A series of thermoplastic polyurethane copolymers were prepared from polypropyleneglycol(PPG, MW 3000), 1,4-butanediol, Isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI) and dibutyltin dilaurate(BBT) as catalyst. Studies have been made on the effects of molar ratio of isocyanate /polyol/chain extender on the properties such as tensile and thermal properties. By varying the ration of hard to soft segments, TPU ranging from soft elastomeric polymer to relatively hard elastoplastics and be obtained. The storage modulus and glass transition temperature of TPU increased with increasing the hard segment content.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect for running shoes with resilience of midsole on biomechanical properties. Methods : 10 healthy males who had no history of injury in the lower extremity with an average age of 26.5 year(SD=1.84), height of 172.22 cm(SD=4.44) and weight of 67.51 kg(SD=6.17) participated in this study. All subjects ran on the treadmill wearing three different running shoes. Foot pressure data was collected using Pedar-X system(Novel Gmbh, Germany) operating at 100 Hz. Surface EMG signals for biceps femoris, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, medial lateralis, tibialis anterior, medial gastrocnemius, soleus and peroneus longus were acquired at 1000 Hz using Bignoli 8 System(Delsys Inc., USA). To normalize the difference of the magnitude of muscle contractions, it was expressed as a percentage relative to the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). The impact resilience of the midsole data was collected using Fastcam SA5 system(Photron Inc., USA). Collected data was analyzed using One-way ANOVA in order to investigate the effects of each running shoes. Results : TPU midsole was significantly wider in contact area than EVA, TPE midsole in midfoot and higher in EMG activity than EVA midsole at biceps femoris. TPE midsole was significantly wider in contact area than EVA midsole in rearfoot and higher in peak pressure than EVA midsole in forefoot. EVA midsole was significantly higher in EMG activity than TPU midsole at tibia anterior. In medial resilience of midsoles, TPE midsole was significantly higher than EVA, TPU midsole. Conclusion : TPU midsole can reduce the load on the midfoot effectively and activate tibialis anterior, biceps femoris to give help to running.

One way of appling 3D printing to garments is through the combination of 3D polymer filaments in textile fabrics. it is essential to understand the interface between the polymer and the 3D composite fabric in order to enhance the adhesion strength between the polymers and the peeling strength between the fabric and the polymer. In this study, the adhesion of composite printed specimens using a combination of fabric and polymers for 3D printing was investigated, and also the change in adhesion was investigated after the composite fabric printed with polymers was subjected to constant pressure. Through this process, the aims to help develop and utilize 3D printing textures by providing basic data to enhance durability of 3D printing composite fabrics. The measure of the peeling strength of the composite fabric prepared by printing on a fabric using PLA, TPU, Nylon polymer was obtained as follows; TPU polymer for 3D printing showed significantly higher peel strength than polymers of composite fabric using PLA and Nylon polymer. In the case of TPU polymer, the adhesive was crosslinked because of the reaction between polyurethane and water on the surface of the fabric, thus increasing the adhesion. It could be observed that the adhesion between the polymer and the fiber is determined more by the mechanical effect rather than by its chemical composition. To achieve efficient bonding of the fibers, it is possible to modify the fiber surface mechanically and chemically, and consider the deposition process in terms of temperature, pressure and build density.

This study aims to develop three dimensional (3D) yoga knee protectors that provide excellent wearing comfort. Three types of pads were modeled using 3D human data: two types of 3.0-cm-wide pads separated into top and bottom with thicknesses of 0.1 cm (TPU-1: A) and 0.2 cm (TPU-2: B); and one type with three 0.2-cm-thick separated panels (TPU-S: C). Based on these models, five knee protectors were developed using 3D patterning and 3D printing. Types A, B, and C were integrated with 0.6-cm neoprene pads. Type D was fabricated with a donut-shaped 0.6-cm neoprene pad inserted, while Type E consisted of two discrete 0.6-cm neoprene pads embedded in the protector's upper and lower sides. Wearing comfort was evaluated in terms of fit, pressure, and cushioning while in a standing and kneeling position and while in motion. The findings suggest that the fabricated knee protectors were evaluated as comfortable to the individuals with knee pain, rather than those without knee pain. The individuals with knee pain preferred the soft pads made of neoprene positioned around the knee (NEO-S: E), while those without knee pain favored the cushioned pads with a pattern structure maintained by thin 3D-printed pads (TPU-1: A).

Sulfuric acid group을 도입하여 열가소성 폴리우레탄을 제조하였으며, sulfuric acid의 함량을 변경하여 acid 함량에 따른 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 그리고 carboxylic acid를 도입한 폴리우레탄을 제조하여 비교 분석했다. 연구 결과 acid group을 도입함으로써 인장강도, 마모 등 기계적 물성 및 그립 특성이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, Acid 함량별로 물성을 측정한 결과, 일정한 함량까지 기계적 물성은 증가하며 일정 함량 이상에서는 기계적 물성이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Wet slip의 경우 또한 acid group 도입에 의해 친수성이 증가함으로 acid 함량이 증가할수록 wet slip은 증가 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Carboxylic acid를 도입한 폴리우레탄과 비교 결과, 수소결합력이 약해 기계적 물성은 낮게 나타났으나 rebounding 특성은 더 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 수면 자세에 따라 옆으로 누웠을 때와 뒤로 누웠을 때 베개 높이를 자동적으로 조절할 수 있는 베개를 전산해석과 3D 프린팅을 통하여 제작하였다. 누웠을 때의 자세 차이에 대한 머리 무게를 측정한 결과 무게 차이는 약 1.2 kg 정도였으며, 이 때 베개 높이 차이를 약 1.0 cm ~ 1.5 cm 나도록 설계하였다. 복잡한 기계적인 기구 구동 대신에 TPU 재질의 아치 형 구조물을 기본으로 하였다. 전산해석을 통하여 직렬조합을 통한 최적모델을 설정하였고 실험과 비교하여 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 최종 제작된 제품은 옆으로 누웠을 때와 뒤로 누웠을 때의 높이 차이가 약 2 cm로 나타났으며 사용감은 좋은 것으로 평가되었다.

Bio-based polyester polyol was synthesized via esterification between azelaic acid and isosorbide. After esterification, bio-based polyurethanes were synthesized using polyester polyol, 1,3-propanediol as the chain extender, and 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, in mixing ratios of 1:1:1.5, 1:1:1.8, 1:1:2, and 1:1:2.3. The bio TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) samples were characterized by using FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), TGA (Thermal Gravimetric Analysis), DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), and GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography). The mechanical properties (tensile stress and hardness) were obtained by using UTM, a Shore A tester, and a Taber abrasion tester. The viscoelastic properties were tested by an Rubber Processing Analyzer in dynamic strain sweep and dynamic frequency test modes. The chemical resistance was tested with methanol by using the swelling test method. Based on these results, the bio TPU synthesized with the ratio of 1:1:2.3, referred to as TPU 4, showed the highest thermal decomposition temperature, the largest molecular weight, and most compact matrix structure due to the highest ratio of the hard segment in the molecular structure. It also presented the highest tensile strength, the largest elongation, and the best viscoelastic properties among the different bio TPUs synthesized herein.

This study reports an optimization of a 3D printed wrist brace (WB) for various tilting angles (0°, 45°, 90°) of the re-entrant (RE) pattern and thickness (2 mm, 4 mm) using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filaments and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) filaments. The actual printing time, weight, Poisson's ratio, and tensile property of the manufactured samples were analyzed. The results confirmed that the actual printing time and weight increased with increasing thickness, regardless of the filament type. All tilting angles of the WB showed a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR), the largest of which appeared at 90°. The results of the tensile property analysis showed that a 90° tilting angle also had the largest value of elongation and stress. From these results, we conclude that the most suitable wrist brace is one in which the actual printing time is low, the weight is minimized to a thickness of 2 mm, and the tilting angle of the RE pattern is 90° for good shock absorption. The choice of filaments may be decided upon according to the user's preference, since the TPU is stiff and the TPE is elastic.
