Copolyether-urethane-ureas based on methylene bis(4-phenylisocyanate), polypropylene glycol (or polytetramethylene glycol), and ethylene diamine showed improvement in packing order within the already present phases when subject to both thermal annealing and slow solvent evaporation techniques using glass as the casting substrate. However, formation of these copolymer films directly onto IR salt crystals led to major disturbances in the copolymer morphology due to the dissolving of inorganic salt into the polymer casting solution. These disturbances appear to be caused by a salt-urea segment interaction. The urea amide I band (1635 cm(-1)) appears to be a sensitive indicator of such changes in these copolymers.
