“…4 Coatings form a significant proportion of PU's applications (perhaps ∼10%). Examples include PU paints (for steel, concrete, wood and other surfaces), 5,6 and coatings for automotive interiors, 7 automotive acid-rain etching-resistant topcoats and clearcoats, 8 aircraft, 8 industrial machinery, 9 adhesives, 10 marine applications 11,12 and many others. PU is applied as coatings using various methodologies, such aspowder coatings, dip-coating, spray, roller, curtain-coater or electrostatic application.…”

“…5,6,8,14 The latter factor is an important reason for the use of PU coatings on plastic substrates, including topcoats to epoxy surfaces. 12 In an excellent review published in 1999, Zdrahala & Zdrahala describe the historical development of the science and application of PUs in the biomedical arena. 15 These authors state that it was perhaps a paper appearing in Science in 1967 describing the use of a "medical-grade" elastomer 16 that brought PUs for biomedical applications into the spotlight.…”

Polyurethanes (PUs), formed by the reaction of diisocyanates with polyols (or equivalent) in the presence of a catalyst, have a wide variety of industrial uses. Much recent attention has focused on their biomedical applications, owing to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and tailorable chemical and physical forms. Examples of such application areas include antibacterial surfaces and catheters, drug delivery vehicles, stents, surgical dressings/pressure sensitive adhesives, tissue engineering scaffolds and electrospinning, nerve generation, cardiac patches and PU coatings for breast implants. Following a brief introduction to PUs, this review surveys selected articles, mostly from 2014 to 2017, that highlight this diverse range of biomedical applications offered by PU materials and coatings.
