Abstract
A number of polyurethane prepolymers based on polycaprolactone diol (PCL) and 4,4′-diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI) were synthesized and extended with different dianilines such as: 4,4′-methylenebis(2,6-diisopropylaniline) (M-DIPA), 4,4′-methylenebis(2,6diethylaniline) (M-DEA), 4,4′-methylenebis(ortho chloroaniline) (MOCA), 4,4′-methylenebis(2-isopropyl-6-methylaniline) (M-MIPA) and 4,4′-methylenebis(3-chloro-2,6-diethylaniline) (M-CDEA). Infrared (IR) spectroscopy was used to check the end of the polymerization reaction in addition to the polymer characterization. The effect of the dianiline structure on the thermal properties of the cast films were studied through dynamic mechanical measurements (DMTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. It was found that the thermal properties and thermal stability of polyurethane are strongly affected by the molecular structure of the dianiline chain extender.
