Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Detailed investigation of the thermal behavior of divergent materials creates a possibility to improve their properties and achieve more effective ones. In the family of modern materials, polymers hold a prominent position. In recent years, they have become the backbone of contemporary industry. A variety of the implementation of polymeric materials creates a need for a thorough examination of their properties. A significant amount of diverse applications requires certain thermal behavior. Polymers are often expected to withstand extremely high or extremely low temperatures. A proper characterization of these advanced materials assumes their precise applicability in the rapidly developing area of the polymeric sector. Additionally, thermal behavior is of paramount importance in the process of recycling polymeric materials

The present Special Issue aims to discuss all aspects regarding multiple thermal characterizations of diverse materials. It provides a platform for scientists from various areas to present their research

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Reviews, mini-reviews, original articles, and short communications covering the most recent advances are welcome.

The work is a continuation of the research on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers containing sulfur atoms which are incorporated into the polyurethane chain using aliphatic-aromatic chain extenders. These materials show some improved properties in relation to conventional ones, e.g., adhesion to metals, bacterial resistance and refractive index. The present study deals with the detailed characteristics of the process of thermal decomposition of TPU elastomers obtained from 2,2′-[methylenebis(1,4-phenylenemethylenethio)]diethanol, 1,1′-methanediylbis(4-isocyanatobenzene) (MDI) or 1,6-diisocyanatohexane (HDI) and poly(oxytetramethylene) diol of Mn = 2000 g/mol by thermogravimetric analysis coupled on-line with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The analysis was performed under inert and oxidative conditions. All TPU elastomers were found to have a relatively good thermal stability, with those based on aromatic diisocyanate being at an advantage. In helium, they are stable up to 280–282 °C (from HDI) and 299–301 °C (from MDI), whereas in synthetic air up to 252–265 °C (from HDI) and 261–272 °C (from MDI), as measured by the temperature of 1% mass loss. Depending on the content of the hard segments and the tested atmosphere, the TPU elastomers decompose from one to four stages. From the analysis of the volatile decomposition products, it follows that the decomposition of both types of hard segments was accompanied by the evolution of carbonyl sulfide, carbon dioxide, water, sulfide dioxide, alcohols and aromatic compounds. For the hard segment derived from HDI, isocyanates, amines, and unsaturated compounds were also identified, while for the MDI-derived one, aldehydes were discovered. In turn, the polyether soft segment decomposed mainly into aliphatic ethers, aldehydes, and carbon monoxide. Full article

Title: The influence of diisocyanate structure on thermal stability of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers based on diphenylmethane-derivative chain extender
Author:
Highlights: Thermal stability of two series of sulfur-containing thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers based on an unconventional chain extender was studied. The materials obtained from an aromatic diisocyanate showed better stability than their analogs derived from an aliphatic one. The hard-segment decomposition was accompanied by the evolution of carbonyl sulfide, sulfide dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, aromatic compounds, aldehydes and water.
