Hydrophilic reactive hot-melt polyurethane adhesive(HRHA) using a hydrophilic polyol having different molecular weight and NCO index was synthesized. This HRHA was synthesized using Polyethylene glycol(PEG) as a hydrophilic polyol, Polypropylene glycol(PPG) and Polycaprolactone diol(PCL) as hydrophobic polyols, and Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate(MDI) as an isocyanate. The changes in IR spectrum, viscosity and thermal properties of HRHA with different PEG molecular weights and NCO index were investigated, and the tensile strength and elongation of the HRHA casting film and the peel strength, moisture permeability and water pressure of the HRHA coated fabric were confirmed. In this experiment, as the molecular weight of PEG and NCO index increased, the adhesive strength, tensile strength, elongation and moisture permeability was increased but viscosity and Tg was decreased.

In this study, hydrophilic polyurethane (PU) was synthesized by one shot process to get good non-swelling effect and to keep high breathability using reactive silicone oil of mono terminal and bi-terminal types. We also blended non reactive silicone oil with pure hydrophilic PU to compare non-swelling effect and breathability with hydrophilic PU synthesized by the two types of reactive silicone oils. The hydrophilic films were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photo electron (XPS) spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), breathability, waterproofness, tensile strength, contact angle and swelling effect. The results showed that the film made by hydrophilic PU which was synthesized with mono terminal type silicone oil provided good non-swelling effect and acceptable moisture permeability due to the modified surface properties.

Waterborne polyurethane as a new polymer electrolyte was synthesized by using relatively hydrophilic polyols. The morphology of polyurethane was changed as it was dispersed in water. In contrast to polyurethane ionomer, waterborne polyurethane did not form an ionic cluster but produced a binary system composed of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. In the colloidal system, the former and the latter existed at outward and inward, respectively. Waterborne polyurethane was prepared from poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) /poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) copolymer, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate(MDI), ethylene diamine as a chain extender, and three ionization agents, 1,3-propane sultone, sodium hydride and lithium hydroxide. PEG/PPG copolymer was used for suppressing the crystallinity of PEG and N-H bond was ionized for increasing the electrochemical stability of polyurethane. Low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(ethylene glycol dimethyl ether) (PEGDME) were used as plasticizers. DSC, FT-IR and $^1$H-NMR of the waterborne polyurethane were measured. Also, the ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes based on waterborne polyurethane and various concentrations of low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) or PEGDME were measured by AC impedance.

Thermal burn occurred in the anesthetized dog as a result of using hot pack to treat hypothermia. After hospital discharge, thermal burn leaded to secondary infection due to dog bites of the other dog in the house. After secondary infection, the treatment was performed with medication and bandaging. Because of the pain and infection from the wound, carprofen (2 mg/kg bid) and amoxicillin (20 mg/kg bid) were administrated orally for 40 days. And for 35 days, wet-to-dry gauze dressing was used to absorb purulent exudate. During this period, the burn eschar was removed completely from the burn site. After 35 days, the hydrophilic polyurethane foam ($Medifoam^{(R)}$, Ildong Pharm, Co., Korea) was admitted to the burn site for 30 days. $Medifoam^{(R)}$ made healing rate of the wound faster because the inner layer did not adhered to the wound, and newly formed tissue was protected. The second layer, hydrophilic absorptive layer absorbed excessive fluid and kept the wound surface moist. After 65 days after thermal burn, the wound was healed completely.

This study surveyed on the synthesis of one-step type hydrophilic non-porous PU resin and the physical property of the coated fabric for the garment. Three kinds of chain extender such as MEG, 1,4-BD and NPG were used for the preparation of one-step type hydrophilic non-porous PU resin in order to examine the effect of chain extender on the physical properties of PU-coated fabric. And the effects of isocyanate on the physical properties of PU coated fabric were surveyed by mixing with various TDI and MDI ratios. In addition, the physical properties of the coated fabric treated with one-step type hydrophilic non-porous PU resin were examined according to the pre-treatment conditions such as cire finishing. Finally, the washing durability of the coated fabrics was assessed. The coated fabrics treated with PU resin synthesized with PEG1000, MEG and TDI/MDI (6/4) showed the best physical properties. Considering the pre-treatment conditions, best performance of hydraulic pressure, water vapor permeability, and water repellency were obtained with top roller rotation ratio of 150% under 50 ton pressure at $170^{\circ}C$.

An 8-month-old, intact male Collie and a 4-year-old, intact male Siberian husky presented with severe wounds on the limbs. Although the wounds were not managed adequately before presentation, there were no remarkable findings except for secondary infections. The lesions were cleaned with a disinfectant and then treated with systemic antibiotics. Additionally, a hydrophilic moisture-absorbing polyurethane dressing was applied to the limbs because a conventional bandage with silver sulfadiazine ointment was not effective. Both cases showed significant improvement in the lesions over a short period of time. These cases show that a bioactive dressing works efficiently to heal refractory wounds in dogs.

Protein adsorption on the polyurethane surface was modelled by a modified random sequential adsorption(RSA) process. In this model, polyurethane surface was modelled as a mixed domain of hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts which was implemented by a 2 dimensional $150{\times}150$ lattice in the computer. Protein adsorption was simulated using a small box which represents a particle of the protein, and polyurethane lattice by considering their hydrophobic interaction. In order to validate the model, we perfonned fibrinogen adsorption on polyurethane surface. Isotherms of the adsorbed protein were calculated and compared to the experimental data. The protein adsorption on the polyurethane surface could be well described using this computer model.

In this study, the polyurethane which has versatile applications has been reinforced with the natural clay, hectorite. The hectorite has better properties than montmorillonite. There are studies on polyurethane and montmorillonite but polyurethane and hectorite composite is published first time. Polyurethane is industrial polyurethane which makes the study to be applicable to the industry. Exfoliated structure has been obtained without using organic modifiers due to the hydrophilic nature of the polymer matrix and the mineral clay. Mechanical properties have been improved as well.

Polyurethane coating was designed to give a hydrophobic property on its surface by modifying it with hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane and then effects of surface hydrophobic tendency, water transport behavior and hence corrosion protectiveness of the modified polyurethane coating were examined using FT-IR/ATR spectroscopy, contact angle measurement and electrochemical impedance test. As results, the surface of polyurethane coating was changed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic property due primarily to a phase separation tendency between polyurethane and modifier by the modification. The phase separation tendency is more appreciable when modified by polydimethylsiloxane with higher content. Water transport behavior of the modified polyurethane coating decreased more in that with higher hydrophobic surface property. The decrease in the impedance modulus ${\mid}Z{\mid}$ at low frequency region in immersion test for polyurethane coatings was associated with the water transport behavior and surface hydrophobic properties of modified polyurethane coatings. The corrosion protectiveness of the modified polyurethane coated carbon steel generally increased with an increase in the modifier content, confirming that corrosion protectiveness of the modified polyurethane coating is well agreed with its water transport behavior.

The hardening system of polyurethanes has usually caused by air pollution. bad working condition and fire hazard according to using orgarnic solvents. Therefore there have been researched on emulsion, water soluble and colloid-dispersion based water soluble instead of using organic solvents recently. This study synthesized polyurethane dispersing particle by means of mixing precursor and neutralized emulsion method. In the first step, polyurethane was preparated from isophorone diisocyanate and poly (ethylene-adipate) glycol, and got precursor by introducing dimethyl propionic acid as a hydrophilic group. Synthesized polyurethane was bonded to the surface of fiber and crosslinked as a anti-static agent, and then looked for the change of color and softening property.
