Abstract: The thermoplastic polyurethane material has the general formula I ##STR1## (1<f<500; 1<f'<15; R and R'=alkyl or aryl) and X has formula II ##STR2## (2<n<140; 1<(n'+n")<51). The process for the preparation thereof comprises reacting a polyether-polycaprolactone block copolymer having a molecular weight ranging from 1000 to 6000 of formula IIa ##STR3## with a chain extender of formula HO--R'--OH and a diisocyanate of formula OCN--R--NCO.
