Hydrolytic degradation of D-mannitol-based polyurethanes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The capacity of redox D-mannitol-based polyurethanes to modulate the glutathione response under physiological conditions, as well as their effectiveness for sustained and site-specific drug release in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), have been ...

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

EFFECT OF MACROGLYCOL STRUCTURE AND ITS MOLECULAR-WEIGHT ON PHYSICOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYURETHANES

open access: yes, 1995
The molecular weight of polyester polyol plays an important role in controlling mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of polyurethanes. Two systems are studied for evaluation of these properties.

Ionic Liquid (IL) Compatibilization of Macropore‐Infused Nanocomposite Emulsion Thermosets (MINETs) for Structural Ion Transport

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Macropore‐infused nanocomposite emulsion thermosets (MINETs) offer tunable multifunctionality due to their incorporation of structural resin, functional nanoparticles, and working fluid stabilized by surfactant. Here we show that if ionic liquid working fluids are introduced, structural capacitive (conductive particles) or separator (insulating ...

Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes (Poss): Silicon Based Monomers and their Use in the Preparation of Hybrid Polyurethanes

open access: yes, 1998
A series of Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) monomers bearing reactive hydroxyl functionalities, suitable for incorporation into step-growth polymers, is described. These monomers are difunctional in nature and are particularly well suited for

Amphiphilic Non‐Isocyanate Polyurethane Coatings With Tunable Antifouling and Fouling‐Release Performance: A Log‐Ratio Assessment Framework

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic non‐isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) coatings containing reactive hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and hydrophilic methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) prepolymers for marine antifouling (AF) and fouling‐release (FR) applications were investigated. The coatings were evaluated with a set of representative marine foulants.

Scalable Fabrication of Chemically Stabilized Gelatin Hydrogel Fibers by Thermal Drawing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Scalable processing of hydrogel fibers remains a major challenge. By coupling thermal drawing with Maillard chemistry, a transient viscous‐flow window is created that enables continuous fabrication of microstructured gelatin fibers tens of meters long, while continued in situ crosslinking during drawing stabilizes the fibers for physiological ...

In vivo biocompatibility and biostability of modified polyurethanes

open access: yes, 1997
Modified segmented polyurethanes were examined for biostability and biocompatibility using an in vivo cage implant system for time intervals of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 weeks.

Two‐Way Shape Memory Polymer Composite Gripper for Adaptive Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐way shape memory polymer (SMP) composite is developed with intrinsic shape‐changing capability driven solely by temperature, eliminating external actuation loads. Embedding the SMP in a low‐stiffness elastomeric matrix enabled reversible transformations during heating and cooling cycles.
