Waterborne isocyanate-free grafted poly(hydroxy urethane)-poly(butyl methacrylate) hybrid dispersions were synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization. Grafting was induced including methacrylate functionalities in the urethane) and controlled degree of functionalization. It is shown that grafting enabled a fine tuning mechanical properties PHU containing hybrids.

ConspectusIn biological systems, the storage and transfer of genetic information rely on sequence-controlled nucleic acids such as DNA RNA. It has been realized for quite some time that this property is not only crucial life but could also be very useful in human applications. For instance, actively investigated a digital medium over past decade. Indeed, “hard-disk life” an obvious choice highl...
