Mechanical and Thermal Properties and Morphology of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)/Clay Composites

In this study, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites were prepared with different nanoclay contents (1, 3 and 10 wt%). The nanoclay Cloisite ®30B (C30B) was dispersed in the TPU matrix by melt processing using a twin-screw extruder. The synthesis method of TPU involved the two-step bulk polyme...
