Abstract
Thermoset polyurethane (PU) elastomers were prepared using hydroxyl‐terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI). The effects of various diamines and diols on the mechanical and thermal properties of polyurethanes are discussed. The average molecular weight between crosslinks (M̄/c) was determined by swelling studies. The properties imparted by the extenders are explained on the basis of the groups present in the diamines and the number of methylene carbons in the diols.Keywords
