“…In contrast, PEU(y) and PEDU containing no ether moieties were harder and tougher than PEEU(x). It appeared that PEU(y) and PEDU were more similar to linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) [ 26 – 28 ] than some thermoplastic elastomers based on diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and polyols [ 29 ].…”

Novel poly(ester-urethane)s were prepared by a synthetic route using a lipase that avoids the use of hazardous diisocyanate. The urethane linkage was formed by the reaction of phenyl carbonate with amino acids and amino alcohols that produced urethane-containing diacids and hydroxy acids, respectively. The urethane diacid underwent polymerization with polyethylene glycol and α,ω-alkanediols and also the urethane-containing hydroxy acid monomer was polymerized by the lipase to produce high-molecular-weight poly(ester-urethane)s. The periodic introduction of ester linkages into the polyurethane chain by the lipase-catalyzed polymerization afforded chemically recyclable points. They were readily depolymerized in the presence of lipase into cyclic oligomers, which were readily repolymerized in the presence of the same enzyme. Due to the symmetrical structure of the polymers, poly(ester-urethane)s synthesized in this study showed higher Tm, Young’s modulus and tensile strength values.

“…Formation of porous surface with finer spherulites is found and the microstructures and wettability of the PP surfaces can be tuned by the non-solvents. Inspired by this result, other polymers such as polyethylene (PE) [11][12][13], polycarbonate (PC) [14,15], polystyrene (PS) [16], poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) [17], and poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) [18] were employed for fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces using the controlled phase-separation method. For example, phase separation process can be induced by the non-solvents of ethanol, water or their mixtures and superhydrophobic surfaces of PE, PS, PC, PVC, or PLA are obtained.…”

“…These surface energies come from the solid, liquid, and solid/liquid interfaces [15]. Superhydrophobic surfaces can be generated by two main approaches: (i) either the creation of a rough surface from low surface energy materials or (ii) the creation of a rough surface followed by the application of a low surface energy material coating [18,19].…”

Accumulated ice on exposed surfaces leads to operational difficulties and extensive maintenance for power transmission lines, antennas, aircraft, ships, and ground transportation vehicles.In the present study, the low pressure plasma polymerized Hexamethyldisiloxane (PP-HMDSO) film is deposited on aluminum surfaces to create a superhydrophobic coating with icephobic properties. Prior to the deposition of this low surface energy coating, aluminum surfaces were anodized or immersed in boiling water to make micro/nano structured surfaces.Plasma parameters were optimized in order to find the best optimum conditions for having high static contact angle and low contact angle hysteresis. Hence, the Grey-based Taguchi method was used as one of the Design of Experiment (DOE) techniques. The stability of coatings was studied under accelerated aging conditions such as UV degradation, immersion in distilled water and different pH solutions, and several icing/deicing cycles. It was observed that the PP-HMDSO coatings are quite stable against UV exposure and immersion in distilled water. However, the icephobicity of the PP-HMDSO coating deposited on the anodized aluminum decreased after fifteen icing/de-icing cycles.The stability of the developed coating was improved against several icing/de-icing cycles by increasing the deposition time of plasma polymerized coating from 15 to 25 minutes. The results showed that increasing the deposition time of plasma polymerization leads to decrease of the ice adhesion strength of coatings on anodized aluminum while it has no significant effect on the PP-HMDSO coating deposited on a water-treated aluminum surface. Finally, the superhydrophobic PP-HMDSO coating also provides anti-corrosion protection for the aluminum substrate.
