Abstract

AbstractDynamic mechanical properties of a polyurethane (PU) elastomer and a mortar processed with the same elastomer (modified polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG)) were studied. The results obtained showed that the liquid aromatic amine ETHACURE® 300, used as cure agent, can be used to substitute the aromatic amine MOCA®, which is usually used as cure agent in high performance elastomers. The resulting mortar produced with ETHACURE® 300 presents similar dynamic‐mechanical thermal properties when compared with MOCA ®. However, dynamic‐mechanical thermal analysis studies showed that the mortar developed with ETHACURE® 300 presents some advantages such as the low values of tan δ, indicating a good capacity of recovery of the strain after retreating an applied force. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
