The thermal stability and flame retardancy of polyurethanes is reviewed. Polyurethanes
(PUs) are an important class of polymers that have wide application in a number of different …

A general overview is presented of the most relevant and commercially available aqueous
polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) and their typical properties. This paper starts with the …

Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) dispersions with different amine chain extenders, including
ethylene diamine (EDA), diethylene triamine (DETA), and triethylene tetramine (TETA), were …

High sold content waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs) were prepared based on star-shape
prepolymer which was synthesized via arm-first approach using pentaerythritol (PE) as core …

Strength and toughness are commonly two contradictory properties in polymer materials. For
polymer elastomers, the addition of stiff filler frequently results in enhanced stiffness but …

Montmorillonite K-10 clay was surface-modified using the cationic surfactants viz.,
butyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (BTPB), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and …

A series of hyperbranched polyurethane (HBPU)–urea coatings were synthesized by a
systematic two-step reaction process. Initially, isocyanate terminated PU prepolymers were …

Cross-linked polyurethanes (PUs) present outstanding properties and high versatility,
making them ideal for use in many different applications. Nevertheless, the intersection of …

High performance vegetable oil based hyperbranched polymers are not only interesting but
also very useful with respect to current scenario of advanced coating materials. So in the …

Remediation of oil spills requires new technologies to separate light oil/water/heavy oil
mixtures. Low-cost, biological, and environmentally friendly materials are needed to treat …
