One of the principal failures of current vascular prostheses is compliant mismatch between the host arteries and prostheses at the anastomoses. Current commercial vascular prostheses are fabricated using either microporous poly(tetrafluoroethylene) or poly(ethylene terephthalate), both of which are

Blends of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with very lowdensity polyethylene (VLDPE) have been studied. The blends are immiscible owing to the differences in the polarities of the component polymers. Thermal studies using a differential scanning calorimeter showed that the blending does not change t
Studies were done to understand the effects of polyamide 12 (PA 12) incorporation on microphase separation (microsegregation) in thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) based on oligoether (polytetramethylene oxide, molecular weight, 1000) and oligoester (polyethylene butylene glycol adipate, molecular we
In this work, the compatibility of blends of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (p-PVC) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was investigated using a dynamic mechanical analyzer and scanning electron microscopy. Two kinds of TPU with different ratios of hard to soft segments, i.e., TPU90 and TPU70 wer
A sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) and a polyurethane containing a tertiary amine group (NPU) were blended in solution. The effect of blend composition was studied in the blend of SPS with 9.83 mol % of sulfonation (SPS-9.83) and NPU with 33 mol % of MDEA (NPU-33). As the SPS concentration increases, a
