RESUMO

This work aims the structural, mechanical and optical characterization of urethane/urea elastomers (PU/PBDO), based on polypropylene oxide and polybutadiene diol, pure, after swelling in toluene and doped with ferrofluid. The ratios in weight % of PU and PBDO used are 40/60, 50/50, 60/40 and 80/20. The structural analysis were made through of polarized light microscopy, atomic and magnetic force microscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy techniques in such was verified that films are isotropics and autofluorescents. The sample after swelling with toluene does not present difference in its texture compared with pure sample. Doped samples present brown color due the magnetic grains. It was also verified that doping process by swelling of film in solution of ferrofluid with toluene is efficient because the film not shows large aggregates of magnetic grains. Measurements of optical absorption coefficient show that the swelling time of the samples in toluene does not modify significantly these films. We verified that the immersion time of the film in the solution of ferrofluid with toluene, to incorporate in the greatest quantity of magnetic grains in samples, increases with the PU concentration. The number of magnetic grains in the elastomeric matrix does not increase after the samples reach the saturation level. Mechanical and optical experiments show that the elastomer preparation procedure (casting) introduces a structural anisotropy in the optically isotropic sample. This result was evidenced by the measurements of the Youngs module and orientation of the samples optic axis under stretching. The dependence of phase shift, and, consequently the optical birefringence, with strain in pure, after swelling in toluene and doped with ferrofluid samples, is linear. The strain-optic coefficient is linear with the concentration of ferrofluid. For all the swelling time in toluene and ferrofluid the 50/50 and 60/40 samples were those that present the greatest induced birefringence under stretching.
