Expandable thermoplastic polyurethane comprising blowing agent, wherein the Shore hardness of the thermoplastic polyurethane is from A 44 to A 84.

Foams based on thermoplastic polyurethanes

The present invention relates to a hybrid material comprising a matrix of polyurethane and foamed particles of thermoplastic polyurethane comprised therein and also a process for producing such hybrid materials and the use of these hybrid materials as bicycle saddles, upholstery and shoe soles.

Hybrid systems consisting of foamed thermoplastic elastomers and polyurethanes

The present invention relates to a process for the production of an expandable thermoplastic polymer comprising water as blowing agent, comprising at least the step (A) of storage of the thermoplastic polymer in water, so that water is absorbed by the thermoplastic polymer, in order to obtain an expandable thermoplastic polymer, to expandable thermoplastic polymer, obtainable via the process, to a corresponding expanded thermoplastic polymer, to a process for the production of a foam via foaming and fusion of the expanded thermoplastic polymer, and also to a foam, obtainable via said process.

Water as a propellant for thermoplastics

A polymer composition comprising at least one thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with a Vicat softening point (in accordance with ISO 306/A50) below 80&#xb0; C. and from 5 to 95% by weight of at least one polymer obtainable via free-radical polymerization, based on the entirety of TPU and of the polymer obtainable via free-radical polymerization, where the polymer obtainable via free-radical polymerization has been bonded in the form of comb polymer, graft polymer, or copolymer to the TPU, is particularly suitable for injection-molding applications.

Polyurethane-based polymer composition

Expandable-polymer-particle material comprising at least one thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with Vicat softening point (in accordance with ISO 306/ASO) below 80&#xb0; C. and from 5 to 95% by weight of at least one polymer obtainable via free-radical polymerization, based on the entirety of TPU and of the polymer obtainable via free-radical polymerization, where the polymer obtainable via free-radical polymerization has been bonded to the TPU in a manner that gives a comb polymer, graft polymer, or copolymer, is suitable for the production of moldings, in particular for use as insulation material.
