Article Abstract
The investigation of porous materials is pivotal to the advancement of science and technology. Polyurethane, a versatile and high-performance material, holds extensive application potential across various industries. This exceptional polymer exhibits unique chemical structures and superior performance characteristics, earning it the moniker of "Transformers" in the material world. Porous materials are characterized by their pore structure, which confers advantages such as high porosity, large specific surface area, low thermal conductivity, and lightweight properties. Porous polyurethane materials integrate the attributes of polyurethane with a porous architecture, demonstrating significant potential for diverse applications. This article first delineates the structure and properties of porous polyurethane materials, followed by an overview of synthesis methods including solution casting, sacrificial templating, phase separation, freeze drying, gas foaming method, electrospinning, and 3D printing method. This paper highlights the research status of on porous polyurethane materials in rigid and flexible foams, smart temperature-controlled textiles, biomedicine, electrochemistry, and oil-water separation, as well as electromagnetic shielding and piezoresistive sensors. Finally, this article addresses the challenges encountered in the preparation and application of porous polyurethane materials and provides insights into prospective development trends.

Most research on hyperspectral camouflage focuses on green vegetation, lacking hyperspectral camouflage for complex environments and infrared camouflage. This study prepared a coating using Alizarin Green (AG), Acid Yellow (AY), magnesium‑aluminum layered double hydroxides (MgAl LDHs), and lithium chloride (LiCl). The coating exhibits high color consistency with dark green, medium green, yellow green, and yellow leaves.

In this study, a shape-changeable 3D scaffold with photothermal effects was developed to address the clinical challenges of complex bone defects. The multifunctional construct was fabricated via in situ polymerization combined with a gas foaming technique, creating hierarchical porous architectures that mimic the native bone extracellular matrix. By incorporating polydopamine (PDA)-modified amorphous calcium phosphate (CA) into poly(propylene glycol) (PPG)- and poly(ԑ-caprolactone) (PCL)-based polyurethane (PU).

Herein, we report the development of three-dimensional (3D)-printed polyurethane (PU) composite materials reinforced with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and stabilised surface functionalization using the silane coupling agent 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPM). By employing digital light processing (DLP) technology, a series of porous PU scaffolds containing different concentrations of ZnO (0, 1, and 2 wt%) were successfully fabricated. The primary objective was to enhance the mechanical integrity and environmental durability of PU-based components, particularly under ultraviolet (UV) exposure and thermal aging.

The development of highly sensitive, wide linear-range flexible pressure sensors is crucial for practical applications in human-computer interaction, physiological signal detection, and motion monitoring. However, traditional flexible pressure sensors often suffer from limited compressibility in their structural design, resulting in rapid saturation of the detection range and low sensitivity, which hinder their commercial viability. In this study, we propose a straightforward electrospinning method to fabricate a thermoplastic polyurethane/carboxyl-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube/polydimethylsiloxane (TPU/c-MWCNTs/PDMS) piezoresistive sensor featuring a gradient porous structure.

Incorporation of nanofillers into carbon foam (CF) is an amenable process to enhance its biological properties, which otherwise is bioinert. In the present study, CF-reinforced graphene oxide (CFGO) was considered to study the effects of GO on the structure, bioactivity, and biocompatibility using gingival mesenchymal stem cells (gMSCs) as the cellular source. CF was prepared by carbonization of polyurethane (PU) foam, and for the synthesis of GO-incorporated PU foam, GO was dispersed in isocyanate, one of the constituents of PU foam.
