New Polyurethane Urea Thermoplastic Elastomers with Controlled Mechanical and Thermal Properties for Medical Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

The method of synthesis of new polyurethane urea thermoplastic elastomers with controlled physical network density by varying the crystallization rate of the soft block and the structure of the interphase has been developed. Fine-tuning of morphology and mechanical properties allows to desighn adaptive materials with shape memory. By combination of calorimetric and X-ray diffraction methods, the influence of chemical nature of diaisocyanates and the ratio of two types of crystallizable blocks, polybutylene glycol adipate diol (PBA) and poly-ε-caprolactone diol (PCL), on the structure and termal behavior of the thermoplastic elastomers has been studied.
