Segmented block copolymers with short monodisperse crystallizable hard segments have
interesting structures and properties. In the melt, such short monodisperse segments are …

This new edition of a bestseller incorporates recent developments and advances in
thermoplastics with regard to materials development, processing, properties, and …

A novel segmented polyurethane (PU)/clay nanocomposite has been synthesized by
polyurethane and organoclay. 12 aminolauric acid (12COOH) and benzidine (BZD) were …

The liquid crystal state or the mesophase of a substance occurs on the phase diagram
between the crystal and the liquid phase. The liquid crystal state is also known as the …

High molecular weight thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPEs), which consist of
crystalline polycaprolactone soft segment and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI)/4, 4 …

The aim of this work was to prepare and characterize the series of segmented polyurethane
nanocomposites (PUNC) modified with poly (dimethylsiloxane) and based on …

Samples of polyurethane nanocomposites were synthesized using diphenylmethane
diisocyanate, poly (ε‐caprolactone) diol, di (ethylene glycol), and a clay functionalized by …

New aliphatic–aromatic α, ω-diols containing sulfur in aliphatic chain: 4, 4′-(ethane-1, 2-
diyl) bis (benzenethioethanol)[EBTE], 4, 4′-(ethane-1, 2-diyl) bis (benzenethiopropanol) …

We reported the first synthesis of CdS nanocrystal− polymer transparent hybrids by using
polyurethane (PU) grafted onto quantum dots (QDs) CdS nanocrystals. In a typical run, the …

A series of polyurethane elastomers containing aromatic azobenzene chromophore in the
hard segment was synthesized by a one-step method. AFM surface study showed that …
