Abstract

We report the first synthesis and characterization of a novel thermostable polyether-based elastomeric polytriazole (EPTA) via click reaction. The EPTA's structure was confirmed by proton NMR characterization. The low glass transition temperatures (Tg < 0°C) of EPTAs ensure the product in elastomeric state at room temperature. The high 5% weight loss thermal decomposition temperatures (> 300°C) compared to other elastomeric polymers are the prominent property of the EPTAs. The influence of molecular weight of azide-terminated monomers and structures of dipropargyl ether monomers on the Tg and Td5 of EPTAs were studied.
