Abstract It is concluded from the present study that the slightly modified Brabender PlastiCorder torque rheometer is well suited to the study of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer melt polymerization. The instrument is sensitive and responsive enough over a broad range to sense and record continuously even small changes in polymerizate temperature and viscosity as a function of time. This capability has enabled us to follow the full course of such polymerizations, with the exception of the final polymer maturation process which customarily is effected in the quiescent state. In our study, the effects of several polymerization variables were clearly and quantitatively apparent, including the effects on the course of polymerization and its degree of: macroglycol acidity; antioxidant (stabilizer); temperature; catalyst; polymer composition; presence of shortstop; and reactant balance. The results demonstrate the known acid catalysis of the hydroxyl-isocyanate reaction as well as polyurethane molecular wei...
