摘要
Polyurethane elastomers derived from 4,4 ' -methylene bis(phenyl isocyanate), butylene glycol and the low oxyethylene moiety content copolyether of tetrahydrofuran and ethylene oxide, obtained by copolymerization using heteropolyacid-ethylene oxide initiator system, were prepared. The polyurethanes exhibited an increased water absorption and much better low temperature resilience, which remained high even at a temperature of -3 degreesC, while that of polyurethane based upon poly(tetramethylene ether) glycol of the 'same molecular weight, i.e. being 2000, and molecular weight distribution, i.e, in the range of 1.4-1.5, starts to decrease dramatically at 5 degreesC.
