A group of researchers from the Biomaterials and Regenerative Therapeutics Laboratory in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at University at Buffalo has shown that nanostructured phases of ...

You’ll often hear plastic pollution referred to as a problem. But the reality is that it’s multiple problems. Depending on the properties we need, we form plastics out of different polymers, each of ...

Diisocyanates are used in the preparation of all polyurethanes, ranging from the foams used in shoe soles to the thermoplastics used in cell phone cases. Aromatic diisocyanates, which give ...

As a consequence of low volatile organic compound (VOC) release, waterborne polyurethane (WPU) is in line with the trend of advocating for environmental protection and gradually replacing traditional ...

This research offers a simple and convenient strategy for surface decoration of polyurethane sponge foam through the covalent attachment of 5,5-dimethylhydantoin as an N-halamine precursor using ...
