Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a non-destructive technique that can reveal the phase structure and dynamics of polymers at the molecular level. It is sensitive to polymer chain mobility and requires minimal special sample preparation. We investigated the phase structure and molecular dynamics of polyurethane rubber (PUR) based on the T1-T2* relaxation correlation spectra, and analyzed the T1-T2* data by multi modal decay. The T1-T2* spectra showed three types of signals: rigid 1H with the shortest T2* value, interphase 1H with an intermediate T2* value, and mobile-amorphous 1H with the longest T2* value. The three 1H components exhibit the similar T1 values in PUR, which decreased with increasing hardness or decreasing temperature. The integrals of these signals depend on the durometer hardness and temperature for PUR. They increase for the rigid phase but reduce for mobile-amorphous phase and interphase with an increase of PUR durometer hardness. The rigid 1H component decreased and the mobile-amorphous 1H component increased with increasing temperature, while the interphase 1H component remained constant. In addition, the hard/soft ratio decreased with increasing temperature for PUR systems. These results indicated that T1-T2* spectra can be used to characterize phase structure and dynamics of PUR.
