Polyurethane (PU) with mixed poly(ethylene glycol) / poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG/PCL) soft segments is a representatively kind of degradable polyurethane material. Polyurethane foams (PUF) with mixed PEG/PCL soft segments were synthesized by using one pot method, and their mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties were investigated. Influences of PEG/PCL weight ratio and molecular weight of soft segments on PUF's mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties were studied. The results showed that: with increasing content of PCL, PUF's tensile strength, elongation at break, stress at certain tensile/compressive strain and storage modulus increased gradually; with increasing molecular weight of soft segment, PUF's elongation at break increased, but tensile strength, stress at certain tensile/compressive strain and storage modulus all decreased accordingly; glass transition temperature (Tg) of PUF with various soft segments decreased according to the following sequence: PEG-400, PCL-210N, PEG-1000 and PTMG1000; loss factor of PUF with PEG/PCL mixed soft segments was higher than that of PUF with individual PEG or PCL soft segments.

Abstract In the high-elastic temperature range the molecular weight has a considerable effect on the dynamic mechanical properties of linear (uncrosslinked) SKD cis-1, 4-butadiene rubber. In this temperature range an unequivocal correlation exists between the rebound resilience at a given temperature and the viscosity average molecular weight, and the determination of the resilience can therefore be recommended as a rapid method of finding the molecular weight of SKD. A similarity is found in the dynamic mechanical behavior of rubbers of different molecular weights in the high-elastic temperature range. In the low-temperature range an increase in the molecular weight of crystalline polymers of SKD is accompanied by an impairment of their elastic properties.
