Functionalization of hydroxyl groups in segmented polyhydroxyurethane eliminates nanophase separation

Abstract

Nonisocyanate, segmented, nanophase-separated polyhydroxyurethane (PHU) was synthesized via cyclic carbonate aminolysis. The hydroxyl groups were functionalized with small molecules, and the properties of PHUs before and after functionalization were characterized. Functionalization of hydroxyl groups eliminates nanophase separation. Additional Supporting Information may be found in the online version of this article.
