Polyurethanes: Chemistry, Technology and Applications

Polyurethanes: Chemistry, Technology and Applications - Zygmunt Wirpsza

This book provides a comprehensive review of polyurethanes, looking at the synthesis of raw materials, manufacturing technology and processing. The author also includes a detailed description of the properties and applications, and coverage of the latest research and analytical methods.
This very wide-ranging book is based on the author's considerable experience (over twenty years in the field). The approach is a careful blend of theory and practice and includes the problems of obtaining polymers of the polyurethane type by polycondensation of oligoethercarbamates with formaldehyde, without the use of isocyanates.
Polyurethanes are a vitally important group of polymers used in a large number of industries, including automotive, furniture, building, clothing, shoes and coatings, and this concise and informative book will be a welcome source of reference to a wide range of readers.
Research and development in industry and academia, also production, including automotive, furniture, building, clothing and shoes, isolation coatings, packaging ad bioengineering products, Polymer scientists and technologists.
