The main objective of this thesis was to establish the role played by the composition and crosslinking structure of an elastomer on its resistance to cavitation under a predominantly hydrostatic pressure. We prepared three polyurethane model networks from triisocyanate and monodisperse polyether diols (PPGs) of various molecular weights, under well controlled conditions and carried out a complete characterization of the reagents and of the networks by using NMR, FTIR, analysis of the solfractions and DMA. We evaluated the nonlinear elastic and linear viscoelastic properties of the three model networks and determined their fracture toughness in mode I with notched samples. We performed cavitation experiments at different strain rates and tem...
