Synthesis of biodegradable thermoplastic elastomers based on polyurethane

Biodegradable thermoplastic elastomer based on polyurethanes (BTPU) were synthesized from random or triblock copolymers, with polycaprolactone (PCL) as one of the component in the soft segments (SS). 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) served as hard segments (HS). These B...
