A series of cationic waterborne polyurethane (CWPU) emulsions was synthesized with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) as hard segments; polyol (N210) and polyethylene glycol (PEG-2000) as soft segments; N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) as a hydrophilic chain extender; and trimethylolpropane (TMP) as a crosslinker. Then, the effects of the R-value, MDEA content, and TMP content on the properties of the CWPU emulsion, film, and fabric treatment were investigated. The results indicated that when the R-value was 3.0, the MEDA content accounted for 4.0% of the solid and the TMP content accounted for 1.0% of the solid. CWPU has excellent storage stability. Applying it to the fixing treatment of the viscose fiber fabrics can effectively improve the color fastness to rubbing, elasticity, surface smoothness, and anti-static properties.

Comparing to the solvent-based and waterborne polyurethanes (PU), the solvent-free reactive PU (RPU) is prepared via in-situ polymerization and film-formation of isocyanate-capped prepolymers and macromolecular polyols in solvent-free system. Thus, the carbon emissions and environmental pollutions are significantly reduced. However, the rapid polymerization also challenges the well control of structure and properties, especially the ordered microstructures.

Exploiting novel crosslinking chemistry, this study pioneers the use of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) to chemically crosslink porcine-derived gelatin, producing enhanced gelatin hydrogel films through a solvent-casting method. Our innovative approach harnesses the reactive isocyanate groups of WPU, coupling them effectively with gelatin's hydroxyl and primary amino groups to form robust urea and urethane linkages within the hydrogel matrix. This method not only preserves the intrinsic elasticity of polyurethane but also significantly augments the films' tensile strength and strain.

Nowadays, much attention is paid to the development of high-performance and multifunctional materials, but it is still a great challenge to obtain polymer materials with high mechanical properties, high self-healing properties, and multifunctionality in one. Herein, an innovative strategy is proposed to obtain a satisfactory waterborne polyurethane (PMWPU-Bx) by in situ anchoring 3-aminophenylboronic acid (3-APBA) in a pyrene-capped waterborne polyurethane (PMWPU) via supramolecular interactions. The multiple functional sites inherent in 3-APBA can produce supramolecular interactions with groups on PMWPU, promoting the aggregation of hard domains in the polymer network, which confers the PMWPU-Bx strength (7.

Within the context of the circular economy, the transformation of agri-food waste or by-products into valuable products is essential to promoting a transition towards more sustainable and efficient utilisation of resources. Whey is a very abundant by-product of dairy manufacturing. Apart from partial reutilisation in animal feed or some food supplements, the sustainable management and disposal of whey still represent significant environmental challenges.

Faced with all kinds of serious ecological and environmental protection problems in today's society, development must take the sustainable and green road. Nanocellulose aerogels with the advantages of wide resource of raw materials, low cost, good biocompatibility and biodegradation, are good thermal and sound insulation materials. Herein, a versatile composite aerogel with good thermal stability and heat-insulating property was prepared by freeze-drying method using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), waterborne polyurethane (WPU) and sepiolite (SEP) as substrates.
