Mechanical Properties. Addition of plasticizer lowers hardness and strength and increases elongation and creep. It increases adhesion and friction.

The polyurethane-based elastomers are characterised by exceptional mechanical properties additionally, they have a good resistance to oxygen, ozone, and dried air, up to a temperature of 70 °C. Their utilisation is limited especially by the poor resistance to the photooxidative degradation, hydrolysis, and micro-organisms action [888-902],... 

Hence it is possible first to identify the class of polymer and then to establish its basic mechanical properties. Additional requirements can be specified by referring to tables in the specification which concern test methods, fluid types, temperatures, etc. 

Although Y is one of the most often discussed reactive elements, its applicability to intermetaiiics is limited because of its low solubility. This tends to lead to the formation of Y-rich precipitates that can result in non-ideal behavior (e.g. Kuenzly and Douglass, 1974). Additions of Hf or Zr seem to be preferable. Adding too much RE can, however, be a problem when over-doping can lead to oxidation behavior worse than that of the undoped material (Doychak, 1994 Pint et al., 1996 Pint, 1998), e.g. when REs are added to improve mechanical properties. Addition of 0.2 at.% Hf to NiAl (Darolia and Walston, 1997) can result in initial improvements in oxidation behavior but could result in significant oxidation problems in long-term high-temperature oxidation because of internal oxidation of the Hf.

Apart from satisfactory mechanical properties, additional features are often required in product applications. One important requirement for construction applications is flame retardancy. Biocomposites are, however, flammable because they are composed of organic materials. To improve flame retardancy, addition of inorganic materials would be needed. Various flame retardants composing of halogens (Q, Br), heavy and transition metals (Zn, V, Pb, Sb), or phosphorus organic compounds may reduce the risk of combustion [39]. 

The process continues to be a challenging subject for academics, and every year at the Annual Technical Conference (ANTEC) of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) in the United States, the inj ection molding sessions are numerous and well-attended. As mentioned in Kennedy s thesis [20], the subject of geometry (Figure 4.53), material properties, mechanical properties, additives, and so on need further work in order to predict the ultimate morphology and end-use properties of the molded product. 

The 15N is a unique series of TPU grades based on polyether-polycapro-lactone copolymers offering excellent hydrolysis resistance in combination with good heat resistance and mechanical properties. Additionally, the 15N Series excels for its outstanding low temperature performance and elastic properties.
