Nanocomposites based on polyurethanes and carbon nanoparticles: preparation, properties and application

Abstract

The review reports on methods for the formation of polyurethane nanocomposites containing fullerene C₆₀, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene-like structures, and nanodiamonds which show advanced performance as compared with the parent polymers. Properties and possible fields of application of the nanocomposites are described. Special attention is paid to research of relationships between structural changes in a polymer matrix under the influence of nanomodifier and composite properties.
