SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Polyurethanes form a large family of polymeric materials with an enormous diversity of chemical compositions and properties The wide range of properties that can be achieved with polyurethane chemistry has attracted the attention of developers of biomedical devices who see promise in the mechanical flexibility of these materials combined with their high tear strength.
