Polyurethane composite foams were prepared by adding three different types of silica materials as a filler to improve the mechanical and thermal insulation properties. The first type consists aerogels with high-volume pores, expectation improving PU because aerogel itself has superior Silica nanoparticle is used for second that size very similar pore comparison. last produce polyurethane foam u...

Nanocomposite pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) composed of polyurethane (PU)/(meth)acrylates reinforced with MoS2 nanoplatelets were prepared by blending aqueous dispersions. MoS2 crystals were exfoliated by sonication in water in the presence of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP, molecular weight of 10,000 g mol(-1)) to prepare an aqueous dispersion. Waterborne colloidal polymer particles (latex)...

Grout is a binding agent or binder often used with building materials to improve their durability functions. It may be organic or inorganic material used for sealing or consolidation of cracks, pores, or voids in order to improve the mechanical properties and impermeability of a particular system, whether soil, cementitious or of other building materials. Grouts act as dispersion agents where d...

BACKGROUND Polyurethane foam-covered silicone gel-filled breast implants, introduced in the 1970s, were used in more than 110,000 American women. Because of concerns about possible toxicity, they were withdrawn from the US market in 1991. These implants remain popular in many parts of the world. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to evaluate long-term experience with polyurethane foam-cover...

The renewable PUF was prepared by the alcoholysis of the used polyurethane foam composite and the polyurethane foam composite was also prepared by alkali lignin and renewable PUF. The renewable PUF was examined by GC-MS, the results showed the renewable PUF mainly consists of glycol, propanol and 1, 2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, which can directly be used as the raw material of polyurethane foam ...

BACKGROUND Decreasing the maximum force applied during traction to the base of the fetal skull using a less rigid polyurethane forceps is the basis of this study. Our hypothesis was that less force would be generated with polyurethane forceps than with steel forceps. OBJECTIVE To test a new soft polyurethane obstetrical forceps for maximal force generated to the base of the skull during simul...

A survey is given on the various options to seal water ingress from strata and from concrete structures by injecting different types of resins showing the scope and limits of the individual grouts. The report covers methacrylates and polyurethane hydrogels, one and two component polyurethane resins as well as silicate isocyanate resins. The use of fast reacting two component polyurethane resins...

      In order to prepare polyurethane elastomers with acceptable physical properties and good biocompatibility, novel polyurethane networks were synthesized via curing reaction of epoxy-terminated polyurethane prepolymers (EUPs) with hexamethylene diamine. EUPs were prepared from reaction of glycidol with NCO-terminated polyurethanes (ITPs). ITPs were also synthesized from reaction of one equi...

Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) dispersions were prepared for flame retardant coatings. Specifically, alkoxysilane-capped polycaprolactone-based WPUs synthesized employing the acetone process, and Casein, as a green sustainable additive, was added by two different methods (in situ ex situ). These strategies made possible to evaluate effect of Polyurethane/Casein interaction in final properties fi...
