Molecular Design of Sugar-Based Polyurethanes

Sugar-based molecular computing by material implication.

A method to integrate an (in principle) unlimited number of molecular logic gates to construct complex circuits is presented. Logic circuits, such as half- or full-adders, can be reinterpreted by using the functional completeness of the implication function (IMP) and the trivial FALSE operation. The molecular gate IMP is represented by a fluorescent boronic acid sugar probe. An external wiring ...

Design and Optimization of Novel Sugar Alcohol Based Extended Release Tablets Prepared by Melt Dispersion Technique

     The aim of this study is to prepare novel sorbitol based extended release tablets by melt dispersion method using carbamazepine as a model drug. Carbamazepine was melted along with sugar alcohol to get melt dispersion granules (MGDs) and was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and solubility study. The physical and chemical parameters...

Effect of Hard Segment Molecular Weight on Dilute Solution Properties of Ether Based Thermoplastic Polyurethanes

A systematic study was conducted on the effect of hard segment molecular weight (or length) on solution and bulk properties of ether based thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs). The purpose of this study is to provide a roadmap to deliver the desired end-use performance of a polyurethane product based on the optimal design of the starting materials. In this paper, we report our findings on the eff...

Formulating polyurethanes using case based reasoning

Seed Oil Based Polyurethanes: An Insight

Seed oils [SO] are cost‐effective, eco‐friendly and biodegradable in nature. They bear functional groups such as carboxyls, esters, double bonds, active methylenes, hydroxyls, oxirane rings and others, amenable to several derivatization reactions. Their abundant availability, non‐toxicity and rich chemistry has established SO as focal point of polymer production, e.g., production of polyesters,...
