摘要: Polyurethane elastomers, prepared from: (i) polyether macrodiols that contain a reduced number of ether linkages compared with PTMO [poly(tetramethylene oxide)], (ii) the diisocyanate MDI [4,4’-diphenylmethanediisocyanate], and (iii) chain extender BDO [1,4-butanediol] offer enhanced stability towards oxidation hydrolysis over their PTMO-based counterparts. Polyurethane-ureas from TMXDI (m-tetramethylxylene diisocyanate), however, show decreased stability. In vivo subcutaneous implant experiments (sheep; 90 days 180 days), new MDI-based ether-reduced polyurethanes do not undergo stress cracking while materials do. The performed poorly when implanted.
