## SYNOPSIS Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE)-modified polyester prepolymers with NCO end groups were synthesized. The chain-extension reactions of the prepolymers with 3,3'-dichloro-4,4'diaminodiphenylmethane were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and found to change from second-ord

✦ Synopsis
The effect of solvent on the reactivity of a polyisocyanate (Desmodur L75) is reported. It is found that this molecule in certain solvent mixtures is less reactive than predicted and the possibility of solvent sheath effects reducing the "effective" reactivity is discussed. The implications of these effects on the cure of films formed from the reaction of the polyisoeyanate with a hydroxy-terminated polyester are examined in the context of observed changes in the dynamic mechanical properties.

Poly(esterurethane) elastomers were synthesized by a pre-polymer process. The pre-polymer based on poly(caprolactone) (capa-225) and toluenediisocyanate (TDI) was mixed with 1,4-butane diol (BDO) or dihydroquinone (HQ) in capa-225 (known as the quasi pre-polymer process) and then reacted in a mould.
Dielectric relaxation measurements are reported on a series of segmented polyurethane elastomers produced with mixtures of varying 1:3 and 1:4 butanediol as chain extender. The changes observed in the glass transition temperature, activation energies for dipolar relaxation and the nature of the disp
Two series of segmented polyurethanes, one containing 50% soft segments and the other with 70% soft segments were synthesized. Chemical crosslinks were introduced through the hard segment in a controlled way. Chemical polyurethane networks were characterized by swelling. The effect of the degree of
