The polyurethane of the present invention comprises a high molecular weight polyol, an organic polyisocyanate, and a low molecular weight polyol, and has a crosslinked structure. The bonds forming the crosslinked points in the polyurethane comprise urethane bonds formed by the reaction of aromatic hydroxyl groups and aliphatic isocyanato groups and/or urethane bonds formed by the reaction of aromatic hydroxyl groups and benzylic isocyanato groups, being 0.1 to 50% of the total urethane bonds. The polyurethane of the present invention is superior in elastic recovery, and the urethane bonds of the crosslinked points reversibly dissociate and bond beyond a certain temperature. Consequently, it is possible to manufacture, from this polyurethane, an elastic fiber which has a high heat setting rate above a certain temperature, and which has elastic recovery after a heat setting process which is as superior as the elastic recovery before the heat setting process.
本发明的聚氨酯由高分子量多元醇、有机多异氰酸酯和低分子量多元醇组成,具有交联结构。形成聚氨酯交联点的键包括芳香族羟基和脂肪族异氰酸酯基反应形成的聚氨酯键和/或芳香族羟基和苄基异氰酸酯基反应形成的聚氨酯键,占聚氨酯键总量的 0.1%至 50%。本发明的聚氨酯具有优异的弹性恢复能力,交联点的聚氨酯键在超过一定温度后会可逆地解离和粘合。因此,可以用这种聚氨酯制造一种弹性纤维,这种纤维在某一温度以上具有较高的热定型率,热定型后的弹性恢复能力与热定型前的弹性恢复能力一样出色。
