Polyurethane Foam Sorbents in Separation Science

Purpose of the Book

The purpose of this book is to present in a monographic and systematised form a review of all the literature devoted to polyurethane-based polymeric sorbents in separation chemistry.

Primary Types of Sorbents

The primary types of sorbents dealt with are polyurethane foams and open-pore polyurethanes. The structure of the monograph follows this dichotomy.

Intended Impact

A book of this nature should stimulate thinking and incite its reader to consult the original literature. It will, however, not make such a consultation superfluous.

Research Background

A fair amount of the results described in this monograph constitute the main activity of investigation which took place in the authors laboratories during the past decade.
