Polyurethanes (PUEs) are multi-blocked-copolymers synthesized with isocyanates, polyols and curing agents as glycols or diamines. PUEs can be freely designed due to the diversity of the chemical structure, blending and reaction of raw materials.
In the development of novel polyurethanes, it is important to control the higher order structure, that is, the micro-aggregation structure in addition to the primary structure (chemical structure) of polyurethanes. The structure control factors of polyurethane will be described here.
