The permeability of these films to O_2, N_2 and H_2 and their density were measured by using gas chromatography and technique of density gradient column. The polyether polyurethanes were found to have higher permeability than the polyester ones due to their low glass transition temperature and /or the low density value. The blends of PVC and polyether polyurethanes, especially the PPO-based polyurethane, are incompatible, and their permeability coefficient-composition dependence has the typical S-shaped curves. PVC is well compatible with the soft segments in its blends with polyester polyurethanes. For these blends the composition dependence of permeability is characterized by a negative deviation from the semilogarithmic additivity rule, and it is possible to prepare blends having T_g 20℃ lower than that of PVC, but retaining its low permeability almost unchanged, results were discussed in according with the different approaches for the permeation behavior of compatible and incompatible blends.展开更多

The analysis indicates that the blend morphology was mainly determined by soft segment structure of polyurethanes. The PPO-PU/PVC blends show typical two-phase morphology and their modulus-composition relations may be described by Halpin-Tsai model for domain-matrix two-phase systems.While the PCL-PU / PVC, PTMA-PU/PVC and PTMO-PU/PVC blends fit the Kerner's packed grain composite model. These results may imply that the modulus-composition relationship is sensitive to the interactions between the components and the mixture morphology of the blends.展开更多

The results show that the RuO_4 staining technique is simpler and may give better image contrast than other staining methods for this polymer. Microphase separation and lamellar structure of segmented polyether-and polyester-polyurethanes were directly observed and discussed.展开更多
