The effect of dangling chains on phase-separated microstructure and molecular dynamics for polyurethanes (PUs) was investigated. PUs with different dangling chain lengths and polar groups were prepared through changing the types of diol extender. The molecular dynamics was studied by a combination of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and broadband dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (BDRS). Four relaxations (processes), namely, a secondary relaxation (β), the soft phase segmental relaxation (α), the I process associated with hydrogen bond, and Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars (MWS) interfacial polarization process caused by charge accumulation at hard/soft phase interfaces, were detected. The I process occurred in temperatures lower than that of MWS process but higher than α relaxation in general. The β relaxation remains unaffected with changing dangling chain lengths or polar groups. However, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the soft phase shifts to lower temperature, and the segmental motion becomes faste...
