A systematic series of experiments is presented utilizing MDSC to resolve the overlapping melt peaks found when analyzing poly(ester urethane) block copolymer elastomer by MDSC. Testing method parameters are idealized through diagnostic methods, leading to method parameters individualized to the material, which allow to optimize the MDSC method for the poly(ester urethane) characterization despite potentially problematic sample geometry. This is the second in a series of three reports on the degradation processes and physical properties of the materials used in polymer bonded explosive 9501.
