Probing the behaviour of poly(ethylene oxide) : poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) surfactants in the formation of hydrophilic polyurethane foam

Polyurethane (PU) foams are widely used in the medical industry in the treatment of chronic wounds but the role of surfactants in the reaction process, which strongly influences foam structure and properties, is not well understood. In this research, a homologous series of non-ionic poly(ethylene ox...
