Polyurethane-Graphene Composite

Patent Title: POLYURETHANE FILM COMPRISING GRAPHENE AND PREPARATION PROCESS THEREOF.

 Number/Link: WO/2018/202747

Applicant/Assignee:  Directa Plus

Publication date: 8 November 2018

“Gist”: A PU film containing graphene nano-platelets

Why it is interesting: The invention is about polyurethane-graphene nanocomposites useful as films in textiles for clothing and medical applications. The films are prepared by incorporating into a (commercially available) PU resin, 1-30% (w/w) of graphene nano platelets together with 0.1-5% of (pref.) silica particles as a blocking agent and a solvent to adjust viscosity.  The composition is cured on a flat support as a film of 10 to 100µm thick. It is said that the PU films can a.o. have improved breathability, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and antibacterial activity.

Superhydrophilic Polyurethane Coatings

Patent Title: HYDROPHILIC ANTI-FOG COATINGS

 Number/Link: US2015/0344725

Applicant/Assignee: InnoSense

Publication date: 3-12-2015

“Gist”: A hydrophilic anti-fog coating is pepared by incorporating silica particles  and organosilicate micelles

Why it is interesting: A superhydrophilic coating composition is made from a polyurethane prepolymer together with 1-5% (w/w) of a ~30nm monodisperse colloidal silica and up to 10% (v/v) of organosilicate micelles having a hydrophilic porous ‘shell’ and a (pref.) hydrophilic ‘core’, all in a solvent. The composition is said to be especially useful for anti-fog coatings on optically-clear plastic substrates (polycarbonate, polyurethane, polyester..).  According to the theory the porous shell of the micelles draws water away from the coated surface while the micelle cores act as a water reservoir.  Very clever.
