The rubber elasticity characteristics of polyurethane network based on hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene(HTPB)-isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI) were investigated. Both sol-gel analyses and solvent swollen compression modulus data were used to evaluate the crosslink density through the variation of NCO/OH equivalent ratio. The density of elastically effective network chains calculated with swollen compression modulus data at 25℃ were 16.788×10
