| Popis: | Two novel potentially biodegradable thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers with unique structure and morphology were prepared from modified oleic acid. The hardness and mechanical properties were controlled by adjusting the soft segment concentration (SSC). Epoxidized methyl oleate was converted to methyl-9- or −10-hydroxystearate (hydroxystearate) by catalytic hydrogenation. The formed hydroxystearate was transesterified with 1,6-hexanediol to obtain polyesterpolyol with molar mass 2500. Segmented polyurethanes with 50% and 70% SSC were prepared using the prepolymer method by reacting polyesterpolyol with diphenylmethane diisocyanate and 1,4-butanediol as chain extender. Thermal and mechanical properties of the polymers indicated good micro-phase separation. Both soft and hard segments displayed a certain degree of crystallization. Tensile strengths were 18 and 2.4 MPa for samples with 50% and 70% SSC, respectively. Elongations of 130% (50% SSC) and 43% (70% SSC) were somewhat lower than in comparable materials, presumably due to lower molar mass. © 2014 Society of Chemical Industry |
