Polyurethane (PU) films were prepared from different types of poly(e-caprolactone) glycols and hexamethylene diisocyanate without using any other ingredients such as solvent, catalyst, or chain extender. Polymers were stabilized by crosslinking formed as allophanate and/or biuret linkages during the curing process. The effects of different components on the product properties such as chemical structure, microphase segregation, mechanical strength, thermo-mechanical, thermal properties, and surface hydrophilicities were investigated by FTIR-ATR, atomic force microscope, mechanical tester, dynamic mechanical analyses, thermogravimetric analyzer, differential scanning calorimetry, and contact angle measurements. Phase separation of hard and soft segments significantly varied depending on the type and molecular weight of diol and triol. Films containing urethane-urea bonds displayed the maximum phase separation and the highest mechanical strength. Polyols having higher molecular weight increased hydrophilicity while urea bonds caused a reverse effect resulted by bidentate hydrogen bonds. Results showed PUs with various properties can be synthesized via environmentally friendly process without using any solvent or catalyst. (C) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of expandable graphite on flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane composites filled with huntite&hydromagnesite mineral
Guler, Turkan; Tayfun, Umit; Bayramlı, Erdal; DOĞAN, Mehmet (2017-01-10)
The effect of expandable graphite (EG) was studied on the flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) containing huntite&hydromagnesite (HH). According to the flammability tests results, the synergistic interaction was observed between HH and EG. The maximum limiting oxygen index (LOI value was observed at a ratio of 1:1 (HH:EG) and the highest vertical burning test (UL-94) rating of V0 was observed at a ratios of 4:1, 3:2 and 1:1. The synergistic interaction betwe...
Influence of zinc borate on flame retardant and thermal properties of polyurethane elastomer composites containing huntite-hydromagnesite mineral
Dike, Ali Sinan; Tayfun, Umit; DOĞAN, Mehmet (2017-11-01)
The effect of zinc borate (ZnB) was studied on the flame retardant and thermal properties of thermoplastic polyurethane containing huntite-hydromagnesite. The flame retardant properties of thermoplastic polyurethane-based composites were investigated using limiting oxygen index, vertical burning test (UL 94), thermogravimetric analysis, and mass loss calorimeter. No remarkable effect of ZnB was observed on the flammability properties of composites. UL 94 rating did not change regardless of the added amount ...

Polyurethane (PU) films were prepared from liquefied cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin in different proportions. The simplex-lattice design method was employed to investigate the effects of each component and their associated interactive effects on the properties of the liquefied products and the PU films. Thermal properties were studied by means of Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) and Thermal Gravimetry Analyzer (TGA). Results showed that the contents of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin significant...
Preparation of Hydroxyapatite-Titania Hybrid Coatings on Titanium Alloy
Un, Serhat; Durucan, Caner (Wiley, 2009-08-01)
Hydroxypapatite-titania hybrid films on Ti6Al4V alloys were prepared by sol-gel technique by incorporating presynthesized hydroxypapatite (Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2) or HAp) powders into a titanium-alkoxide dip coating solution. Titania network was formed by the hydrolysis and condensation of Ti-isopropoxide Ti[OCH(CH3)(2)](4)-based sols. The effect of titania sol formulation, specifically the effect of organic solvents on the microstructure of the dip coated films calcined at 500 degrees C has been investigated....
