Partial crystalline polysiloxane-based polyurethane copolymers were prepared by using
hydroxyethoxypropyl capped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as soft segment and α, ω-(bis …

A series of novel waterborne polyurethanes (WBPUs) was synthesized using α, ω-
dihydroxypropyl poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), 2, 2-bis …

Amphiphilic polyurethane elastomers (APUE) were synthesized using a two-step
polyaddition reaction based on the hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and …

There is an increasing demand for small-diameter blood vessels. Currently, there is no
clinically available small-diameter artificial vessel. Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) has vast …

Segmented polyurethanes (PURs) were prepared from α, ω-dihydroxypoly (propylene
oxide)-b-poly (dimethylsiloxane)-b-poly (propylene oxide)(PPO–PDMS) as the soft segment …

Novel poly (dimethylsiloxane)-based polyurethane nanocomposites (TPU-NCs) were
synthesized using in situ polymerization with the nanoclay Cloisite 30B. Differential …

The aim of this work was to examine the influence of polycaprolactone (PCL) as a soft
segment (SS) on the surface properties of polyurethane networks (PUNs). Five PUNs with …

Polyurethanes are versatile elastomers but suffer from biological limitations such as poor
control over cell attachment and the associated disadvantages of increased fibrosis. We …

Understanding the physicochemical interactions between endothelial cells and biomaterials
is vital for regenerative medicine applications. Particularly, physical interactions between the …

Segmented thermoplastic polyurethane copolymers (PURs) were synthesized using 4, 4'-
methylenediphenyl diisocyanate and 1, 4-butanediol as the hard segment and alpha …
