Thermoplastic polyurethanes with glycolysate intermediates from polyurethane waste recycling.
(Elsevier, 2017-10)
The polyol is a major component in polyurethane formulations and therefore introducing to the formulation recycled polyol (obtained during decomposition process) allows decreasing the usage of pure petrochemical components. ...
Optically active multilayer films based on chitosan and an azopolymer
(2014-02-24)
The layer-by-layer technique has been widely adopted for the fabrication of nanostructures with tailored properties. In this work, photoactive multilayer films consisting of alternating layers of chitosan and an azopolymer ...
Two different incorporation routes of cellulose nanocrystals in waterborne polyurethane nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The renewability, availability and low-cost of eco-friendly cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), have gaining attention for nanocomposites preparation due to their unique properties in the nanoscale and their water dispersibility, ...
Shape-memory properties of crosslinked biobased polyurethanes
(2016-03-25)
Biobased crosslinked polyurethanes were synthesized and characterized as shape-memory polymers. Both the macrodiol and the diisocyanate were derived from renewable sources; the first one from castor oil, and the second one ...
Properties of flexible polyurethane foams containing isocyanate functionalized kraft lignin
(Elsevier, 2017-02-20)
A commercial kraft lignin (k-lignin) was successfully functionalized by means of the reaction of an isocyanate group from isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) with hydroxyl groups present in lignin (k-IPDI), for their further ...
Synthesis and characterization of polyurethanes with high renewable carbon content and tailored properties.
(2016-08-31)
Thermoplastic and cross-linked biobased polyurethanes with a renewable carbon content ranging from 78 to 98% were synthesized and characterized. The macrodiol and the diisocyanate used were derived from renewable source, ...
Synthesis of waterborne polyurethane-urea dispersions with chain extension step in homogeneous and heterogeneous media
(Elsevier, 2016-05-13)
[EN Hypothesis: The possibility of tailoring the final properties of environmentally friendly waterborne
polyurethane and polyurethane-urea dispersions and the films they produce makes them attractive for
a wide range ...
Synthesis and characterisation of polyurethane elastomers with semi-products obtained from polyurethane recycling.
(2016-10-01)
In this work polyurethane elastomers were synthesised by using different mixtures of a petrochemical and glycerolysate polyols and 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). Glycerolysate polyol was produced from polyurethane ...
