Linear polyurethane was synthesized by Diels-Alder (DA) reaction between a polyurethane prepolymer end-capped with furan rings (MPF) and bismaleimide (BMI). The polymerization kinetics were studied following a preliminary kinetic study of the DA reaction between furfuryl alcohol (FA) and BMI compounds by attenuated total reflection infrared, ultraviolet-visible and in situ H-1 NMR spectroscopies, where in situ H-1 NMR spectroscopy was selected as the analytical method of choice to study the DA reaction between MPF and BMI. The results showed that the reaction followed second-order kinetics, and the most beneficial experimental conditions to maximize conversion were identified.
