In this study polyurethane (PUR)-nanoclay composites were synthesized using methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, polyol, and hectorite clay. The weight percentage of hectorite clay was varied at three different levels to study its effect on the properties of the thermoplastic polyurethane nanocomposite. The nanocomposite polyurethane foam was synthesized in a 2-step reaction process. The first step involved the addition and dispersion of nanoclay into the isocyanate. The mixture was then mixed with the polyol, and the foam was cast in a preheated closed mold. The PUR-nanocomposite foams were analyzed for cell structure, physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. The composite foam showed significant increase in tensile and flexural strengths, abrasion resistance, and thermal properties.

Thermoplastic natural rubber based on epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) blend was prepared via dynamic vulcanization process. The main objective is to improve thermal properties of the blends. Two types of antioxidant: phenolic antioxidant (Wingstay®L) and N-(1,3-dimethzlbutyl)-N-Phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) were used to improve oxidative degradation of the blends. It was found that thermal properties in term of thermal elastic properties and thermal stability can be improved by adding the antioxidants and 6PPD gave the blend with the highest thermal properties. These were measured based on temperature scanning stress relaxation (TSSR) technique. Incorporation of ENR into the TPU caused reduction of the hardness, improved thermal properties, elasticity and oil resistance compared to the neat TPU. These results indicated that the novel high performance TPNRs with high elasticity can be prepared.
