“…All the polymers in this study absorbed water. However, in comparison with PURs based on more hydrophilic polyols reported by other authors [51,52], those in this work were considered rather hydrophobic due to the hydrophobic nature of poly(e-caprolactone diol) [8]. The ability of polymers to absorb water is also affected by the range of macromolecular ordering.…”

“…After crosslinking with HMMM, water contact angles increased with increasing HMMM concentration, from 60 o to 65 o . This corresponded to a decrease in surface wettability [19]. The maximum contact angle was observed at the optimum HMMM content (8.46 wt%).…”

“…In contact with aqueous environments, it is obviously favorable for hydrophilic constituents of the polymer to become enriched at the interface, (Vermette & Griesser, 2001). For crosslinked blends of Pellethene and multiblock polyurethanes containing phospholipids, (Yoo & Kim, 2005), it was found for elastic modulus values ranged between 21-47 MPa, whereas for biomaterials based on cross-linked blends of Pellethene and multiblock polyurethanes containing poly(ethylene oxide) it was found for elastic modulus values ranged between 85-246 MPa, (Yoo & Kim, 2004).…”
