Chain extender plays a significant role in enhancing the final mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPUs) derived from polytetra methylene etherglycol (PTMG) and 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). In this research we focused on the effect that mixed chain extender of ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) used has on the phase behavior and morphology of high hard block content TPUs. DSC, FTIR, and mechanical testing were mainly used to characterize the morphology and properties of the TPUs materials. Through this work we were able to show that mixed ratio of different chain extenders had dramatic effects on the properties of the TPUs. After mixing EG and BDO, the degree of hydrogen bonding, melting temperature, tensile strength, tear strength, and hardness of TPUs are all reduced, the glass transition temperature is increased. when the mixing ratio is 1: 1 , the elongation at break is increased to 672% . However, when the mixing ratio is n (EG): n (BDO) = 1: 2, the tensile strength is increased to 29.2 MPa, and the elongation at break is reduced to 353%.

AbstractPBT sheets were extruded from T-die using a single extruder and were winded by a take-up roller controlled at 50°C and with speed at 1.2 m/min. Oriented PBT sheets were prepared with various winding roll speeds at 3.6, 4.8 and 6.0 m/min. Fine structure and physical properties of PBT sheets thus obtained were investigated by measuring the molecular orientation, crystal structure, dynamic visco-elasticity, thermal and mechanical properties, sonic modulus, etc. PBT melts were found to be readily crystallizable in the sheet. In the case of roll drawing, the DRmax of PBT sheet was 5. The PBT sheets prepared from winding speed at 6 m/min showed polymorphism of both α- and β-form crystallites with crystallinity of about 24%. In the tri-directional WAXD patterns, the PBT sheets by the roll drawing method turned out to be oriented in the uniplanar-axial form. For the roll drawn PBT sheets with various winding speeds, large orientation effects were observed in the winding direction together with improved thermal and mechanical properties.

A comparative analysis of thermal properties of semi-crystalline and amorphous polymeric materials was carried out. Samples were produced using 3D printing technology on the SIGNAL-ATMAT printer. The following polymeric materials were used to make the samples: thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, acryloni-trile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, Laywood, ethylene terephthalate, poly (lactic acid). The materials were tested for their thermal and mechanical properties. The research included the analysis of thermal properties by differential scanning calorimetry of manufactured materials. The tensile strength also was determined.
