Abstract

In the reported experiments, a systematic series of segmented polyester-MDI polyurethanes were investigated by SAXS, DSC and stress strain measurements. The linear polymer as well as three peroxide cured samples of different crosslinking levels were utilized. Correlations were made between time-dependent changes in structure and mechanical properties following specific thermal treatments. Higher crosslinking leads to lower final domain formation and to lower modulus. Also, the cross-linked samples had their domain texture more easily disrupted at lower temperature than did the linear system. Finally, the rate of phase separation upon cooling was increased as the degree of crosslinking was decreased.
