The COPUAP
was prepared via the reaction of synthesized p-CDEA
with 12% MDI loading. The chain-extension reaction
was carried out in a beaker equipped with a magnetic stirrer and an
alcohol thermometer (Figure S1). The p-CDEA was heated below 60 °C under agitation while
gradually adding MDI.30 (link) After 30 min,32 (link),33 (link) the COPUAP was cooled down at ambient temperature, and its viscosity
was evaluated using a DV3T viscometer (AMETEK Brookfield, Middleborough,
MA) at 25 ± 0.5 °C. The attainment of the torque ranging
from 30 to 40% was indicative of the completion of the prepolymerization
process.23 (link)
