Abstract:New sodium deoxycholate based poly(ester ether)urethane ionomers were prepared for the development of biomedical materials. A structure–property relationship in the tested biomaterials was established by cross‐examination of the dynamic mechanical and dielectric properties, attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared investigation, thermogravimetric analysis, and surface morphology characterization. A stronger ionic interaction and solvation capacity of the ions and a higher ionic conductivity were … Show more
“…For P2, P3 polyurethanes the secondary relaxation peaks are much broader than for P1, P4 polyurethanes being interpreted by a distribution of relaxation times. This result can be explained with the more homogeneous polyurethane networks of P1, P4 in comparison with those of P2, P3 as demonstrated by our previous DMTA results [15].…”

“…The molecular dynamics in connection with glass transition or a process are cooperative segmental dynamics. The secondary b relaxation can be assigned to the local motions of polar urethane groups whereas the secondary b 0 relaxation can be assigned to the movements of cyclohexyl ring and the secondary c relaxation is assigned to the movements of the methylene sequences in soft segments of the polyurethane ionomers [15,20,21].…”

“…Rigid polyurethanes evidence larger R g values than semi rigid polyurethanes [28]. The highest R g value is shown by polyurethane P3 due to its more crystalline PEO segment and highest molecular weight which can be correlated with its highest value of storage modulus, E 0 [15]. A Guinier-Porod empirical model was used by employing Igor Pro software [29].…”

“…Sodium deoxycholate as low molar mass chain extender is used to prepare the herein presented polyurethane ionomers [15,16]. Conductivity, molecular dynamics, chain packing, conformation, supramolecular organization and the resulted surface morphological microstructures are determined by molecular and ionic interactions of the bile salt moiety with different polyether co-soft segments in these biocidal polyurethane ionomers.…”
Broad-band dielectric spectroscopy technique was used to investigate the molecular dynamics of new sodium deoxycholate-based poly(ester ether)urethane ionomers of particular interest in biomedical devices. These polyurethane ionomers have identical hard segment containing bile salt moiety but with different soft segment chemistries. Poly(ethylene oxide)-rich soft segment promotes stronger ionic interactions and solvation capacity of ions and higher ionic conductivity in these polyurethane ionomers. The universal power law was employed to study the evolution of alternating conductivity (AC) with frequency and temperature. The calculated values of fractional exponent ranged between 0 and 1 which indicate AC conduction through hopping mechanism. Direct current conductivity evidences Arrhenius behaviour in the function of temperature and the estimated values of activation energy for poly(ethylene oxide)-rich soft segment polyurethane ionomers are found higher. The increase in the conductivity with temperature can be interpreted as a hopping mechanism assisted by chain relaxation. AFM and SAXS investigations evidence lamellar arrangement at the sub-micron scale and the nanophase-separated morphology for these polyurethane ionomers. The tensile tests evidenced that the polyurethane with highest molecular weight exhibits the highest values of mechanical properties and ductile behaviour.

On the basis of the reports from 2010 to 2018, the chemical structure, production methods and applications of polyurethane ionomers were reviewed. The paper presents ionogenic reagents and counterions responsible for the incorporation of anionic and cationic groups into polyurethane chains and the resulting physicochemical properties of these polymers. The most important applications of synthesized ionomers as a waterborne polyurethane, elastomer materials, biomaterials and materials for special applications (electronics, nanocomposites) were presented.
