A series of polyurethane (PU)-urea-imide coatings were synthesized by a systematic three-
step reaction process. Initially isocyanate terminated PU prepolymers were prepared by …

The plant cuticle consists of cutin, a polyester of glycerol, hydroxyl, and epoxy fatty acids,
covered and filled by waxes. While the biosynthesis of cutin building blocks is well …

In the following work, different shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs) were synthesized
using polycaprolactone (PCL) with various molecular weights, hexamethylene diisocyanate …

A water blown rigid polyurethane (PU) formulation has been used to manufacture cellular
nanocomposites containing different concentrations of montmorillonite nanoclays. The PU …

Thermoset polyurethane elastomers made from poly (3, 3-bis (azidomethyl) oxetane with
tetrahydrofuran) and various multifunctional isocyanate cross-linkers were compared to …

A series of linear non-isocyanate polyhydroxyurethanes (NIPUs) were synthesized by
aminolysis of a PPO bis-cyclic carbonate with two diamines, one of which …

In this study, cellulose acetate and castor oil have been used to synthesize new eco-friendly
alternatives to traditional polyurethane adhesives. First, cellulose acetate (CA) was modified …

Aramid nanofibers (ANFs), typically produced by exfoliating aramid microfibers (Kevlar) in
alkaline media, exhibit excellent mechanical properties and have therefore attracted …

At the present study, two types of graphene oxide nanosheets, including reduced graphene
oxide (RGO) and reduced functionalized graphene oxide (R (GO-PCL)), were synthesized to …

The use of functional nanofillers to improve the properties of rigid polyurethane (PU) foams
has caused the need for a better understanding of how these nanofillers modify the reaction …
