Abstract
A series of shape memory polyurethane copolymers synthesized from 1,4-phenyldiisocyanate (PDI) and poly(tetramethyleneglycol) (PTMG) plus 1,4-butanediol as chain extender were compared with similar ones from 4,4′-methylene-bis-phenyldiisocyanate (MDI) and PTMG in various shape memory tests at temperature ranges of ±20 °C around glass transition temperature ( T g). Similarity and some differences between two series were found in other characterization methods such as IR spectra, phase transition, and mechanical properties. Especially, T g increased with the content of hard segment (PDI or MDI) and both copolymers generally showed similar T g at the same content of hard segment. In addition, vibration and shock absorption ability was investigated by measuring both loss tan δ and storage modulus with dynamic mechanical analyzer.
