Abstract

The relationship between the reactions kinetics and morphology development during the polyurethaneurea (PUU) curing process has been investigated simultaneously by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The data of the FTIR spectra showed that with the increase of conversion, the absorbance of NH bands increases and its band sites shifts to lower wavenumbers; the absorbance of free urethane carbonyl kept nearly constant at low conversion, and then decreased much because of the interaction of the formed urea links, and then changed little at high conversion owing to the diffuse control. The band sites of hydrogen bonded urea carbonyl similarly shifted to lower wavenumbers and the absorbance of the hydrogen bonded urea carbonyl, associated with the phase separation of hard segments, became stronger with buildup of hydrogen bond between urea links. The carbonyl bands available during curing process were further assigned. Both interactions, such as hydrogenised effect and phase separation, played a major role in the matrix formation of the PUU polymer.
