Abstract: Five kinds of polyurethanes resins (PU) were prepared with polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate(PMDI) and polyether polyol and using small molecule ternary alcohols with different structures as crosslinker. The effects of crosslinker structure on heat release, rheological properties, thermal properties and mechanical properties of polyurethane were studied. The results showed that the secondary hydroxyl group and benzene ring in the molecular structure of the crosslinker prolonged the gelation time of the polyurethane resin, and slightly increased the heat resistance and Tg. The activity of polyurethane synthesized by crosslinking agent containing long unsaturated carbon chain is decreased,and the applicable period is greatly increased,but the hard segment regularity is poor,and the Tg and mechanical properties are decreased. When DIPA-PGE was used as crosslinker, the maximum Tg was 73.8 ℃. MIPA-PGE had the best comprehensive mechanical properties, and the tensile strength reached 51.6 MPa.
