Abstract Two types of polyurethane networks were examined using the spin-label technique. Nitroxide free radicals which are stable under moderate conditions were covalently attached to the network chains of amorphous polymers based on (1) poly(tetramethylene glycol), p,p′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), trimethylolpropane, and (2) ethylene glycol, MDI, glycerine. Polymer (1) had very low “hard block” content, polymer (2) a very high content. Mechanical properties and differential thermal analysis measurements were made on polymer (1). Electron spin resonance spectra of the samples were obtained in the unstrained, strained, and swollen states. Large differences in the spectra were observed, depending on chemical composition, temperature, and state of swelling. Transitions from “frozen” to “rapid motion” type of spectra occurred at 70° for polymer (1), at −10° for polymer (1) swollen to equilibrium, and were unobserved up to 150° for polymer (2). Since the nitroxide label was necessarily adjacent to MDI units, was present in very small concentrations, and experienced no alterations in environment as “soft segments” did, then it is suggested that the spin-label technique is a valuable tool for analyzing microstructure of pseudoamorphous systems.

A series of castable polyurethane elastomers, based on polytetramethylene glycol as soft segments and toluene diisocyanate, 4, 4’-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, P-phenylene diisocyanate as diisocyanates respectively, were synthesized. The dynamic mechanical analysis method was utilized to determine tan delta property (tanδ). Also the influence of diisocyanates on the dynamic mechanical properties of castable polyurethane elastomers was analyzed. It can be concluded that the P-phenylene diisocyanate system elastomers have the most excellent dynamic mechanical properties.

Dynamic structures containing polymers can behave as thermosets at room temperature while maintaining good mechanical properties, showing good reprocessability, repairability, and recyclability. In this work, alkyl diselenide is effectively used as a dynamic cross-linker for the design of self-healing poly(urea–urethane) elastomers, which show quantitative healing efficiency at room temperature, without the need for any catalysts or external interventions. Due to the combined action of the urea bond and amide bond, the material has better mechanical properties. We also compared the self-healing effect of alkyl diselenide-based polyurethanes and alkyl disulfide-based polyurethanes. The alkyl diselenide has been incorporated into polyurethane networks using a para-substituted amine diphenyl alkyl diselenide. The resulting materials not only exhibit faster self-healing properties than the corresponding disulfide-based materials, but also show the ability to be processed at temperatures as low as 60 °C.

Nanoporous gold was fabricated by dealloying and their pore characteristics were further modified by thermal or acid treatment. The fabricated nanoporous gold had a ligament size of approximately 5 nm. Thermal treatment on the nanoporous gold increased the ligament size to approximately 500 nm. During the thermal treatment, ligaments are bonded across the cracks which had been generated during the dealloying. Acid treatment also increased the ligament size to approximately 500 nm; however, the acid treatment had a different effect on the pore characteristics from the thermal treatment. As a result, nanoporous gold prism microassembly with anisotropic structure was spontaneously fabricated by the acid treatment. The mechanical properties of nanoporous gold were also examined. It is estimated that the yield strength of nanosized ligaments in nanoporous gold is very high and close to the ideal strength of gold.
