High Performance Composites Based on Polyurethanes Reinforced with Polydiacetylenes

Abstract

This final report covers all the work carried out during the period from December 1986 to December 1987. The scientific programme was concerned with the development of high-performance composites based on various linear and crosslinked polyurethane matrices reinforced with high-strength and high- stiffness polydiacetylenes, incorporated either as single crystal fibres or as dispersed hard segment domains. The report is therefore fibres or as dispersed hard segment domains. The report is therefore presented in two parts (I) and (II) entitled. (I) Formation and Properties of Fibre-Reinforced Composites: polyurethane Resins containing Polydiacetylene Single Crystal Fibres. (II) formation and Properties of Molecular Composites: Polyurethane-Diacetylene Segmented Copolymers.
