  • Patent number: 11608408
    Abstract: Described herein is a polyurethane including a reaction product of an isocyanate component, a polyol component, and graphene nano platelets. The graphene nano platelets are reacted in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight, based on a total weight of the polyurethane. The graphene nano platelets have an average lateral dimension (x, y) of from about 1 to about 100 ?m, an average through-plane dimension (z) of from about 5 to about 100 nm, and an oxygen content of from about 0.01 to about 10% by weight, based on a total weight of the graphene nano platelets.

  • Publication number: 20210269581
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure includes an elastomeric polyurethane foam with improved high temperature performance, comprising a reaction product of components including: (a) an isocyanate functional urethane prepolymer derived from one or more prepolymers comprising monomeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and polymeric MDI, and a polyether diol; and (b) an isocyanate-reactive component including: (i) a first polyol in an amount of about 10 to about 70 parts by weight of the isocyanate-reactive component, wherein the first polyol is a propylene oxide or ethylene oxide-capped nominal diol with a number-average molecular weight between about 1000 g/mol and about 9000 g/mol; (ii) a second polyol in an amount of about 0 to about 50 parts by weight of the isocyanate-reactive component, wherein the second polyol is a nominal triol with a high proportion of randomly dispersed ethoxy groups with a number-average molecular weight between about 1000 g/mol and about 8000 g/mol; (iii) a third polyol in an am

  • Patent number: 11053344
    Abstract: A hybrid composition includes an isocyanate, a polyester having at least one carbon-carbon double bond and at least one hydroxyl group, castor oil present in an amount of from 5 to 30 weight percent, a catalyst, and a solvent. The hybrid composition can be formed using various methods. The method may include combining the isocyanate and the castor oil to form a first adduct, combining the polyester, the solvent, and the catalyst to form a second adduct, and combining the first adduct and the second adduct. The method may alternatively include combining the castor oil, the solvent, and the polyester to form a third adduct, combining the third adduct with the isocyanate, and combining the catalyst with the third adduct and the isocyanate. The method may alternatively include combining the catalyst and the isocyanate component to form a fourth adduct, and combining the third and fourth adducts.
