Abstract
Blends obtained from polyamide 6 and polyester or polyether polyurethanes were investigated by means of DMTA. The blends were prepared by compounding in a twin-screw Brabender —Plasticorder. Changes in composition did not influence the glass temperature of the amorphous fraction of the polyamide, but also no distinct transition for separated polyurethane soft segment was visible. Therefore the blends seem to be multiphase systems, where the elastomeric polyurethane phase is dispersed in a continuous polyamide phase. From changes in the β relaxation region of the polyamide better miscibility of polyester polyurethanes comparing to polyether polyurethanes was explained by hydrogen bonding in the common amorphous phase.
