Handbook of Polyurethanes, Polyureas, and Polyisocyanurates

Handbook of Polyurethanes, Polyureas, and Polyisocyanurates

Focuses on the raw materials required for polyurethane synthesis, including isocyanates and polyols.

Discusses amines, solvents, catalysts, and additives that enhance the synthesis process, including prepolymers.

Outlines different methods of synthesis, examining the mechanisms of catalysis, factors affecting reaction rates, and potential side reactions that can occur during polymerization.

Highlights the structures of linear and crosslinked polyurethanes, including how these configurations influence the physical and chemical properties of the final products.
