摘要:
The strength and integrity of hydrophilic polyurethane resins prepared by reacting a diol component, an organic chain extender and an organic diisocyanate are improved by critical selection of the diol component, the amount of water in the reaction mixture and the mole rations of the reactants. The diol component is at least one of (1) a long chain poly(oxyethylene) glycol of molecular weight above 2500 and (2) a medium chain poly(oxyethylene) glycol or polyester glycol of 250-2500 molecular weight. The chain extender is a difunctional compound having a molecular weight of less than 250. The amount of water in the reaction mixture is 0.5 to 2.5 weight % and the urea content of the resins is from about 13.6 to 33.7 weight %.

Three-dimensional substrates having on at least one surface a coating formed of a polyurethane polyene composition obtained by reacting from about 10 to about 50 parts by weight of a polyene in the presence of about 100 parts by weight of a hydrophilic polyurethane resin. Transparent substrates are rendered antifogging by such coatings. The drag resistance of boat hulls may be decreased by a coating of the compositions and marine growth thereon may be inhibited by incorporating substances such as mercurous acetate in the coating.
摘要:
Polyurethane diacrylate compositions are obtained by reacting a diacrylate in the presence of from about 65 to about 95 weight percent of a hydrophilic polyurethane resin. The compositions will form a hydrogel upon immersion in water and are permeable to gases, ions and other low molecular weight species. The hydrophilic polyurethane diacrylate compositions may be molded to form shaped products that are dimensionally stable after repeated exposure to boiling water and exhibit memory. The compositions are useful as carriers for pharmacologically active agents in forming an oral delivery system.
摘要:
Water insoluble polyurethane polyether polymers that are soluble in ethanol at pH 11 characterized by a molecular weight above 6,000 and having carboxylate groups and hydroxyl groups in the polymer backbone are prepared by reacting a mixture of polyols, a polyfunctional lactone and a polyfunctional isocyanate proportioned so as to provide the desired polymer properties. The polymer so prepared contains lactone groups and hydroxyl groups in the polymer backbone. The lactone ring is opened by treating the polymer with an alkaline aqueous solution of a water miscible organic solvent to produce a water insoluble polyurethane polyether resin containing carboxylate groups and hydroxyl groups in the polymer backbone. The carboxylate groups may be in the form of a carboxylic acid group or its alkali metal or quaternary ammonium salt. The product is soluble in mixtures of water with a water miscible organic solvent and may be used in the preparation of surgical drapes and burn dressings.

摘要:
Polyurethane polymers characterized by a molecular weight above 6,000 and having lactone groups and hydroxyl groups in the polymer backbone are prepared by reacting a mixture of polyglycols proportioned so as to provide the desired polymer properties, a polyfunctional lactone and a polyfunctional isocyanate. The product is soluble in alkaline solutions and may be used for light sensitive photographic layers on films, paper or glass; in drug delivery systems, as burn dressings, in body implants such as vascular prosthesis, and in the manufacture of catheters. The novel polymers also find use in the manufacture of artificial finger nails, finger cots, adhesives, and in protective and hydrostatic drag resistant coatings. The water absorptivity of the polyurethane lactone polymers is above 10%, preferably above 20%, and these polymers may range to completely gel-like high water absorptive polymers. The polymers of the present invention can provide a leachable substrate wherein the leaching agent may be water, gases, alcohols, esters and body fluids, e.g., animal or human.
