Design and application of novel biodegradable chain extenders and surface-tuneable hyperbranched chain terminating agents in thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers
This thesis is in two distinct sections. In the first section, novel diketopiperazines are synthesised and incorporated as chain extenders into thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers and the resulting mechanical, thermal and degradative properties are analysed. In the second section, hyperbranched ch...
