Copper Replaces Tin: A Copper based Gelling Catalyst for Poly-Urethane from Discarded Motherboard [PDF]
A discarded motherboard based eco-friendly copper catalyst has been programmed to replace the industrially used tin based catalyst DBTDL. The catalyst has been characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR and TEM. Using the catalyst reaction conditions is optimized and under the optimized condition, both polyurethane and polyurethane foam are prepared ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Lignin-Based Polyurethane as a Potential Compatibilizer
Lignin is one of the most abundant biopolymer on earth. It has polar and non-polar side due to its hyperbranched structure, but the polarity of lignin has a higher tendency than non-polarity.

Mechanisms influencing the formation of the carbonized layer relief on the polymer surface after the ion-plasma treatment modeling [PDF]
The work is devoted to modeling of the processes occurring in ion-plasma treatment of polyurethane and forming on its surface a special carbonized layer. The mechanisms affecting the formation of wave-like relief in the carbonized layer are examined. The boundary value problem for the heat equation for modeling the effect of temperature component was ...

Pengaruh Jenis Poliol terhadap Pembentukan Poliuretan dari Monomer PEG400 dan MDI
The properties of polyurethane depend largely on building blocks, especially the kind of polyol. Not only pure synthetic compounds but also various natural substances such as saccharides (glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose) and amylose can be used as ...

The influence of electron beam irradiation on the chemical and structural properties of medical grade Polyurethane [PDF]
Thermo plastic polyurethane (TPU) provides excellent bio-compatibility, flexibility and good irradiation resistance; however, extremely high irradiation doses can alter the structure and function of macromolecules, resulting in oxidation, chain scission and cross-linking.

Nanostructured rigid polyurethane foams with improved specific thermo-mechanical properties using Bacterial Nanocellulose as a Hard Segment [PDF]
Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) was used to synthesize rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) based on its reaction with the isocyanate precursor (ISO route) and also by using the conventional procedure (POL route). The results indicated that at only 0.1 wt. % of BNC, drastic improvements of specific elastic compressive modulus (+244.2 %) and strength (+77.5 %)
