ConclusionsIt has been pointed out that there is a drastic change in orientation behavior in going from ET-24-1 to ET-28-1. Very little orientation is held in either segment in ET-24-1. In ET-28-1, ET-31-1 and ET-38-1, relatively high degrees of orientation are maintained, particularly in the hard segments. It is suggested that this is connected with the development of interlocking hard segment domains in ET-28-1 which do not exist in ET-24-1. In ET-24-1, the independent hard domains allow extensive relaxation of the orientation in both segments. In ET-28-1, relaxation of orientation is severely restricted by the interconnecting morphology of the hard segments. The flexible soft seg-ments can relax to a greater degree, but they too are re-strained by covalent bonding to the hard segments. The first change in orientation behavior with composition thus occurs at the point where the morphology changes from independent hard domains to an interlocked structure. Once the interlocked subcrystalline hard re-gions are formed, only minor changes in orientation be-havior due to the changing volumefraction of hard seg-ment occur. The basic mechanism for these materials is an increasing orientation of both segments into the stretch direction (positive orientation) at all elongations. A simi-lar conclusion based upon low-angle X-ray studies on comparable noncrystalline segmented polyurethanes was made by Wilkes. 15A fundamental change in orientation mechanism is observed when crystallinity (as determined by the existence of an intense high temperature DSC endotherm12 is intro-duced into the hard blocks. While the noncrystalline seg-ments present still orient as before, thecrystalline regions show a transverse (negative) orientation of the segments at low elongations. This may be visualized as an orientation into the stretch direction of the crystalline regions
