The Versatility of Medical Thermoplastic Urethanes

Thermoplastic urethanes (TPUs) fall within a class of materials known as thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).  Yet, TPUs comprise a class of materials unto themselves due to versatility in the polymer chemistry.  As such, there are many types of medical TPUs, with distinctly different properties. TPUs are copolymers of hard and soft segmented molecular chains that exhibit […]
