Biodegradable thermoplastic polyurethanes incorporating polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane.
A new hybrid thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) system that incorporates an organic, biodegradable poly(D, L-lactide) soft block with a hard block bearing the inorganic polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS) moiety is introduced and studied. Changes in the polyol composition made through variation of the hydrophilic initiator molecular weight show direct control of the final transition temperature...
متن کاملNovel Polybutadiene Diols for Thermoplastic Polyurethanes
Krasol® polybutadiene diols are anionically polymerized products characterized by very narrow molecular weight distribution, linear structure of polymer chains and the absence of species with functionality higher than 0.2. These unique features make them suitable as hydrophobic polyol components for use in thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs). Various TPU formulations were developed using polybut...
متن کاملHighly Resilient Non-Soften Thermoplastic Polyurethanes
Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are a class of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that are used in a variety of applications (1). TPUs exhibit low temperature flexibility, excellent abrasion resistance, high tensile strength and good processing characteristics. The current medical grade TPU’s have unique property that the flex modulus decreases (softens) when placed in the body. A new resilient...
متن کاملEffect 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...
متن کاملWater - triggered shape memory of multiblock thermoplastic polyurethanes ( TPUs ) 3
In this article we describe the preparation and characterization of a water-triggered shape memory polymer (SMP) family, PCL–PEG based thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs). Upon immersion in water, water molecules selectively swelled the hydrophilic PEG domains, resulting in durable hydrogels with strain-to-failure values greater than 700%. Dry samples fixed in a temporary shape underwent watertr...
