The present invention relates to a microballoon. The microballoon is made of polyurethane (urea). The microballoon is characterized in that an inner surface of the microballoon contains ionic groups. According to the present invention, through use for a CMP polishing pad, affinity with a slurry liquid for polishing is improved, and thus it is possible to provide a microballoon by which good polishing characteristics may be exhibited without lowering the resin strength of a polishing pad.

The present invention relates to polyphosphazenes, polyurethanes based on these polyphosphazenes, methods for their manufacture and hydrogels based on the polyurethanes. The invention further relates to the use of the hydrogels in medical, veterinary and agricultural applications. The terminal ends of the polyphosphazenes bear NCO-reactive hydrogen atoms for reaction with polyisocyanates.

Processes for producing polymer microcapsules using vicinal functional oligomers are also described. The vicinal functional oligomers can be made by polymerizing an acrylate monomer, a styrene monomer, or both in the presence of a chain transfer agent. The vicinal functional oligomers can be reacted with epichlorohydrin to form vicinal epoxies. The vicinal epoxies can be reacted with polyamines to form epoxy polymer microspheres. The vicinal epoxies can be reacted with carbon dioxide in the presence of a catalyst to form vicinal cyclic carbonates. The vicinal cyclic carbonates can be reacted with polyamines to form isocyanate-free polymer microspheres. Polymer microspheres made by the processes are also described.
