Experience over a three year period with polytetrafluoroethylene (Proplast) is reported together with early results on chlorinated polyethylene which is claimed to have advantages over other available materials. The sunlight stability of facial prostheses presents an obvious problem and the behaviour of polyurethanes in this respect has been examined. Experimental reconstructive prostheses have involved for example silicone rubber in the repair of nasal septal perforation and ear reconstruction and polytetrafluoroethylene in frontal sinus reconstruction. Breast reconstruction and augmentation with silicone rubber and polyurethanes, tissue reaction to polyurethane coated implants, and the use of polyethylene in this type of surgery have been discussed. A useful review on silicone fluids (which are for example iiyected to improve scars ) has appeared. 

Figure 4.18. Schematic sketching the experimental procedure used in 3D mesoscale self-assembly. Molding of a polyurethane prepolymer in a PDMS master generated polyhedra. Lubricant was added to the polyhedra in a water-filled Morton flask the use of liquid solder as a lubricant required the covering of selected faces with solder-coated copper tape. Axial rotation of the flask provided the agitation needed to cause collisions between liquid-coated pieces. The schematic depicts the formation and self-...

Sudha et al. (2008) and Dinesh Karthik et al. (2009) reported on the removal of heavy metal cadmium and chrominm from industrial wastewater using chitosan-coated coconut charcoal and chitosan impregnated polyurethane foam, respectively. Adsorption and determination of metal ions such as zinc (11) and vanadium (II) onto chitosan from seawater have been studied (Muzzarelli et al. 1970, Muzzarelli and Sipos 1971, Muzzarelli and Rocchetti 1974). Adsorption of strontium (II), cobalt (11), zinc (11), and iron (III) on chitosan from sodium chloride solution have been reported (Nishimura et al. 1995). Adsorption behavior of Cu (II) (Minamisawa et al. 1996, Wu et al. 2000) and cobalt (11) (Minamisawa et al. 1999) were investigated. The amount of cadmium removed by chitin increases with increase of these parameters at a specific time. The application to experimental results of the Langmuir and Freundlich models shows that the Langmuir model gives a better correlation coefficient.
