New thermoplastic poly(carbonate-urethane) elastomersTwo series of novel thermoplastic poly(carbonate-urethane) elastomers, with different hard-segment content (30 - 60 wt %), were synthesized by melt polymerization from poly(hexane-1,6-diyl carbonate) diol of Mn= 2000 as a soft segment, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) or hexane-1,6-diyl diisocyanate (HDI) and 6,6'-[methylenebis(1,4-phenylenemethylenethio)]dihexan-1-ol as a chain extender. The structure and basic properties of the polymers were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, atomic force microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, Shore hardness and tensile tests. The resulting TPUs were colorless polymers, showing almost amorphous structures. The MDI-based TPUs showed higher tensile strengths (up to 21.3 MPa vs. 15.8 MPa) and elongations at break (up to 550% vs. 425%), but poorer low-temperature properties than the HDI-based analogs.

Associative polyurethane (PU) thickener has been synthesized by preparing the prepolymer with the reaction of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), which then end-capping with long-chain alkanol. The synthesis process, as well as hydrophilic chain length, theoretical molecular weight, solvent ratio, and thickener percentages, has been researched. The results shows that it reaches the upmost thickening effect when the theoretical molecular weight is under 20000, soft-segment length is under 4000, solvent ratio is 1 : 1, and thickener percentages are controlled at 10%. Furthermore, thickening mechanism of PU thickener has been analyzed detailedly through the measurement of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of PU thickener and analysis of the influence of PU thickener on the particle size and morphology of PU dispersions. It has been observed from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that the PU aqueous dispersions produce a certain degree of flocculation when the PU thickener was added, and this flocculation structure has been proved to be a thixotropic structure through the characterization of the change of particle size before and after the thickener is introduced into the PU aqueous dispersions. The CMC measurement results present that the thickening effect will be apparent when the concentration is controlled in a low range.

Abstract 1. Densities of elastomers with crystallizing soft segments were higher than that of the noncrystallizing ones. However, the effect of the soft segment length is not regular and may reflect some specific interactions between two phases as well as instantaneous morphology. 2. Phase inversion as judged by drop of hardness takes place at about ssc=60° or more; a shift to higher ssc gives a greater segment length. 3. Tg of the soft segment in samples with well separated phases is independent of ssc, e.g., the presence of hard phase does not change mobility of the soft phase in samples with ssc=50° or more, in all series. However, Tg is strongly dependent on the soft-segment length. Tg for the soft segment of Mn=650 was −43°C, for Mn=1000 was −62°C, and for Mn=2000, Tg was −75°C. The effect of the presence of the hard phase on mobility of the soft phase seems to vanish for M>2500. 4. Tg of the hard segment at 77°C was clearly observed only in quenched samples with a high hard-segment concentration (80%) and at 93°C in a pure hard segment. 5. Melting of both phases were observed in polymers with long soft segments (Mn=2000). Soft segments of Mn=650 and 1000 do not crystallize. The hard phase crystallizes if its Mn is about 1000 or more or if the degree of polymerization of the hard segment is 3 or above, although exceptions were found in the A series. 6. Spherulitic structures were observed in polymers with low ssc (20% and 40%) polymers and in one with ssc=80°. Thus, both hard and soft phases can form spherulitic structures.
