A series of thermoplastic polyurethane copolymers were prepared from polypropyleneglycol(PPG, MW 3000), 1,4-butanediol, Isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI) and dibutyltin dilaurate(BBT) as catalyst. Studies have been made on the effects of molar ratio of isocyanate /polyol/chain extender on the properties such as tensile and thermal properties. By varying the ration of hard to soft segments, TPU ranging from soft elastomeric polymer to relatively hard elastoplastics and be obtained. The storage modulus and glass transition temperature of TPU increased with increasing the hard segment content.

The variations of the glass transition, melting peaks, molecular weight and its distribution (polydispersity index: PI) due to the annealing temperature and time have been investigated using the thermoplastic segmented polyurethanes (TPUs) and its blends based on the contents of hard segment. The position of the melting peak and its magnitude have been increased with the annealing temperature and time. This may be arised from the rearrangement of the microdomain structure due to the long-range or short-range segmental motion, the order-disorder transition of non-crystalline microphase, the variation of the domain size or the degree of disorder of crystalline structure by given different thermal histories. The annealing temperature and time affected the molecular weights and polydispersity : the number and weight average molecular weights were increased, while the polydispersity index (PI) deceased at certain temperatures : for TPU-35 at $135^{\circ}C$, for TPU-44 at $170^{\circ}C$ and for TPU-53 at $180^{\circ}C$. The temperatures which give the variations in molecular weights and in PIs are consistent with the annealing temperatures of which $T_3$ solely exists for each sample. Thus it is suggested that the chain dissosiation and recombination simultaneously occur at the above mentioned temperature for each sample.

Alternating polyols of oxymethylene and oxyalkylene were synthesized and used as precursors for thermoplastic poly(ether-ester) elastomers (TPEs). The polyols were synthesized by reacting diols having different methylene units with dichloromethane in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. The number of methylene units in the alkylene oxides was varied from 3 to 6. TPEs were prepared using the polyols as soft segments and poly(butylene terephthalate) units as hard segments. The polyols and TPEs synthesized were characterized using FTIR, NMR, GPC, DSC, and polarized optical microscopy. The polyols showed a profound odd-even effect on the melting (T$_{m}$) and glass transition temperatures (T$_{g}$). Polyols with odd numbers of methylene groups in the alkylene units have higher transition temperatures than polyols with odd number of methylene groups. The tendency is still kept in TPEs, even though the T$_{g}$ of soft segment in TPEs are slightly higher than those of corresponding neat polyols. The T$_{m}$ and T$_{g}$ of soft segments are almost constant in the range of 20 to 60 wt % contents of soft segments. On the other hand, the normalized heat of fusion of hard segment decreased with increasing the content of loft segment.ent.t.ent.

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of polyurethane synthesis by simultaneously measuring resonant frequency and resonant resistance with a quartz crystal analyzer. The rapid decrease of resonant frequency was appeared because automatic catalytic reaction was caused by the polyurethane formed in initial stage of polyurethane synthesis. In prepolymer(PP) synthesis, the resonant frequency was slowly stabilized after a rapid decrease at a certain point of time. But in segmented polyurethane synthesis in which chain-extender was involved, the resonant frequency increased again after a rapid decrease at a certain point of time. It was considered that this tendency took place because the chain-extender, 1,4-butandiol, caused a soft segment to change to a hard segment. The resonant resistance was used in the analysis of mechanism. From the results, the characteristics of polyurethane synthesis could be analyzed on-line using a quartz crystal analyzer, and the synthesis mechanism could also be interpreted.

We prepared temperature-sensitive polyurethane and its water permeation characteristics for possible uses as drug delivery systems. Mechanical properties and Tg of polyurethane depend on the molecular weight of polyol and the amount of hard segment. We confirmed the increase of permeability with temperature. This fact indicates the future use of the present material in drug delivery systems.

열가소성 폴리우레탄(PU)은 우수한 탄성을 갖는 유용한 고분자중의 하나로 섬유나 플라스틱에 널리 사용되고 있다. PU는 상온보다 높은 유리전이 온도(T$_{g}$)를 갖는 유리상의 hard segment와 상온보다 낮은 유리전이 온도(T$_{g}$)를 갖는 고무상의 soft segment로 구성되어 있으며 열역학적으론 비상용성으로 인하여 미세 상분리 구조를 가지게 되어 고무보다 높은 탄성률과 우수한 인장 회복거동을 갖게 된다[1-3]. (중략)

Segmented Polyurethanes Elastomers are a class of polymers having interesting properties which arise from their unique phase-separated structures resulting from the thermodynamic incompatibility of the ingredients[1]. Segmented polyurethane Elastomer generally consists of a segment derived from a polymeric diol and a hard segment from a diisocyanate and a low molecular weight diol(chain extender).(omitted)

Precast Segmental method was developed in germany 1950s. This method has been adoptted in long span girder mainly owing to easy construction effect. But, so far, The limit exists that this method is constructed in a portion of span and hard conveyance and foundation. This study was performed to analysis behavior difference of two rectanglar section girder, spliced girder that was jointed 5-sliced 0.8m segment and monolithic girder that was produced in one body 4m span
