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 ...

Ever since water was accidentally introduced into a reactor that contained toluene diisocyanate and polyester polyol, creating the first flexible polyurethane foam, materials scientists and designers ...

Polyurethanes have become one of the most dynamic groups of polymers and they find use in nearly every aspect of modern life, in applications such as furniture, bedding, seating and instrument panels ...

A new study demonstrates the role of nanostructured biphasic morphology of segmental polyurethanes as a matrix signal for organization of endothelial cells into network structures. A group of ...
