Mechanical and dielectric properties of two series of segmented polyurethanes having soft segment concentration of 50 and 70% and a varying degree of crosslinking through the hard segment were studied. The degree of crosslinking in each series was varied by varying the butane diol/trimethylol propan

✦ Synopsis
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 crosslinking on properties was examined. It was found that chemical crosslinks in the hard segment reduce the mobility of the soft phase and destroy the crystallinity of the hard phase, but they improve heat stability of the hard domains.
