The invention relates to graft polyols with a bimodal particle size distribution and a total solid content of between 5 and 65 wt. %. Said polyols contain small particles with a particle diameter of between 0.05 and 0.7 &#x3bc;m and large particles with a particle diameter of between 0.4 and 5.0 &#x3bc;m, whereby the peaks of the large and small particles measured during a representation according to the light-scattering analysis method do not overlap. The total solid content with the defined particle sizes consists of a volumetric fraction of between 5 and 45% small particles and a volumetric fraction of between 95 and 55% large particles, said volumetric fractions totalling 100%. The invention also relates to a method for producing graft polyols of this type and to the use thereof for producing polyurethanes.

Production of sound-absorbing polyurethane foams having an adhesive surface

A homogeneous, demixing-stable polyol component comprising at least two relatively high molecular weight compounds containing at least two reactive hydrogen atoms and, if desired, low molecular weight chain extenders and/or crosslinkers and also, if desired, blowing agents, catalysts and further auxiliaries and/or additives is prepared by adding at least one amine and at least one organic and/or modified organic isocyanate to this component. This polyol component is useful for producing polyurethanes, in particular compact and foamed polyurethanes.

Preparation of a homogeneous, demixing-stable polyol component

The synthesis and characterization of a series of novel (AB).sub.n multiblock copolymers, typically thermoplastic elastomers, containing polyisobutylene as the soft phase and polyamides as the hard phase are described. First, carboxyl ditelechelic polyisobutylene prepolymers and isocyanate ditelechelic polyisobutylene prepolymers were synthesized, both of which were subsequently reacted under solution polycondensation conditions with dicarboxylic acids and diisocyanates. The melting points of the polyamide hard phases were in the 223.degree.-284.degree. C. range. The decomposition temperatures (296.degree.-337.degree. C.) in air and nitrogen of these thermoplastic elastomers were quite similar; in contrast, these properties of polytetrahydrofuran-based thermoplastic elastomers are noticeably lower in air. Melt processing of these novel polyisobutylene-based thermoplastic elastomers is possible.
