Abstract The relationship between the structure of the polymer chains and the abrasion resistance of segmented polyurethane ureas based on polyoxytetramethylene oligoether was studied. Experimental data were obtained for systems with the hard segments content above 39%. It was found that the function of the volumetric wear of polyurethane-urea samples on the content of hard segments had an extremum; at high contents of these segments (more than 35%), a further increase in this content lead to a deterioration in the abrasion resistance. The reasons for this effect can be associated with a sharp deterioration in the strength and strain properties of the studied elastomers when additional amounts of diisocyanate are introduced into the system, which can lead to the formation of excessive interchain bonds.

Three series of segmented polyurethane block copolymers were synthesized using 4,4′-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) or 1,3-bis(4-hydroxybutyl)tetramethyl disiloxane (BHTD) as the hard segments, and soft segments composed of poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS)-based and poly(hexamethylene oxide) (PHMO) macrodiols. Copolymers synthesized with the PDMS macrodiol and PDMS and PHMO macrodiol mixtures consist of three microphases: a PDMS phase, hard domains, and a mixed phase of PHMO (when present), PDMS ether end-group segments and some dissolved hard segments. Degrees of phase separation were characterized using small-angle X-ray scattering by applying a pseudo two-phase model, and the morphology resulting from unlike segment demixing was found to be closely related to the in vitro oxidative biostability of these segmented polyurethanes.

Abstract The discussion in this paper has been focused on the strength of Polyurethane elastomers, data on other materials being presented for comparison and to illustrate factors that affect strength. Although the literature on Polyurethane elastomers is voluminous, only in recent years has it been widely recognized that plastic domains exist in most polyurethane formulations of technological importance. Evidence for domain formation and aspects of domain morphology are discussed in recent reviews. The morphology of domains in segmented polyurethane elastomers is more complex than of those in triblock elastomers and has not been studied extensively, although progress is being made, indicated by the discussions in recent publications and references cited therein. In view of the complexities of fracture and the limited information on the morphology and time-dependent mechanical properties of polyurethane elastomers, only general relations between strength and chemical structure have thus far been established. On the other hand, useful correlations can be established by considering the type, size, and concentration of the hard segments and whether strain-induced crystallization is a dominant factor.
