  ABSTRACT: Polyurethane-imide elastomers (PUIEs) are formed from isocyanates, polyols, diamines, and acid anhydrides through liquid polymerization. However, thermoplastic PUIEs have rarely been reported because the synthesis of thermoplastic PUIEs remains a challenge in polymer chemistry. In this study, PUIEs were prepared from 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, polyols (polytetramethylene glycol (Mw = 1000), polycaprolactone diol (Mw = 1000), and polycarbonate diol (Mw = 1000)), 4,4'-oxydianiline, and acid anhydrides (pyromellitic dianhydride and 4,4'-oxydiphtaric anhydride). The thermoplasticities of the resultant PUIEs were investigated, and only PUIEs synthesized using 4,4'-oxydiphtaric anhydride expressed thermoplasticity.
