Resumo

Polyurethanes (PU) have a wide variety of applications due to possessing tailored properties which can be imparted by composition. The combination of polyols in different ratios provide specific properties for the segmented PU, such as mechanical strength, elasticity, hydrophilicity and so on. In this work, amphiphilic and segmented polyurethanes, based on poly(e-caprolactone)diol (PCL-diol) and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)diol (PEtOx-diol) at variable mass fractions, were synthesized by a two-step route and characterized according to composition, molar mass, thermal, dynamic mechanical, and rheological properties. Polyurethanes with molar masses ranging from 17.9 to 39.6 kDa, and a molar mass dispersity in the range of 2.0-4.0, are capable of swelling in water, with the swelling coefficient being modulated by the polyurethane composition and by the temperature because of the lower critical solubility temperature (LCST) behavior of PEtOx in an aqueous medium. PCL and PEtOx segments in the PU chains are partially miscible, therefore the polyurethanes are heterogeneous, presenting a PCL/PEtOx miscible phase dispersed in a PCL rich matrix in the solid state. PU with 50% mass fraction of PEtOx presented a gelation temperature of 69 degrees C, as determined by rheology, and was evaluated for Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printing, showing promising features, although with a low resolution and fidelity to the computational project, mainly due to its high viscoelasticity which may be modulated by the molar mass of the polymer. Moreover, cell viability tests suggest that the polyurethanes are compatible with biomedical applications. (AU)
