Abstract
A polyester urethane fuel cell having at least one layer of a reaction product of an organic polyisocyanate and a mixed polyester and a curative. In the preferred embodiment the fuel cell has a barrier layer composed of a polyester urethane formed from reacting bis(4-cyclohexyl isocyanate) with 10 to 90 mol percent of polyhexamethylene ortho phthalate and 90 to 10 mol percent of a polycaprolactane and curative. The mixed polyesters are either a blend or co-condensation product of a monomeric polyol of less than 5 carbon atoms with an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid.
Claims9
A polyurethane comprising the reaction product of an aliphatic or alicyclic polyisocyanate with a mixed polyester selected from the class consisting of (1) a copolyester having the structure obtained by condensation of a polyol of less than 900 molecular weight with an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and (2) a blend of an aliphatic polyester and an aromatic polyester and cured with a curative containing at least two groups selected from the class of amine and hydroxyl.
A polyester urethane fuel cell having at least one layer of an elastomer composed of reaction product of an aliphatic or an alicyclic polyisocyanate with mixed polyesters having structures obtained by condensation of a monomeric polyol of less 400 molecular weight with a blend of 10 to 90 mol percent of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and 90 to 10 mol percent of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid of 6 to 9 carbon atoms to give at least 3 mol percent free NCO and then curing with a curative containing hydroxyl or amino groups.
