Trifluoroacetylation has been successfully applied to polyamides in order to obtain polymers soluble in aprotic solvents; trifluoroacetylation of polyurethanes was reported to be much slower. In this work, the results of a study of the effect of trifluoroacetic anhydride/NH molar ratio, reaction tim

β¦ Synopsis
The synthesis of a hydroxylated polyurethane, by reduction with diborane of the corresponding carboxylated polymer, is described. The starting polyurethane, of the segmented type, contains as chain extender dihydroxymethylpropionic acid. Various conditions for hydrogenation of the carboxy group have been investigated, and it was possible to transform quantitatively carboxy into hydroxymethyl groups, without hydrogenolytic reactions affecting the main chain of the polymer. The obtained polymer was characterized by chemical titration, viscometry, i.r., NMR and DSC.

## Abstract Various segmented polyurethanes with a hard segment content of about 50 wt% were prepared from 4,4β²βdiphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), a poly(tetramethylene adipate) glycol with an __M__~n~ of 2000, and various combinations of aliphatic diols as chain extenders by a oneβshot, handβcast
The thermal stabilities of two series of segmented polyurethane fibres have been compared with their chemical structure. The polyurethanes were synthesized from trimethylene diamine; 4, 4' diphenylmethane di-isocyanate and two polyether based macrodi-isocyanates. Thermal stability was measured by th
