polyureas survived without much degradation in properties. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of ammonium polyphosphate on the mechanism of thermal degradation of polyureas

The thermal decomposition of structurally related N–H and N,N′-disubstituted polyureas (Table I) and their mixtures with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and direct pyrolysis in a mass spectrometer (MS). The N–H polyureas (IV–VI) undergo a quantitative depolymerization process with the formation of oligomers with amine and isocyanate end groups. In contrast, the thermal degradation of the N,N′-disubstituted polyureas (I–III) proceeds by a different mechanism as a function of their chemical structure. The addition of APP lowers the thermal stability of the N,N′-disubstituted polyureas, whereas that of the N–H polyureas is unaltered. However, our data show that APP does not change the nature of the pyrolytic products. The destabilizing effect of the additive can be attributed to the catalytic action of the acid species formed by its thermal decomposition.
