Polyurethane (PU) has wide application and popularity as medical apparatus due to its unique structural properties relationship. However, there are still some problems with medical PUs, such as a lack of functionality, insufficient long-term implantation safety, undesired stability, etc. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the nanomodification of medical PU provides new solutions to these clinical problems. The introduction of nanomaterials could optimize the biocompatibility, antibacterial effect, mechanical strength, and degradation of PUs via blending or surface modification, therefore expanding the application range of medical PUs. This review summarizes the current applications of nano-modified medical PUs in diverse fields. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms in efficiency optimization are analyzed in terms of the enhanced biological and mechanical properties critical for medical use. We also conclude the preparation schemes and related parameters of nano-modified medical PUs, with discussions about the limitations and prospects. This review indicates the current status of nano-modified medical PUs and contributes to inspiring novel and appropriate designing of PUs for desired clinical requirements.

“…1 To ameliorate the properties of PUA films, it is crucial to improve hydrophobicity to make self-cleaning surfaces as well as mechanical strength and adhesion to the surface. Currently, incorporating inorganic fillers like nanoparticles such as nanoclay, nanosilica, TiO 2 , ZnO, Al 2 O 3 , carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes and graphene oxides [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] into polymer organic coatings can promote corrosion resistance as well as improve mechanical properties without disturbing key attributes. The addition of organic fillers such as chitosan, cellulose nanoparticles and chitin nanoparticles has been shown to improve mechanical properties.…”

This study deals with the fabrication of a novel polyketone nanofiber‐reinforced UV‐curable polyurethane acrylate nanocomposite. An aliphatic polyketone nanofibrous mat was proficiently prepared by electrospinning using a solvent mixture of methylene chloride and trifluoroacetic acid. The outstanding characteristics of polymer nanofibers including a small pore size, a high aspect ratio and molecular orientation and an excellent mechanical performance offer the use of nanofibers as reinforcement in making nanocomposites. We fabricated a novel highly transparent and flexible nanocomposite film based on casting, electrospinning and UV‐curing processes. This method allowed significant enhancement of the mechanical properties using a very small amount (approximately 3.5 gsm) of polyketone nanofiber. The yield strength and Young's modulus of the nanocomposite were improved by up to 61% and 60%, respectively, compared to a UV‐cured polyurethane acrylate film. The reinforcing effect of nanofibers was accomplished without sacrificing the transparency and flexibility of polyurethane acrylate. The morphologies of the nanofibers and fiber–resin interface as well as the characteristics of the nanocomposite films were also studied. The effective use of nanofibers as a reinforcement and the preparation of a nanocomposite along with its characterization in comparison to a UV‐cured polyurethane acrylate film are also discussed. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

Titania (TiO2) is one of the most versatile materials in the field of polymer science and technology. In recent years, a large area of research has focused on the combination of TiO2 with polymers and other carbon nanostructures. Literature reports suggest that nanoscale TiO2 reinforcement gives rise to new optical, electrical, and physiochemical properties attained at extremely low TiO2 content, thus making these nanocomposites (NCs) a promising new class of materials. This review summarizes the contemporary views on the state‐of‐the‐art synthesis and applications of TiO2‐based polymer nanocomposites having different polymer matrices. The merits and demerits of various fabrication techniques have been presented alongside. Moreover, the worth of polymer/TiO2 NCs for various applications such as environmental remediation, i.e., water treatment and gas separation, biomedical, sensing, and energy sector has also been discussed. Based on the latter, one can safely anticipate that these materials hold the promise for commercial applications in widespread fields.
