Abstract Novel polyurethanes (PUs) based on 2,2,-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethylylidene)]diphenol and 2,2,-[hexane-1,6-diylbis(nitrilomethylylidene)]diphenol as hard segments containing four aromatic diisocyanates (4,4,-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, toluene 2,4-diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, and hexamethylene diisocyanate) have been prepared. Fourier transform infrared, UV spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential thermal analysis have been used to determine the structural characterization and thermal properties of the segmented PUs. All the PUs contain domains of both semicrystalline and amorphous structures, as indicated by X-ray diffraction. The acoustic properties have been calculated with the group contribution method. Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on all the PUs to estimate the cohesive energy density and solubility parameter values, which compare well with the values calculated with the group contribution method. Furthermore, the simulation protocols have been applied to the PUs to produce X-ray diffraction plots to determine the phase morphology of the PUs. The surface properties of the PUs have been estimated from the simulation protocols. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 6032,6046, 2006 [source]


Novel polyurethane elastomer continuous carbon fiber composites: Preparation and characterization

JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 1 2007
Borda
Abstract Preparation and characterization of novel polyurethane (PUR),carbon fiber (CF) composites are reported. The reinforcement of PUR elastomers was achieved using unidirectional continuous CFs with different coatings (uncoated and epoxy and polyester resin coatings) by applying molding for the preparation of PUR-CF composites. Considerable reinforcement of PUR was attained even at relatively low CF content, e.g., maximum stress and Young's modulus of PUR-CF composite at CF content 3% (m/m) were found to be 3,5 and 4,10 times higher than those of the PUR-matrix, respectively. In addition, a linear relationship between the Young's modulus and the CF content was found as well as linear variation of maximum stress with the CF content was also observed. The adhesion of CF to the PUR-matrix was strong in each case as concluded from the strain,stress and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations. However, the extent of reinforcement of PUR at a given CF content was found to depend greatly on the coatings of CF, and increased in the following order: epoxy resin < polyester resin < uncoated. The effect of the coating of CF on the reinforcement of PUR is also discussed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 103: 287,292, 2007 [source]


Synthesis and characterization of novel Schiff base polyurethanes,

Abstract Eight different types of novel polyurethanes (PUs) were synthesized through the polyaddition reaction of 4,4,-(ethane-1,2-diylidenedinitrilo)diphenol and 4,4,-(pentane-1,5-diylidenedinitrilo)diphenol with four different diisocyanates: 4,4,-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, toluene 2,4-diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, and hexamethylene diisocyanate. The resulting PUs were soluble in polar, aprotic solvents. Structures of the diols and PUs were established with ultraviolet,visible, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy data. FTIR and NMR spectral data indicated the disappearance of both hydroxyl and isocyanate groups in the PUs. The thermal properties were investigated with thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The weight losses, glass transitions, onset temperatures, and crystalline melting temperatures were measured. All the PUs exhibited semicrystalline and amorphous morphologies, as indicated by X-ray diffraction. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009. [source]


Synthesis and characterization of novel polyurethanes based on N1,N4 -bis[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methylene]succinohydrazide hard segment,

Abstract This article deals with the synthesis and characterization of novel polyurethanes (PUs) by the reaction between two aromatic diisocyanates (4,4,-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and tolylene 2,4-diisocyanate) and two aliphatic diisocyanates (isophorone diisocyanate and hexamethylene diisocyanate) with N1,N4 -bis[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methylene]succinohydrazide, which acted as hard segment. UV,vis, FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and DSC/TGA analytical technique has been used to determine the structural characterization and thermal properties of the hard segmented PUs. X-ray diffraction revealed that PUs contained semicrystalline and amorphous regions that varied depending upon the nature of the backbone structures. PUs were soluble in polar aprotic solvents. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008 [source]

Synthesis of novel moisture-curable polyurethanes end-capped with trialkoxysilane and their application to one-component adhesives

Yukihiro Nomura
Abstract Novel silane endcappers and novel polyurethanes end-capped with trimethoxysilane (silylated polyurethanes) were developed as water-curable materials in which the curing reaction occurred under humid conditions in the presence of dioctyltin diversatate as a curing catalyst. A variety of amine-terminated trimethoxysilane compounds were synthesized by the Michael addition reaction of commercially available 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane with acrylates, and the resulting silane endcappers were used to react with isocyanate-terminated polyurethanes, providing the silylated polyurethanes. The moisture-curable silylated polyurethanes were used for the preparation of novel one-component and solvent-free adhesives. The evaluated properties were the curing speed, the tensile shear bond strength, and the adherence to some substrates. The longer alkyl chains of the silane endcappers derived from various acrylates led to a slower curing speed, lower tensile strength at break, and longer elongation at break of the silylated polyurethanes. The tensile shear bond strength of the silylated polyurethane-based adhesive decreased with decreasing the trimethoxysilane end-capping ratio, whereas an increase in the adherence was observed. The adherence to the acrylic substrate was improved by changes in the main-chain structure of the polyurethane based on the composition of poly(propylene oxide) and poly(ethylene oxide). © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
