Dg. Hundiwale et al., EFFECT OF MACROGLYCOL STRUCTURE AND ITS MOLECULAR-WEIGHT ON PHYSICOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYURETHANES, Journal of applied polymer science, 55(9), 1995, pp. 1329-1333
The molecular weight of polyester polyol plays an important role in co
ntrolling mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of polyurethane
s. Two systems are studied for evaluation of these properties. Since t
he properties of polyurethanes are derived from the properties of vari
ous constituents involved in their synthesis, the magnitude of propert
ies of polyurethanes are also studied. Dynamic mechanical properties a
re analyzed using a dynamic mechanical analyzer that employs the princ
iple of compound resonance. (C) 1995 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
