Abstract: | In the X-ray diagrams of some segmented urethane elastomers, so-called hard-segment interferences can be observed which indicate a defined geometrical accumulation of the hard segments. These interferences can easily be traced back to a system of hydrogen bridges between the hard segments. They allow an insight into the geometrical structure of the cross-linking as well as into the mechanism of elongation and thermosetting. |
