Description - Polyurethanes by Mark F. Sonnenschein
A complete overview of a key plastic
One of the most versatile polymer materials, polyurethanes have
a unique chemical nature that allows for shaping and molding to fit
all sorts of consumer and industrial products ? seat
cushions, carpets, insulation, coatings, and refrigerators to name
a few. Despite its popular uses, polyurethane science has only
relatively recently achieved appreciation for the richness of its
expression as a polymer family. This book provides a thorough
presentation of polyurethane science, technology markets and trend
analysis based on recent patents. Although it does not
provide ultimate detail (such as explicit information typically in
patents), the book has a flow and continuity that allows readers to
find all the background necessary to understand any other more
detailed polyurethane information found elsewhere.
Anyone involved in the polymer and plastics industry will find
this book a key resource with features that include:
An in-depth summary of the current state of polyurethane
research and knowledge
Discussion of the applications, manufacture, and markets for
polyurethanes
Analytical methods, reaction mechanisms, morphology,
theoretical techniques, and the selection of chain extenders
Polyurethane flexible and rigid foams, elastomers, coatings,
adhesives, and medical applications
In-depth coverage of governmental regulations,
non-isocyanate/non-phosgene routes to polyurethane structure, and
industrial routes to environmental, health, and safety risk
mitigation
