Reinforcement of polyether polyurethane with dopamine-modified clay : the role of interfacial hydrogen bonding

Dopamine-modified clay (D-clay) was successfully dispersed into polyether polyurethane (PU) by solvent blending. It is found that the incorporation of D-clay into PU gives rise to significant improvements in mechanical properties, including initial modulus, tensile strength, and ultimate elongation,...
