    Notes: A series of multiblock polyurethanes containing various poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) contents (0-80 wt%) were prepared from hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI)/ PEO / poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO)/ polybutadiene diol (PBD)/ 1,4-butanediol (BD) and used as modifying additives (30 wt%) to improve the properties of biomedical grade PelletheneÒ. A hydrophilic PEO component was introduced by the addition of PEO-containing polyurethanes anddicumyl peroxide (DCP) as the crosslinking agents in a PelletheneÒ matrix. As the PEO content (PEO block length) increased, the hydrogen-bonding fraction of the crosslinked polyurethane also increased, indicating an increase in the phase separation with an increase in the PEO content in the crosslinked polyurethane. Using electron spectroscopy for a chemical analysis, the ratio of ether carbon to alkyl carbon in the crosslinked polyurethane film increased remarkably with an increase, in the PEO content. Meanwhile, the water contact angle of the crosslinked polyurethane film surfaces decreased with increasing PEO content. The water absorption and mechanical properties of the crosslinked polyurethane films increased with increasing and the platelet adhesion on the crosslinked polyurethane film surfaces decreased significantly. Accordingly, these results suggest that thecrosslinked polyurethane containing a hydrophilic PEO component may be more effective for a biomaterial application that is in direct contact with blood

    A Study of Biodegradable Superabsorbent Materials Based on Acrylonitrile Grafted Sodium Alginate (2005)

    Notes: Biodegradable superabsorbents, hydrolyzed AN(acrylonitrile)-grafted-SA(sodium alginate) copolymers were prepared in this study by graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile on sodium alginate and the subsequent hydrolysis of the resulting grafted copolymer. The absorbency was found to significantly depend on the % add-on, graft copolymerization conditions and hydrolysis conditions. The optimum condition for graft copolymerization to obtain the maximum % add-on (64.5%) was 4g SA, 12g AN, and 8.42g H2O2 in 100ml water at 70 oC for 10hr., respectively. The optimum hydrolysis conditions for the graft copolymer (64.5 % add-on) to reach the maximum water absorbency (2518g/g), saline absorbency (1558g/g), and WRV (288g/g) is 1g graft copolymer in 10 ml aqueous NaOH (1.0N) at 110 oC for 1 hr. Furthermore, this hydrolyzed AN-graft-SA showed agood biodegradability in enzymatic hydrolysis tests when compared with commercial superabsorbent materials

    Preparation and properties of a series of thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyesters (1990)

    Notes: A series of thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyesters were prepared by melt polymerization using p-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) and terephthalic acid (TPA) as mesogenic monomers, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) to give a flexible linkage, and 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene (1,4-DHN) as a dissymmetrical monomer. The composition of these monomers was varied as a means of manipulating processing temperature, morphology, and properties. Copolyesters with inherent viscosities near 0.7 that were melt processible in the temperature range of 200-300°C were obtained. The glass transition, thermal degradation, and melting temperatures, and crystal size all increased with increasing mesogenic unit content. The heterogeneous structure consisting of a PET-rich phase and a phase rich in mesogenic units was observed by SEM after chemical etching and by X-ray diffraction analysis. Highly anisotropic melts were observed indicating the presence of a nematic mesophase. The thermotropic LC copolyesters exhibit unusually well developed and highly oriented fibrillar structure at the neck area when injection molded. The orientation developed during processing is very similar to those of short-fiber-filled polymer composites. The LC copolyesters commonly have three relaxations in the temperature range of -100-200°C. By dynamic mechanical thermal analysis at 10 Hz, the relaxation temperatures were found to increase with increasing content of mesogenic units and of 1,4-DHN. For the temperature range of 25-120°C, the storage modulus of one of the members of this series were compared with Vectra (Celanese) and with Eastman PHB80, which have almost the same mesogenic contents. This new copolyester maintained its modulus until 80°C, while the modulus of Vectra decreased in two steps; a small depression at 40°C and then a large reduction at 85°C. PHB80 shows a large single transition at 50°C.

    Properties of UV-curable polyurethane acrylates for primary optical fiber coating (1992)

    Notes: Studies have been made on the effects of the chemical structure of reactive urethane acrylate prepolymers and diluents (reactive monomers) and overall composition of the prepolymer/diluent on the properties of the UV-curable polyurethane acrylates for primary optical fiber coating. We prepared several urethane acrylate prepolymers from two different isocyanates, 4,4′-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (HMDI) or isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), and two different polyols, polybutadiene diol (PBD) or polypropylene oxide diol (PPG), and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) with dibutyl tin dilaurate as a photoinitiator. UV-curable coating materials were formulated from the prepolymers and 2,2-dimethyl 2-phenyl acetophenone as a photoinitiator with one of four different diluents such as 1-vinyl 2-pyrrolidone (VP), lauryl methacrylate (LMA), acrylic acid 2-ethyl hexyl ester (AEHE), and acrylic acid n-butyl ester (ABE). It was found that AEHE is the desirable diluent in the formulation of the primary fiber-coating material. The desirable composition of PBD, when mixed PBD/PPG diols are used, should be about 50 wt % for optimum formulation. Most of the urethane acrylate prepolymers prepared in this study could be applied in the formulation of primary optical fiber coating and exhibited good properties of buffer functions, including low glass transition temperature, low modulus even at low temperature, say, below -40°C, high refractive index, and low viscosity. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
