It was found that PDPAD-based PUD gave much higher hydrolytic stability in spite of great water swell than the PTAD-based PUD which showed higher hardness, modulus, and tensile strength. Tailor-made properties were possibly obtained by combining the two types of polyol.en620660671541journal article
