H. Rajan et al., SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF SEGMENTED POLYURETHANE USING PHENOLPHTHALEIN AS CHAIN EXTENDERS, Journal of applied polymer science, 48(12), 1993, pp. 2095-2099
Three series of novel polyurethane elastomers containing phenolphthale
in as chain extenders were synthesized. The structure of the polyureth
ane was analyzed using IR and wide-angle X-ray diffraction studies. Te
nsile strength and percentage of elongation of all the series of polym
ers were studied. Thermal decomposition was studied using differential
scanning calorimetry.
