Abstract: A two-component polyurethane adhesive is described. The polyurethane adhesive has high strength and extensibility, wherein the mechanical properties are only slightly dependent on the temperature. The polyurethane adhesive is suitable as a structural adhesive that is decomposed by heating in such a way that adhesive bonds can be undone in a temperature range of interest. The adhesive can include a triol, a diol, an alkoxylated aromatic diol, a polyamine, a polyisocyanate, and a polyurethane polymer having isocayanate groups in certain ratios.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shape memory polymer, to a process for its production and to a process for its programming. The inventive shape memory polymer has at least two switching segments with different transition temperatures (Ttrans,1, Ttrans,2) such that the polymer, depending on the temperature, as well as a permanent shape (PF), can also assume at least two temporary shapes (TF1, TF2). The first switching segment is based essentially on a polyester of the general formula (I) where n=1 . . . 6 or a copolyester of the general formula (I) with different n or a derivative thereof. The second switching segment is based essentially on a polyacrylate of the general formula (II) in which R is H or CH3, and R1 is a saturated or unsaturated, cyclic or aliphatic, unsubstituted or substituted C1-C10 radical.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a matrix structure for inducing a neofascia with at least one two-dimensional matrix of at least one biocompatible and resorbable polymer, wherein the surface of the matrix is designed to immobilize tissue cells, in particular autologous fibrocytes of the fascia transversalis, and to reduce a preferably three-dimensional tissue growth in vitro or in vivo. The invention is also directed to a hybrid matrix system, which includes the matrix structure and tissue cells immobilized thereon. The novel matrix as well as the fascia hybrid are characterized by a high biocompatibility and overcome the disadvantages of non-degradable implants, thereby promoting formation of a neofascia with native biomechanical properties.
