Combination and application expansion of Thermoplastic Polyurethanes with other materials
Publish Time: 2024-05-08
Thermoplastic Polyurethanes are widely used in many fields due to their excellent elasticity, wear resistance and processing properties. However, a single material property is often difficult to meet complex and changing application requirements. Therefore, effectively combining Thermoplastic Polyurethanes with other materials has become the key to expanding its application range.
First, we can compound Thermoplastic Polyurethanes with other materials through physical methods. For example, by combining Thermoplastic Polyurethanes with fibers, fabrics and other base materials through hot pressing and lamination, composite materials with waterproof, breathable, wear-resistant and other functions can be prepared. This kind of composite material is widely used in clothing, shoe materials and other fields, such as mountaineering shoes, ski clothing, etc.
Secondly, chemical methods also provide the possibility to combine Thermoplastic Polyurethanes with other materials. Through chemical reactions, such as copolymerization, grafting, etc., Thermoplastic Polyurethanes can be combined with other polymer materials to form copolymers or grafts with new properties. This approach enables precise control of material properties to meet the needs of specific applications.
In addition, the application of nanotechnology also provides new ways to combine Thermoplastic Polyurethanes with other materials. By dispersing nanoparticles in a matrix of Thermoplastic Polyurethanes, nanocomposites with special properties can be prepared. These nanocomposites have excellent properties in mechanics, thermal, electrical and other aspects, providing more possibilities for the application expansion of Thermoplastic Polyurethanes.
In general, effectively combining Thermoplastic Polyurethanes with other materials can greatly expand its application scope. Through various means such as physics, chemistry and nanotechnology, we can prepare composite materials with a variety of excellent properties to meet various complex and changing application needs.
