molecular weight

The article presents the results of a study of the influence of the molecular weight of polyvinylpyrrolidone on the properties of two-layer hydrogel/polycaproamide membranes. Composite membranes are obtained by the developed method, which consists in the formation of hydrogel membranes with subsequent deposition from a solution into their outer surface of a reinforcing layer based on polyamide modified with polyvinylpyrrolidone.

The influence of the main structural parameters (molecular weight and hard blocks content) as well as methods of filling linear block-polyurethanes and their compositions on their strength, deformation, rheological and tribotechnical characteristics has been studied. A complex approach to produce polyurethane compositions of improved wear resistance has been suggested.
