Abstract: Aseries of amine terminated polypropylene oxide based on thermoplastics polyureas with 30%,50% ,and 70% hard segment contents were synthesized via solution polymerization and reaction injection moulding (RIM). Amine terminated polypropylene oxide was used as the soft segment and 4,4'-diphenylmethanediisocyanate (MDI) extended with diethyltoluenediamine (DETDA) was used as the hard segment. These polyureas were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical spectroscopoy (DMS). RIMpolyureaas have poorer phase separation than solution polyurea as seen by DSC,DMS, especially at high hard segment levels. Any evidence of a hard segment glass transition in polyureas has not been found by DSCand DMS.
