Mechanical and weather resistance improvement of polyurethane thin films embedded with nanocomposites CeO2-SiO2

Polyurethane (PU) thin films quickly degrade under the presence of oxygen, vapor, temperature, and ultraviolet irradiation. Thus, efforts have been dedicated to improving the properties of PU films. This study presents a simple synthesis route to prepare PU embedded with CeO2-SiO2 nanocomposites (CS NCs).
