| The group incorporates into its system a variety of chemically responsive dyes that can react with a full spectrum of intermolecular interactions. However, when blocked isocyanates are employed, the resulting urethane or urea networks exhibit very strong intermolecular interactions and are, therefore, not the best choice for highly elastic networks. The 3D alignment of neighboring chains usually has a much smaller effect due to the relative weakness of intermolecular interactions, although strong interactions (such as intermolecular H-bonding in polyamides) can have a large effect on band positions and intensities. |
