Abstract
Nanocomposite polyurethane/sulfides (CdS, ZnS, CuS) were successfully prepared via a simulating biomineralization
method. Structural, morphological, and compositional studies of the materials were analyzed via Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Formation
mechanisms of MS nanoparticles in PU were studied. These methods provided a novel approach for the fabrication of
nanocomposite films that may be applied to MS (M = Cd, Zn, and Cu) polyurethane field-assisted biosensors, photocatalysis,
nonlinear optics, flat panel displays, and many other industrial processes..
