Article Abstract
Waterborne polyurethane has been proven to be an ideal additive for the preparation of hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties. This work reports that a satisfactory adhesion of acrylamide hydrogels can be obtained by introducing a large amount of waterborne polyurethane into system. A series of polyurethane hydrogels was prepared by using one-pot method with acrylamide monomer and 2-hydroxymethyl methacrylate end-modified waterborne polyurethane emulsion. The hydrogels exhibit good strength (greater than 30 KPa), wide range of adjustable strain (200%-800%), and excellent compression fatigue resistance. The performance improvement is attributed to the fact that the polyurethane emulsion containing double bonds provides chemical crosslinking and forms polyurethane microregions due to hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions. The hydrogel shows extensive and repeatable adhesion on diverse substrates. This simple preparation method through polyurethane crosslinked hydrogels is expected to become a low-cost and efficient preparation strategy for hydrogel adhesives.

Flexible conductive fibers have been widely applied in wearable flexible sensing. However, exposed wearable flexible sensors based on liquid metal (LM) are prone to abrasion and significant conductivity degradation. This study presented a high-sensitivity LM conductive fiber with integration of strain sensing, electrical heating, and thermochromic capabilities, which was fabricated by coating eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) onto spandex fibers modified with waterborne polyurethane (WPU), followed by thermal curing to form a protective polyurethane sheath.

To address the escalating industrial demands for high-performance polymers with both superior strength and toughness, a unique boronic acid imine cage (BIC) compound containing a Schiff-base structure is innovatively synthesized and covalently incorporated into the molecular chains of waterborne polyurethanes to obtain the elastomers (DWPU-BIC-x) with outstanding strength, toughness, tear resistance, and fatigue resistance. In-depth mechanism analysis reveals that BIC functions as a "structural hub", leveraging its rigid cage-like geometry and high-density interaction sites (aromatic rings for π-π stacking and nitrogen atoms for hydrogen bonding) to modulate molecular chain movement and intermolecular forces, thereby facilitating efficient energy dissipation under mechanical stress. The optimized material achieves an outstanding strength (53.

This study presents a novel, organic solvent-free electrospinning approach to fabricate waterborne polyurethane (WPU)-based nanofiber membranes, enhanced by polyacrylamide (PAM) as a dual-functional additive. By leveraging hydrogen bonding interactions between the -COO, -NHCOO- groups in WPU and the -CONH groups in PAM, the resulting composite achieved stable electrospinning, improved fiber morphology, and a significantly higher water contact angle (86.

The lightweight, wearable, comfortable, and high-performance sensors are crucial for future wearable electronics to facilitate the real-time monitoring of human health. In this paper, the textile-based flexible dry sensor is fabricated by coating waterborne polyurethane (WPU) enhanced poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) onto the commercial polyester fabric (PF). The WPU, containing both hard and soft segments, was synthesized by using the three-step acetaldehyde method.
