Implication

Explores the influence of side groups on polyurethane properties, indicating potential applications.

Abstract

To effectively optimize the physicochemical properties of polyurethanes for practical applications, we have designed and synthesized a series of poly( ε -caprolactone)-based polyurethanes (PCL-based PUs) functionalized with five different side groups of...
