The present disclosure is to provide a polishing pad which is capable of providing physical properties corresponding to various polishing purposes for various polishing objects through the subdivided structural design in a thickness direction, and of securing environmental friendliness by applying a recycled or recyclable material to at least some components, in relation to disposal after use, unlike the conventional polishing pad. Specifically, the polishing pad includes a polishing layer, wherein the polishing layer includes a polishing variable layer having a polishing surface; and a polishing constant layer disposed on a rear surface side of the polishing variable layer opposite to the polishing surface, and wherein the polishing constant layer includes a cured product of a composition having thermosetting polyurethane particles and a binder.

A bacterial cellulose-polyurethane composite material, preparation method, and use are described. The preparation method comprises: performing organic solvent exchange on bacterial cellulose microfibers, and obtaining bacterial cellulose microfiber composite substance A and composite substance B of different concentrations; under oil bath conditions, adding a polymer polyol and a diisocyanate compound and performing an addition polymerization reaction, obtaining, via the reaction, a bacterial cellulose composite polyurethane foam prepolymer; and subsequently performing curing and obtaining the bacterial cellulose-polyurethane composite material. By combining bacterial cellulose microfibers and polyurethane foam material, the mechanical properties of the composite material are significantly improved; the large amount of hydroxyl groups on the surfaces of the bacterial cellulose nanofibers effectively strengthens the hydrophilicity and water absorption capability of the composite material; and the favorable tissue affinity of bacterial cellulose can also improve the biocompatibility of polyurethane material.

Described are aqueous adhesive dispersions comprising dispersed polyurethanes and also ethoxylated fatty alcohols as emulsifiers. The polyurethanes are constructed from certain organic diisocyanates, dihydroxy compounds selected from certain polyester diols and polyether diols, and compounds having groups reactive toward isocyanate groups and having at least one ionic group. The adhesive dispersions can be used as laminating adhesives, for example for composite film lamination or for the lamination of rigid moldings with flexible decorative foils.

An aspect of the present invention relates to a composition, which is a composition for a magnetic recording medium and comprises an isocyanate compound in the form of an adduct of a polyhydroxyl compound having one or more aromatic carbon rings and three or more hydroxyl groups per molecule with a polyisocyanate having two or more isocyanate groups per molecule.
