Abstract

The resistivity of the synthesized polyurethanes with high glass transition temperatures was measured at different feed concentrations of monomers namely, 4-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amino]-4'-nitroazobenzene and N-phenyldiethanolamine to establish the correlation between resistivity and monomeric units. The results suggested that resistivity increases with the increase in feed concentration of 4-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amino]-4'-nitroazobenzene. The measurements were also performed on polyurethane samples at different thickness, indicating the decrease of resistivity with film thickness. The effect of temperature on resistivity has also been observed below their glass transition temperature, determined by differential scanning calorimetery.
