To develop metal-polymer composite with high mechanical strength and flexibility for implants, commercially pure titanium (Ti) combined with a segmentated polyurethane (SPU) through a 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propylmethacrylate (g-MPS) as a coupling agent. Bonding strength between Ti and SPU was increased with increasing thickness of g-MPS layer. SPU cohesion failure were observed and bonding strength increased with increasing of SPU cohesion failure Area.
