Evaluation of TG data of HTPB-based polyurethanes

Thermogravimetry (TG) was used to provide some new information on some polybutadiene-based polyurethanes. The results showed two main mass decomposition stages, from 230 to 564 deg C. The first mass loss stages were used to quantify the hard segments of the polymers. The results correlated well with...

Description
Summary:Thermogravimetry (TG) was used to provide some new information on some polybutadiene-based polyurethanes. The results showed two main mass decomposition stages, from 230 to 564 deg C. The first mass loss stages were used to quantify the hard segments of the polymers. The results correlated well with the ASTM methodology. In addition, two 2(3) factorial design studies were applied to evaluate the importance of some selected factors on the TG results of the polyurethanes.
