Predicting the properties of complex polymeric materials based on monomer chemistry
requires modeling physical interactions that bridge molecular, interchain, microstructure …

Polyurethanes are a broad class of material that finds application in coatings, foams, and
solid elastomers. The urethane chemistry allows a diversity of monomers to be used, and …

Bridging the gap between the computation of mechanical properties and the chemical
structure of elastomers is a long-standing challenge. To fill the gap, we create a raw dataset …

The glass transition temperature (T g) is a fundamental property of polymers that strongly
influences both mechanical and flow characteristics of the material. In many important …

Mechanistic understanding of the mechanical properties of elastomeric thermoplastic
polyurethane (TPU) rely on the hard segment content (HSC) as the sole predictor of …

Structural and morphological interplay between hard and soft phases determine the bulk
properties of thermoplastic polyurethanes. Commonly employed techniques rely on different …

Polyurethane elastomers (PUEs) are broadening applications attributed to their highly
tunable mechanical properties, and the stress–strain curve is one of the most important …

A number of experimental investigations reported in the open literature have indicated that
polyurea possesses a very complex nanometer-scale material microstructure consisting of …

Limited long-range ordering and the presence of both hard and soft segments can cause
substantial difficulties for structure determination in urethane elastomers. Here, the …

Two sets of segmented polyurethane (PU) elastomers were prepared from crystalline MDI,
butanediol and a polyester or a polyether polyol, respectively. The molar mass of both …
