The nutrient release experiment of polyurethane coated urea (PCU) was carried out in pure water at 25 degrees C. With the release of urea, the structural variation of polyurethane coating was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), then a series of curves were collated and compared so as to better reflect the relation between diffusion rate of urea and coating structure. It was found that when the nutrient was released by 50% wt, new absorption peaks at 3 435, 3 342, 1 671, 1 621, 1 448 and 1 159 cm(-1) appear in the FTIR spectra of polyurethane coating, moreover, the height of these absorption peaks was increased gradually when the nutrient was released by 70% wt, more importantly, these new absorption peaks are consistent with the characteristic absorption peaks of urea fertilizer, the spectra of urea were mainly characterized by bands at 3 440, 3 346, 1 672, 1 621 and 1 461 cm(-1). The results show that the IR spectra variation was caused by the content of urea, existing in the polyurethane coating, and was increased gradually, The more the urea content, the greater the swelling degree of the polyurethane coating. The swelling of polyurethane coating leads to the pores size change, and release rate is increased, so the "S" pattern curve of the nitrogen accumulative release is formed.

In accordance with German guideline ZTV-ING Part 4, full-locked coil ropes are provided with a three-layer corrosion protection coating based on epoxy resin and polyurethane, which must be renewed regularly. An alternative method is to use a coating of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is extruded onto the rope. In this article, the mechanical behavior of the thermoplastic material is studied, taking into account various accelerated aging processes, which are derived from the climatic boundary conditions of a real bridge structure and implemented in tests.

In this study, waterborne polyurethane (WPU), a novel modifier, was used for the wet surface modification of talc, and its mechanism was investigated. Polypropylene (PP)-based composites with modified talc were synthesized and subjected to an examination of their mechanical properties. The wetting contact angle demonstrated that the modified talc exhibited an excellent modification effect at a specific amount of modifier (2.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) induced by rapid bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on urinary catheters is a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed. To prevent CAUTI, many contact-killing, non-leaching coatings have been developed for the surfaces of silicone catheters. However, due to the chemical inertness of the silicone substrate, most current coatings lack adhesion and are unstable under external forces.

Heatable super hydrophobic polyurethane (PU) sponges (S-GNS/CNT/PVA@PU) containing three-dimensional (3D) carbon nano-networks (CNNs) coatings made from two-dimensional (2D) expanded graphite nano-sheets (GNS) bridged by one-dimensional (1D) carbon nano-tubes (CNT) were constructed using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as binder, in which light and/or electric energy could be rapidly converted into heat to reduce the viscosity of spilled heavy oils, resulting in greatly increased oil. Their heavy oil recovery rate could reach 792 kg/(m·h) under combined light and Joule heating of 1 sun and 5 V. Surface heat dissipating coefficient Ks, heat dissipating index n, and surface heat absorption capacity Cs were studied relating to sizes and shapes of surface heating fields under varied heating modes.

Pathogen bacteria appear and survive on various surfaces made of steel or glass. The existence of these bacteria in different forms causes significant problems in healthcare facilities and society. Therefore, the surface engineering of highly potent antimicrobial coatings is highly important in the 21st century, a period that began with a series of epidemics.
