Abstract: The structure and physical mechanical properties of individual and plasticized polyurethane block- copolymers with alternating flexible and rigid blocks have been investigated. A different degree of association between “rigid” blocks with a function of physical cross-linkages has been identified. The influence of the nature and plasticizer content on intermolecular interactions degree and the deformation - strength characteristics of the studied systems has been demonstrated. Constants “C1” and “C2” of Muni-Rivlin equation have been calculated. The effective density of the physical network increased at low concentrations of plasticizer. However, it decreased monotonically upon a further increase of the degree of the plasticization. If plasticizer concentration was more than the thermodynamic compatibility with the copolymer we observed a considerable loss of the elastic and strength properties the binary system. A selectivity effect of the plasticizers has been shown.
