Low molecular weight polyester-amide prepolymers have been synthesized by melt polycondensation from succinic acid, 1, 4-butanediol, 1, 3-propanediol and urea, and the chain extension of polyester-amide prepolymers was conducted with toluene diisocynate. A series of novel biodegradable succinic acid-1,4-butanediol-1,3-propanediol-urea copolymers with Mw from 100000 to 170000 were synthesized, and then the polyester-amide films were prepared by tape casting. The effect of urea amount on the thermal properties, crystallinity, mechanical properties and biodegradation of the polyester-amide were studied. The polyester-amide were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, GPC, TG, DSC and XRD. The results showed that the melting point and thermal stability of polyester-amide decreased with the increase of urea content. The addition of urea unchanged the crystal form of polyester phase in polyester-amide, but destroyed the regularity of the polyester chain segment, which led to the decreased crystallinity. With the increase of urea content, the mechanical properties and biodegradation of polyester-amide films were improved.
