Electromagnetic wave absorption materials that can be utilized for freewill adhering or peeling from the target substrate remain a challenge to be solved. Compared to powder-based slurry and coatings, microwave absorption films possess clear advantages for their good flexibility and machinability. However, the matching thickness and effective bandwidth of 2D microwave absorption films cannot satisfy the current application requirements.

Polyurethane (PU)-based damping materials can dissipate the external mechanical and acoustic energy through molecular chain movements to mitigate the adverse effects of vibrations and noise. In this study, PU-based damping composites were obtained by compositing PU rubber prepared using 3-methyltetrahydrofuran/tetrahydrofuran copolyether glycol, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and trimethylolpropane monoallyl ether as raw materials with hindered phenol, viz.

Article Synopsis
- PLA (Polylactic acid) is a promising material for biomedical applications due to its good physical properties, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, but its brittleness and high shape-recovery temperature present challenges for use in the human body.
- Researchers created a modified PLA-based thermoplastic polyurethane (PLA-TPU) that can have its glass transition temperature altered, making it more suitable for medical applications as it can retain shapes at room temperature and recover at body temperature (above 37 °C).
- The PLA-TPU also shows advantages like recyclability, 3D printing potential, non-toxicity, blood compatibility, and biodegradability, suggesting its use as flexible medical scaffolds in surgeries and implantable devices.
