The compatibilty of TPU and NR blends
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-01)The blends of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with natural rubber (NR) at four different blends ratios were prepared via melt blending, with addition of liquid natural rubber (LNR) as compatibilizer. The effect of blend ... -
Impact of controlled hydrophobicity of the organically modified silicates on the properties of biomedical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013-09)The impact of nanofiller surface modifications and hydrophobicity on the morphology and mechanical properties of the biomedical TPU nanocomposites was studied. We show that incorporating nanofillers with higher hydrophobicity ...
