Abstract


A two-phase copolymer DA-coPUs containing of 50% hard-segment has been prepared using a polyoxypropylene-diol with molecular weight of 2000 (Voranol 2000), 4,4 -diphenylmethane diisocyanate
(MDI) and 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol (HDD) via a one-shot, bulk polymerization process. Solution of linear, as-prepared DA-coPUs in N,N-Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) was coated onto pre-heated steel beam. Cross polymerization of the DA-coPUs were carried out using heating under nitrogen at 100◦C for 5 hours. Deformation micromechanics of the DA-coPUs has been studied using simultaneous 4-point bending testing and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that the coating has poorer strain- induced Raman band shift factors than that of pure DA-coPUs [1]
