This review addresses trends in the development of high performance polyurethane (PU)
and its subclass coatings. Changes in the understanding the technical requirements and …

The present paper is aimed to review the state of the art on the novel and emerging
techniques recently developed in the textile field for conferring flame retardant properties to …

The goal of this work has been the synthesis of novel materials based on a biodegradable
polycaprolactone-block–polytetrahydrofurane-block–polycaprolactone diol (PCL-b–PTHF-b …

A modified clay was used to prepare waterborne polyurethane (WPU)/clay nanocomposite
dispersions in this study. XRD and TEM examinations indicate that the clay platelets are …

Polyurethane organoclay nanocomposites have been synthesized via in situ polymerization
method. The organoclay has been prepared by intercalation of diethanolamine or …

Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs)/clay nanocomposites were prepared via melt
processing using the ester type and the ether type TPUs and three differently modified …

The stress relaxation and creep behavior of blank polyurethane (PU) and PU/clay
nanocomposites were investigated. The relaxation time spectrum and retardant time …

This paper reviews the recent research and development of polymeric nanocomposite
coatings based on layered silicates. In the past few decades, extensive research activities …

This review describes the present state of science and technology of photopolymerizable
(UV-curable) polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites which include nanosilica and organically …

Boehmite aluminas that become nanosize-dispersed in water were mixed with polyurethane
