“…[6,9,10] Another technique to achieve better absorption performance at a lower frequency is the development of different polymeric foams, including polyolefin-based foams. [8,11] Besides, the selection of suitable alternative polymeric foams can resolve the problems associated with undesirable aging properties of polyurethane foams, [12][13][14] along with their great tendency to absorb water, adversely affecting their acoustic performance. [8] Regarding their high flexibility and damping features, elastomers could be an appropriate polymeric matrix for designing porous sound-absorbing structures.…”

“…Note that this measurement already excluded the dependency of the surrounding temperature and humidity on a PU film because the examination environment was set at 32 C and 80 ± 5% during the experiment as already reported elsewhere. 38 The examination sample was connected to 20 g of weight attached to one end of the film and to a wall on the other end. A sandpaper-wrapped rod (#240) was attached to the PU film with constant rubbing to the film with the rotation (7300 rpm), and then, the examination was finished once the film was separated into two pieces.…”

This article reports the quantitative effect on carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are exposed to low‐temperature plasma, for the purpose of a filler application of polyurethane (PU) composite. The plasma exposure provides an opportunity for the surface modification of the CNTs, so the exposure possibly enhances the interfacial interaction in PU composite. In this article, we carried out a wear‐resistant examination to investigate the mechanical property of the PU composite with plasma‐treated CNTs with a variation of the CNT concentration in the PU composite. Our results showed that plasma treatment assisted the resistance of the PU composite. Furthermore, our observation showed that plasma treatment gives a good dispersion in the composite and possibly enhances interfacial interaction due to surface modification.

“…Several studies demonstrated that the morphology, quality, and mechanical properties of polyurethane foam materials change in a humid environment. Polyurethane foam materials in the service state underwater are subjected to high water pressure when they are used as repair materials in deep water engineering, and moisture has a higher degree of penetration into the material along its internal micropores [ 70 , 71 , 72 ]. Additionally, the performance of polyurethane foam materials varies depending on the depth of the water environment [ 13 ].…”

Polyurethane foam materials have broad application prospects in practical engineering as flame retardants, waterproof coatings, and grout repair materials due to advantages such as light weight, quick forming, and good durability. Due to water’s low cost and convenience, water-reactive Polyurethane foam materials are widely used in engineering. The content of the water has a significant effect on the performance of polyurethane foams after molding. Polyurethane foams with anti-seepage and reinforcement effects are used in complex water environments for long durations. This study analyzed the effects of water content on properties and the diffusion mechanism of polyurethane foam materials in water. Additionally, the effect of the water environment on the polyurethane grouting material’s properties was summarized. Finally, this study discussed the future research directions of polyurethane foam materials in a water environment.
