THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS. II. POLY(ETHER-ESTER-IMIDE)S BASED ON 1,4-DIAMINOBUTANE,TRIMELLITIC ANHYDRIDE, 1,4-DIHYDROXYBUTANE,AND POLY(ETHYLENE OXIDE)S

A series of new poly(ether-ester-imide)s, PEEIs, was prepared from an imide dicarboxylic acid based on 1,4-diaminobutane and trimellitic anhydride. This imide dicarboxylic acid polycondensed with 1,4-dihydroxybutane formed the hard segments and poly(ethylene oxide), PEO-1000, or mixtures of PEO-1000 and poly(tetramethylene oxide), PTMO-1000, were used as soft segments. Whenever PTMO-1000 was used as comonomer, macrophase separation was observed at the end of the polycondensation. However, this macrophase separation had little influence on the mechanical properties. A poly(ether-esterimide), PEEI, containing neat PEO-1000 was characterized by dynamic mechanical thermoanalysis, stress-strain and hysteresis measurements, and by melt rheology. The mechanical properties were compared with those of an analogous PEEI containing neat PTMO-1000 and with those of a poly(ether-ester), PEE, based on poly(butylene terephthalate) hard segments and PTMO-1000.     

New type of thermoplastic multiblock elastomers––poly(ester-block-amide)s––based on oligoamide 12 and oligoester prepared from dimerized fatty acid

Multiblock poly(ester-block-amide)s (PEA) elastomers comprising hard blocks of oligoamide and oligoester soft segments were prepared and their structure-property relations were analysed. The polycondensation reaction of oligoesters (prepared from 1,4-butanediol and dimerized fatty acid) with oligolaurolactam (PA12) gave copolymer series with variable blocks content (the soft segments content was varied from 24 to 60 wt.%). PEAs are the phase system composed of crystallised sequences of oligoamide (hard segment phase) as well as oligoesters (soft segment phase). Mixing between the hard and soft phases was studied by thermal and mechanical measurements (DSC, DMTA). These results have indicated on a multiphase structure of investigated materials. The relationship between the observed thermal and tensile properties and the soft/hard segments content indicated on an increase of the phase separation with soft segments content.

Segmented polyurethanes derived from novel siloxane–carbonate soft segments for biomedical applications

A novel macrodiol based on mixed silicone and carbonate chemistries was synthesized and used as a soft segment precursor in the synthesis of two series of segmented polyurethane (PU) copolymers varying in hard segment content and soft segment molecular weight. The hard segments in these copolymers were derived from 4,4‐methylene diphenyl diisocyanate and 1,4‐butane diol. The phase transitions, microphase separation behavior, and mechanical properties of the copolymers were investigated using a variety of experimental methods. When compared with segmented PU copolymers having predominately poly(dimethyl siloxane) soft segments, these siloxane–carbonate soft segment copolymers exhibit enhanced intersegment mixing, and consequently relatively low mechanical modulus. With relatively low modulus and siloxane units in the soft phase, the siloxane–carbonate PUs have potential for use in cardiac and orthopedic biomedical applications. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and properties of polycyanoethylmethylsiloxane polyurea urethane elastomers: A study of segmental compatibility

A series of polyurea urethane block polymers based on either aminopropyl-terminated polycyanoethylmethylsiloxane (PCEMS) soft segments or soft segment blends of PCEMS and polytetramethylene oxide (PTMO) were synthesized. The hard segments consisted of 4,4′-methylenediphenylene diisocyanate (MDI) chain-extended with 1,4-butanediol. The hard segment content varied from 11 to 36%, whereas the PTMO weight fraction in the soft segment blends varied from 0.1 to 0.9. The cyanoethyl side group concentration was also varied during the synthesis of the PCEMS oligomer. The morphology and properties of these polymers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy, dynamic mechanical and tensile testing, and small-angle x-ray scattering. These materials exhibited microphase separation of the hard and soft segments; however, attaching polar cyanoethyl side groups along the apolar siloxane chains promoted phase mixing in comparison with polydimethylsiloxane-based polyurethanes. The increased phase mixing is postulated to lead to improved interfacial adhesion and thus can account for the observed improvement in ultimate tensile properties compared with polydimethylsiloxane-based polyurethanes. Both hard segment content and cyanoethyl concentration are important factors governing the morphological and tensile properties of these polymers.

Gas permeability of cupric ion containing HTPB based polyurethane membranes

For the purpose of oxygen enrichment from air, the gas permeability and selectivity of an ionic polyurethane membrane was under investigation. Membranes of ionic polyurethane were prepared by step-growth polymerization of hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and 4,4′-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (H₁₂MDI). The ionic group was introduced by adding N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) as the chain extender of which the tertiary amines were complexed with cupric ions. The effect of hard segment content, polymerization method, peroxide introduction, and the amount of cupric ion on gas permeability were investigated. It was found that the binding of hard segment and the flexibility of soft segments had subtle effects on gas permeability. Membranes of the same composition were synthesized through two different procedures, one- and two-stage polymerization. The former contains large hard segment of cluster aggregation and flexible soft segments had a higher gas permeation rate. When a crosslinker, benzoyl peroxide, was added, the crosslinkage within soft segments hindered cluster formation by hard segment aggregation, the permeability increased. Furthermore, CuCl₂ addition enhanced hard segment aggregation, more hard segments formed cluster aggregates and less dispersed in soft segment region, which also increased permeability. However, excess CuCl₂ addition resulted in CuCl₂ piling up in the soft segment region, which restricted the movement of soft segments and therefore reduced the gas permeability.     

Synthesis and properties of poly(ester urethanes) based on cellulose triacetate

Segmented poly(ester urethanes) were synthesized from oligomeric cellulose triacetate diols, poly(caprolactone)diols, and 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate. The effects of the molecular mass and structure of soft and hard segments of poly(ester urethanes) on their thermal behavior, mechanical properties, and degradation in aqueous solutions of a phosphate buffer were studied by DSC and IR spectroscopy. The combination of soft segments derived from poly(caprolactone)diols with M = (1.0–3.5) × 10³, hard segments based on depolymerized cellulose triacetate with M = (2–4) × 10³, and 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate makes it possible to synthesize poly(ester urethanes) with excellent mechanical characteristics. The degree of crystallinity of these polymers increases with a decrease in the molecular mass of the depolymerized cellulose triacetate block in the hard segment. As the soft segment lengthens, phase separation between domains of soft and hard segments becomes more pronounced. Upon incorporation of poly(ethylene glycol) blocks into the soft segments of poly(ester urethanes), their hydrophobicity is enhanced and biodegradability is accelerated.     

Parameters affecting transition temperatures of poly(lactic acid‐co‐polydiols) copolymer‐based polyester urethanes and their shape memory behavior

A series of polyester urethanes (PEUs) comprising poly(lactic acid‐co‐polydiol) copolymers as a soft segment, 4,4′‐diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and 1,4‐butanediol (BDO) as a hard segment were systematically synthesized. Soft segments, which were block copolymers of L ‐lactide (LA) and polydiols such as poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(trimethylene ether glycol), were prepared via ring opening polymerization. Glass transition temperatures (T_g) of the obtained PEUs were found strongly dependent on properties of copolymer soft segments. By simply changing composition ratio, type and molecular weight of polydiols in the soft segment preparation step, T_g of PEU can be varied in the broad range of 0–57°C. The synthesized PEUs exhibited shape memory behavior at their transition temperatures. PEUs with hard segment ratio higher than 65 mole percent showed good shape recovery. These findings suggested that it is important to manipulate molecular structure of the copolymer soft segment for a desirable transition temperature and design optimal soft to hard segment ratio in PEU for good shape recovery.

Structure and properties of segmented poly(urethaneurea)s with relatively short hard‐segment chains

We report the structure and properties of segmented poly(urethaneurea) (SPUU) with relatively short hard‐segment chains. The SPUU samples comprised poly(tetramethylene glycol) prepolymer as a soft segment and 4,4′‐diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) units as a hard segment that were extended with ethylenediamine. To discuss quantitatively the conformation of the soft‐segment chain in the microphase‐separated domain space, we used SPUU samples for which the molecular weights of the hard‐ and soft‐segment chains are well characterized. The effects of the cohesive force in the hard‐segment chains on the structure and properties of SPUU were also studied with samples of different chain lengths of the hard segment, although the window of x_H, the average number of MDI units in a hard‐segment chain, was narrow (2.38 ≤ x_H ≤ 2.77). There were urethane groups in the soft segments and urea groups in the hard segments. Because of a strong cohesive force between the urea groups, we could control the overall cohesive force in the hard‐segment chains by controlling the chain lengths of the hard segment. First of all, microphase separation was found to be better developed in the samples with longer hard‐segment chains because of an increase of the cohesive force. It was also found that the interfacial thickness became thinner. The long spacing for the one‐dimensionally repeating hard‐ and soft‐segment domains could be well correlated with the molecular characteristics when the assumption of Gaussian conformation was employed for the soft‐segment chains. This is unusual for strongly segregated block copolymers and might be characteristic of multiblock copolymers containing rod–coil chains. The tensile moduli and thermal stability temperature, T_H, increased with an increase of the cohesive force, whereas the glass‐transition temperature, the melting temperature, and the degree of crystallinity of the soft‐segment chains decreased. The increase in T_H especially was appreciable, although the variation in the chain length of the hard segment was not profound. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of poly(dimethylsiloxane‐urethane) elastomers: Effect of hard segments of polyurethane on morphological and mechanical properties

A series of poly(dimethylsiloxane‐urethane) elastomers based on hexamethylenediisocyanate, toluenediisocyanate, or 4,4′‐methylenediphenyldiisocyanate hard segment and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) soft segment were synthesized. In this study, a new type of soft‐segmented PDMS crosslinker was synthesized by hydrosilylation reaction of 2‐allyloxyethanol with polyhydromethylsiloxane, using Karstedt's catalyst. The synthesized soft‐segmented crosslinker was characterized by FT‐IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic techniques. The mechanical and thermal properties of elastomers were characterized using tensile testing, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamical mechanical analysis measurements. The molecular structure of poly(dimethylsiloxane‐urethane) membranes was characterized by ATR‐FTIR spectroscopic techniques. Infrared spectra indicated the formation of urethane/urea aggregates and hydrogen bonding between the hard and soft domains. Better mechanical and thermal properties of the elastomers were observed. The restriction of chain mobility has been shown by the formation of hydrogen bonding in the soft and hard segment domains, resulting in the increase in the glass‐transition temperature of soft segments. DSC analysis indicates the phase separation of the hard and soft domains. The storage modulus (E′) of the elastomers was increasing with increase in the number of urethane connections between the hard and soft segments. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Control of hard segment size in polyurethane formation

In general, segmented polyurethane elastomers are prepared by reacting an isocyanate-capped polyol prepolymer with a short-chain diol chain extender, yielding an elastomer with hard segments of uniform size. However, the hard segment size will not be uniform if the polyurethane polymer is prepared by forming the hard segment first, followed by soft segment formation. Because the mechanical properties of polyurethane elastomers depend on the relative ratio of the hard to soft segments as well as the effectiveness of the hard segment as a physical crosslinker, the control of the size distribution of the hard segment is a key factor in designing polyurethane elastomers. It was found that reaction conditions can affect the size distribution of hard segments derived from an aliphatic diisocyanate with differential reactivity between the two isocyanate groups. Lower reaction temperatures and simultaneous mixing of all reactants gave the preferred size distribution of hard segments. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis and Properties of Novel Thermal Stable Thermoplastic Poly(ester-imide-ether) Elastomers Based on N,N′-Bis(2-carboxyethyl)-3,3′,4,4′ Biphenyltetracarboxylimide Unit with Excellent Mechanical Properties

A series of thermoplastic poly(ester-imide-ether) (PEIE) elastomers, with different ratios of soft/hard segment 85/15, 80/20 and 70/30, were prepared from 1, 4-butanediol (BD), poly(tetramethylene glycol) (PTMG) and imide dicarboxylic acid monomer based on 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and glycine (GLY). The chemical structures of the imide dicarboxylic acid and PEIEs were characterized by FT-IR and ¹H-NMR, respectively. The intrinsic viscosities, thermal properties and mechanical properties of these PEIEs were investigated. The results show that introduction of imide group endows the PEIEs with excellent thermal stability, the melting point of PEIEs at about 220°C, and the temperature of 5% weight loss appears at the range of 332–358°C. In addition, the mechanical properties of PEIEs are also improved with the increment of imide units, the maximum stress and strain reached to 17.15 MP and 1043.75%, respectively.     

Random thermotropic elastomers. I. Effects of substitution and hard/soft segment lengths on properties

Syntheses of segmented copoly(ether-ester)s with (oxy-2-methyl-1,4-phenyleneoxycarbonyl-1,4-phenylene carbonyl)/(oxy-2-chloro-1,4-phenyleneoxycarbonyl-1,4-phenylene carbonyl) (methyl-/chloro-substituted) hard segments and poly(oxytetramethylene) soft segments, are reported. The methodology consisted of staged addition melt condensation of terephthaloyl chloride, poly(oxytetramethylene)glycol (POTMG; \[ \bar M_n \] = 250, 650, 1000, 2000) and methyl-/chloro-hydroquinone. Lengths of hard and soft segments were varied while the weight ratio of hard to soft segment was maintained constant. Copolymers were characterised for solubility behavior, and by infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, DSC, and polarizing microscopy. Thermal properties were found to be dependent on length of soft segment as well as on the type of substituent in the mesogenic core. In both methyl- as well as chloro-substituted copoly(ether-ester)s soft segment glass transition temperature (T_gs) was obtained between ?40 and ?50°C. All copoly(ether-ester)s are elastomeric at room temperature (25°C). These polymers exhibit thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior and were easily sheared and aligned in liquid crystalline state. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Shape memory fiber spun with segmented polyurethane ionomer

The effect of cationic groups within hard segments on shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) fibers was studied and the cyclic tensile testing was conducted to assess the shape memory effect. Mechanical properties, hard segment crystallization, and dynamic mechanical properties of SMPU ionomer fibers composed of 1,4‐butanediol (BDO), N‐methyldiethanolamine (NMDA), 4,4′‐methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate) (MDI), and poly(butylene adipate)diol (PBA) were investigated using a universal tensile tester, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The results demonstrate that only 2 wt% NMDA can significantly change the glass transition temperature of the soft segment phase. DSC shows that the ionic group within hard segments can facilitate the crystallization of hard segments in unsteamed SMPU ionomer fibers. But for steamed fiber specimens, this effect is insignificant. Moreover, the ionic groups in hard segments with different hard segment contents (HSC) have different effects. In unsteamed fibers with 64 wt% HSC, 2 wt% NMDA increases the glass transition of soft segments from 63.5 to 70.6°C. However, in fibers with 55 wt% HSC, the glass transition temperature is lowered from 46.7 to 33.5°C. The post‐treatment, high‐pressure steaming is an effective way to remove the internal stress and subsequently improve the dimensional stability of SMPU ionomer fibers.

Hydrogen bonding and mechanical properties of thin films of polyether-based polyurethane-silica nanocomposites

Two series of thin films of polyether-based polyurethane-silica nanocomposites having hard segment content of 51% and 34% and different concentrations of SiO₂ nanoparticles (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 vol.%) have been prepared. Infrared linear dichroic (LDIR) ratio, mechanical and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were performed in order to determine the influence of hydrogen bonding on their mechanical and thermal properties. The degree of phase separation (DPS) and orientational functions in dependence on strain were calculated from the polarized IR spectra. The presence of silica nanoparticles gives rise to significant differences in the mechanical (stress-strain) properties of the nanocomposites with regard to the pure polymer. The nanocomposite thin films with lower hard segment content (HSC) displayed decreased stiffness and tensile and increased elongation at break in comparison to the nanocomposites with higher HSC. There was no distinctive influence of nanoparticles on the glass transition temperatures of soft segments. Nanosilica significantly affected the melting behavior of the hard phase only in samples with higher HSC.

Characterization of Novel Biodegradable Segmented Polyurethanes Prepared from Amino-Acid Based Diisocyanate

Segmented polyurethanes (SPUs) which were expected to yield non-toxic degradation products were synthesized from lysine-based diisocyanate (LDI), 1,3-propanediol (PDO), and polycaprolactone diol (PCL). SPUs were synthesized via a standard two-step prepolymer method. The hard segment fraction was changed in order to tune the mechanical properties and the degradability. The aggregation structures of the SPUs were characterized by infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), temperature dependence of dynamic viscoelasticity, and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). DSC and dynamic viscoelastic measurements revealed that the glass transition temperature (T_g) of the soft segment increased with an increase in the hard segment fraction. SAXS of SPUs revealed the aggregation states of hard and soft segments. Furthermore, the degradation of SPUs was investigated by exposing the polymers to a buffer solution at 310 K (pH=7.6). The degradation rate of SPUs increased with an increase in the soft segment fraction. This is because the soft segment has the hydrolyzable ester linkages and the ester linkages are susceptible to hydrolysis compared with the urethane linkages. Finally, an electrospray deposition method was used to fabricate biodegradable SPU micro-fibers. FE-SEM images showed that higher concentration of solution favored the formation of uniform biodegradable micro-fibers without beads-like structure.
