Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Poly(urethane urea) Nanocomposites Prepared with Diamine-Modified Laponite

Nanocomposites based on segmented poly(urethane urea) were prepared by reacting a poly(diisocyanate) with diamine-modified Laponite-RD nanoparticles that served as a chain extender. The nanocomposites were prepared at a constant NH2 to NCO mole ratio of 0.95, while varying the fraction of diamine-mo...
