Studies on novel thermally stable segmented polyurethanes based on thiourea-derivative diols

Novel thermoplastic segmented poly(urethane-thiourea)s (PURs) were synthesized via one-step polymerization from aromatic diols containing sulfur (thiourea linkage) in the main-chain, including terephthaloyl bis (3-(2-hydroxopyridyl) thiourea) (TBHPT) and terephthaloyl bis (3-(5-naphtholyl) thiourea) (TBNT), along with 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate (PDI) as hard segment and 20, 50 and 80 mol% polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a soft segment. The prepared chain extenders and polymers were characterized by conventional methods, and physical properties such as η_inh, solubility, thermal stability and thermal behavior were studied. Easily processable PURs with excellent thermal stability were obtained by incorporating 20 mol% PEG in the soft segment. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that poly(urethane-thiourea)s were fairly stable above 500 °C and own high glass transition temperatures about 263-266 °C. These polymers also showed partially crystalline structures. Ultimately, weight average molecular weights (M_w) of PURs were up to 109 × 10³. Compared to typical polyurethanes, PURs exhibited better thermal stability and T_g’s owing to rigid hard segment structure.

Spectral manifestation of the interaction of polyurethane components with oxide groups

The spectral-structural characteristics of polyurethane compositions with antipyrene fillers were investigated by a method of IR spectroscopy. The changes revealed in the vibrational spectra can be caused by intermolecular interaction of oligoether and diphenylmethane diisocyanate with aluminum-, boron-, and phosphor-containing compounds.__________Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 1, pp. 133–135, January–February, 2005.

Temperature‐Sensitive Amorphous Polyurethanes

Abstract

Shape‐memory polymers based on segmental polyurethanes (PUs) were synthesized from 1,3‐butane diol (1,3‐BD), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and 4,4′‐diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), and characterized in terms of thermomechanical, dynamic mechanical, rheological, and thermal properties. It was found that soft segments (1,3‐BD and HDI) and hard segments (1,3‐BD and MDI) were well phase mixed to give a single glass transition temperature (T _g) that was easily controlled by hard segment content. With the increase in hard segment content, T _g, melt viscosity, rubbery plateau, modulus, relaxation time, and shape recovery increased, and shape fixability for repeated cycles decreased.

采用界面聚合法,以薄荷素油为芯材,以异佛尔酮二异氰酸酯为壁材单体,在催化剂四甲基乙二胺作用下和水反应形成聚脲外壳,制备出了薄荷素油微胶囊.通过扫描电镜、激光粒度分析仪、傅里叶红外光谱仪及热重分析仪分别对香精微胶囊的表面形貌、粒径分布、单体反应情况和热稳定性进行了分析表征.通过紫外可见分光光度计对香精微胶囊包覆率进行了测定.并分析了均质化速率和微胶囊平均粒径的关系以及不同乳化剂种类和芯壁比条件下微胶囊的形貌特征.结果表明,微胶囊平均粒径随均质化速率的增大而减小,下降到1μm左右时趋于平稳,当乳化剂采用聚乙烯醇且芯壁比为4∶1时,微胶囊形貌最佳,为规整球形.最终测得微胶囊芯材包覆率为84.09 wt%,粉末状微胶囊样品含油率为72.64 wt%,并且微胶囊芯材具有良好的热稳定性.     

Synthesis of novel Y-type polyurethane containing azomethine moiety, as non-linear optical chromophore and their properties

3,4-Di-(2′-hydroxyethoxy)-4′-nitrobenzylidene II was prepared by condensation reaction of 3,4-dihydroxy-4′-nitrobenzylidene I with 1-chloro-2-ethanol. Monomer II was reacted with p-phenylene diisocyanate to yield polyurethane containing the non-linear optical chromophore 3,4-di-(2′-hydroxyethoxy)-4′-nitrobenzylidene. Polymer III shows thermal stability up to 300 °C in TGA thermogram. T_g value of the polymer obtained from DSC thermogram was 110 °C. The resulting polyurethane III was soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone, DMF and DMSO. The values of electro optic coefficient d₃₃ and d₃₁ of the poled polymer film were 3.15 × 10 ⁻⁷ and 1.5 × 10 ⁻⁷ esu, respectively.     

Polyurethane Based Materials for the Production of Biomedical Materials

Polyurethanes (PUs) composed by hard and soft segments have been extensively used in the manufacturing of biocompatible prosthesis and medical devices. A broad variety of PUs can be obtained by modifying the balance between both segments. In the present work, different basically-flexible PUs have been prepared by employing different combinations of aliphatic hexamethylene diisocyanate, poly(ethylene glycol) (Mw 400 Da), poly(ϵ-caprolactone) diol (Mw 530 Da), and 1,4-butanediol. Thermal analysis of the synthesized PUs demonstrated high thermal stability and the assumption of glassy state well below room temperature, in agreement with their marked flexibility. Morphological characterization of PUs films indicated that films prepared by spin coating were smoother and more homogeneous than those obtained by casting. Biological assays performed by using 3T3/BALB-C mouse embryo fibroblast cell line confirmed the absence of toxicity and hence the biocompatibility of PU-films.     

Preparation and properties of polyimides and polyamide-imides from diisocyanates

Polyimides of different structures were synthesized by reaction of 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate (PPDI) and 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate (NDI) with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA). Polyamide-imides were also prepared by reaction of PPDI and NDI with trimellitic anhydride. The optimized condition for polymerization reactions were obtained via the study of model compounds. All polymers and model compounds were characterized by conventional methods. Physical properties of polymers, including thermal behavior, thermal stability, solution viscosity, and solubility behavior, were also studied. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Influence of chain extension on the compatibilization and properties of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate)/linear low density polyethylene blends

Polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI) was added as chain extender to a blend of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (R-PET) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) with compatibilizer of maleic anhydride-grafted poly(styrene-ethylene/butadiene-styrene) (SEBS-g-MA). Hydroxyl end groups of PET can react with both isocyanate groups of PMDI and maleic anhydride groups of SEBS-g-MA, which are competing reactions during reactive extrusion. The compatibility and properties of the blends with various contents of PMDI were systemically evaluated and investigated. WAXD results and SEM observations indicated that chain extension inhibits the reaction between PET and SEBS-g-MA. As the PMDI content increased, the morphology of dispersed phase changed from droplet dispersion to rodlike shape and then to an irregular structure. The DSC results showed that the crystallinity of PET decreased in the presence of PMDI, and the glass transition temperature (T_g) of PET increased with addition of 0-0.7 w% PMDI. The impact strength of the blend with 1.1 w% PMDI increased by 120% with respect to the blend without PMDI, accompanied by only an 8% tensile strength decrease. It was demonstrated that the chain extension of PET with PMDI in R-PET/LLDPE/SEBS-g-MA blends not only decreased the compatibilization effect of SEBS-g-MA but also hindered the crystallization of PET.
