Abstract: A modified polyurethane material and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. A dianhydride is added into an aliphatic diisocyanate to form a liquid reactant. A solvent is absent from the liquid reactant. An oligomerization is implemented onto the liquid reactant so as to form an oligomer having a terminal isocyanate group. A polyol and a curative are added into the oligomer having the terminal isocyanate group for a polymerization so as to form the modified polyurethane. Based on a total weight of the modified polyurethane being 100 wt %, a content of a hard segment of the modified polyurethane ranges from 15 wt % to 45 wt %.

Abstract: Aspects relate to systems and methods for dispensing paint uniformly on pliable items. The system comprises at least one paint application device having at least one nozzle, at least one infrared heating unit, and a conveyance mechanism. Other aspects of the system will also comprise a mask exchanger, a mask cleaner, and/or at least one base jig. The base jig retains a masked pliable item having exposed and covered portions. The base jig moves on a conveyance mechanism through a series of paint application devices and infrared heating units. Each paint application device dispenses a thin layer of paint on the exposed portions of the masked pliable item and each infrared heating unit heats the thin layer of paint to create a solid base for a next layer of paint.
