The invention relates to a composition containing: a composition A which contains at least one polyurethane having at least two terminal functions T of the following formula (I):

##STR00001##

and a composition B containing at least one amine,
and to the use thereof.

In an example, a process includes chemically reacting a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) material having a carboxylic-acid terminated side-chain with an azide material to form a polyisocyanate material.

Provided is a polyisocyanate mixture including: a triisocyanate compound (A) represented by Formula (I); and polyisocyanate (B) obtained from at least one diisocyanate selected from the group consisting of aliphatic diisocyanate, alicyclic diisocyanate, and aromatic diisocyanate. ##STR00001## (In Formula (1), a plurality of Y.sup.1's each independently represent a single bond or a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which may have an ester structure and/or an ether structure. A plurality of Y.sup.1's may be the same as or different from one another. R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms.)

Compositions and methods for the synthesis of polymer foam materials, wherein the polymer foam materials include expandable polymers, which can be applied to many dental applications, such as for example but not limited to one or more of a filler, a sealer, a filling, and a root canal. The expandable polymers can include a cross linkable material that expands upon crosslinking.

Biobased diisocyanates are derived from 3-petadecyl phenol, which is derived from Cardanol harvested from cashew nutshell liquid food waste. The biobased diisocyanates are of the formulas: ##STR00001##
wherein R is an alkyl chain C.sub.15H.sub.31 (n-pentadecyl); R.sub.1=CH.sub.3 or COCH.sub.3; and R.sub.2 is an alkylene of from about 1 to 18 carbon atoms.

The present invention generally relates to various polymer solid electrolyte materials suitable for various electrochemical devices and methods for making or using the same. Certain embodiments of the invention are generally directed to solid electrolytes having relatively high ionic conductivity and/or other mechanical or electrical properties, e.g., tensile strength or decomposition potential. Certain aspects include a polymer, a plasticizer, and an electrolyte salt. In some cases, the polymer may exhibit certain structures such as: ##STR00001##
where R.sub.1 can be one of the following groups: ##STR00002##
where n is an integer between 1 and 10000, m is a integer between 1 and 5000, and R.sub.2 to R.sub.6 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, phenyl, benzyl, acryl, epoxy ethyl, isocyanate, cyclic carbonate, lactone, lactam, and vinyl; and * indicates a point of attachment.

A method for preparing a biomass-based conductive hydrogel by 3D printing is provided. Firstly, a cellulose-based macromonomer, a rosin-based monomer, an acrylic acid monomer and an initiator are mixed in a certain proportion, stirred, and dissolved at 25-70° C. Then, diisocyanate in an amount of 5-10 wt % of a total mass of the monomers is added to the mixed solution and mixed uniformly to prepare a 3D printing photosensitive resin solution. An SLA light-curing 3D printer is used to print a hydrogel precursor 1 with a complex shape. Next, the hydrogel precursor 1 is heated to obtain a hydrogel precursor 2 with a dual-curing network. Finally, the obtained hydrogel precursor 2 is swelled in a 1-15 wt % alkaline solution at 5-60° C. for 0.1-10 hours to obtain the biomass-based conductive hydrogel.

A solid rocket propellant includes a binder that has hydroxyl-terminated polybudadiene (HTPB) with a curative that is selected from isocyanate-terminated polyether, isocyanate-terminated polysiloxane, or combinations thereof.
