    Effect of soft segment molecular weight on tensile properties of poly(propylene oxide) based polyurethaneureas
    (Elsevier, 2012) Ertem, Sedef Pırıl; Yılgör, Emel; Söz, Çağla; Wilkes, Garth L.; Zhang, Mingqiang; Yılgör, İskender
    Influence of soft segment molecular weight and hard segment content on the morphology, thermomechanical and tensile properties of homologous polyurethaneurea copolymers based on narrow molecular weight poly(propylene oxide)glycol (PPG) oligomers were investigated. A series of polyurethaneureas with hard segment contents of 12–45% by weight and PPG number average molecular weights of 2000 to 11,800 g/mol were synthesized and characterized structurally by SAXS and mechanically by DMA and stress strain analysis. Bis(4-isocyanatocyclohexyl)methane and 2-methyl-1,5-diaminopentane were used as the diisocyanate and the chain extender respectively. All copolymers displayed microphase separation by SAXS and DMA. The critical entanglement molecular weight (Me) of PPG is reported to be around 7700 g/mol. Our mechanical results suggest that when copolymers possess similar hard segment contents and are compared to those based on soft segments with number average molecular weights (Mn) greater than Me, they generally displayed higher tensile strengths and particularly lower hysteresis and creep than those having soft segment molecular weights below Me. These results imply that soft segment entanglements in thermoplastic polyurethaneureas may provide a critical contribution to the tensile properties of these copolymers – particularly in the range where the soft segment content is dominant.

    Fumed silica filled poly(dimethylsiloxane-urea) segmented copolymers: Preparation and properties
    (Elsevier, 2011) Yılgör, Emel; Yılgör, İskender; Eynur, Tuğba; Söz, Çağla; Malay, Özge; Menceloğlu, Yusuf Ziya; Wilkes, Garth L.
    Novel fumed silica filled thermoplastic poly(dimethylsiloxane-urea) (TPSU) segmented copolymers were synthesized and characterized. TPSU copolymers were prepared from a cycloaliphatic diisocyanate, aminopropyl terminated PDMS oligomers with number average molecular weights of 3,200, 10,800 and 31,500 g/mol and 2-methyl-1,5-diaminopentane chain extender. Two different types of fumed silica HDK H2000 (hydrophobic) and HDK N20 (hydrophilic) were utilized and incorporated into silicone-urea copolymers in amounts of 1–60% by weight. Influence of the silica type (hydrophilic versus hydrophobic), amount of silica loading and the PDMS soft segment molecular weight on the morphology, tensile properties and modulus-temperature behavior of the nanocomposites were determined. Major observations of this study were: (i) under the blending conditions used, incorporation of silica does not seem to interfere significantly with the hydrogen bonding between urea groups, (ii) incorporation of silica does not affect the glass transition temperature of PDMS, (iii) incorporation of silica influences the tensile and thermomechanical properties of silicone-urea segmented copolymers significantly, (iv) average molecular weight of the PDMS soft segment in the silicone-urea copolymer plays a critical role on the improvement of the tensile properties of the fumed silica/TPSU composites.
