Abrasion Resistant Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomers (TPU): A Comprehensive Overview

introduction thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (tpus) are a versatile class of engineering plastics possessing a unique combination of elasticity, strength, and processability. their segmented structure, comprising hard segments (typically diisocyanates and chain extenders) and soft segments (typically polyols), allows for tailoring of properties to meet specific application requirements. among the desirable properties of tpus, abrasion resistance stands out as a critical factor in demanding environments where repeated…
