✦ Synopsis

The mechanical properties of materials prepared by a new method for modifying the structure of polyurethane/poly (methyl methacrylate) (PU/PMMA) interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) by using a reactive azo initiator were investigated by means of tensile test, tear test, and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) measurement. The structures of these IPNs were similar to the particulate filled elastomers. It was found that the reactive initiator, which could form blocks of PMMA within the PU matrix (rubber), changed both the filler-matrix interface and the matrix structure. The mechanical properties of these IPNs were dominated by the matrix structure and the interface.

The synthesis of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPUs) is generally carried out using the prepolymer method. To study the influence that the properties of the prepolymer may have in the final TPUs, four TPUs were prepared by using different NCO/OH ratios. The prepolymers and the macroglycol u
