The present disclosure sets forth ink compositions having a biodegradable polyurethane binder that can be used for textile printing. In one example, an ink composition can include water, an organic co-solvent, a colorant, and a biodegradable polyurethane binder. The biodegradable polyurethane binder can include prepolymer segments including polymerized monomers of a diisocyanate and a diol. The diol can include to terminal 6-hydroxyhexanoate groups linked by an organic linking group. Chain extenders can connect the prepolymer segments. The chain extenders can include a polymerized diamine.

A graft polyurethane copolymer dispersion can include dispersed polyurethane particles including a graft polyurethane copolymer. The graft polyurethane copolymer in this example includes a polyurethane backbone, a graft side-chain polymer attached to the polyurethane backbone, sulfonic acid groups, and isocyanate-generated amines. The graft side-chain polymer can include a poly(meth)acrylic moieties with C1 to C12 alkyl pendant groups, polyalkylene oxide pendant groups, or a combination thereof.

A composite polyurethane condom and a preparation method thereof. The composite polyurethane condom includes a first substrate layer, an adhesive layer formed on the first substrate layer, and a second substrate layer formed on the adhesive layer. A special adhesive layer is added between the two layers of materials, so that, for example, two materials with different polarities can be firmly attached together without delamination.

A water-based polyurethane resin and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The method for manufacturing the water-based polyurethane includes: a preparation step of a prepolymer, a dilution step of the prepolymer, a water dispersion and chain extension step, and an acrylic synthesis step. The method further includes mixing polyol and polyisocyanate to obtain a prepolymer, and diluting the prepolymer by adding acrylic monomer in the prepolymer. In the water-based polyurethane resin, at least one of the polyhydric alcohol, polyisocyanate, and the acrylic monomer includes a compound with a cyclic structure.

Disclosed are devices for determining an analyte concentration (e.g., glucose). The devices comprise a sensor configured to generate a signal associated with a concentration of an analyte and a sensing membrane located over the sensor. The sensing membrane comprises an enzyme layer, wherein the enzyme layer comprises an enzyme and a polymer comprising polyurethane and/or polyurea segments and one or more zwitterionic repeating units. The enzyme layer protects the enzyme and prevents it from leaching from the sensing membrane into a host or deactivating.

The present invention relates to processes for the manufacture of aqueous polyurethane dispersions that can be used as adhesives or coatings, are solvent free and have low VOC emissions, and are environmentally friendly. Also encompassed are the dispersions as such, compositions containing them and their use as coatings and adhesives.
