A series of polyether– or polyester–polyurethanes based on tetrahydrofuran–propylene oxide copolyether diol (PTMG/PPG) or poly(ethylene terephthalate) diol (PET), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and three kinds of chain extenders including two calix[4]arene derivatives and 3,3´-dichloro-4,4´-diaminodiphenylmethane (MOCA) were synthesized in toluene. The thermal stability and mechanical properties of solvent-type polyurethanes were investigated. Incorporation of calixarenes into polyurethane backbones improved the thermal properties of the polyurethane as a result of the residual phenol hydroxy groups of the calix[4]arene units. Compared with polyurethane chain-extended by MOCA, the polyurethanes with calix[4]arene derivatives had higher elongation at break, lower elastic modulus, and lower yield strength, as a result of the larger steric cubage of calix[4]arene units and relatively large free volume of the polymer.

Abstract The main aim of this study was to improve the mechanical properties of the recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (r-PET/PEN) blends by enhancing the miscibility between PET and PEN with the usage of chain extenders. This idea was novel for the recycled PET-based r-PET/PEN blends, as investigation of the effects of the chain extender usage on the properties of r-PET/PEN blends has not been studied in the literature, according to our knowledge. 1,4-Phenylene-bis-oxazoline (PBO), 1,4-phenylene-di-isocyanate (PDI), and triphenyl phosphite (TPP) were selected as chain extenders. The maximum tensile strength value was observed for the 1.0PDI sample. Moreover, PDI-based blends exhibited better Izod impact strength when compared with all other samples. The miscibility and degree of crystallinity values of all blends were discussed by means of thermal analysis. 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) analysis was carried out to determine transesterification reaction levels. According to 1H-NMR results, the increase in the level of transesterification was around 40% with the usage of PDI. The optimum loading level for selected chain extenders was determined as 1 wt.%, and PDI-based blends exhibited better properties when compared with those of the blends based on PBO and TPP at this loading level.
