Non-polar hydrophobic poly(isobutylene)glycol (PIBG) was substituted for poly(tetramethylene ether)glycol (PTMEG) in poly(ether urethanes) based on 4,4'-methylenebis-(phenylisocyanate) (MDI) and 1,4-butanediol (BD) as chain extender. Two series of polyurethanes differing in their soft segment length, polymer composition, and hard segment content were
