Synopsis

Handbook of Polyurethanes serves as the first source of information of useful polymers. This new book thoroughly covers the entire spectrum of polyurethanes - from current technology to buyer's information. Discussions include:

block and heteroblock systems

rubber plasticity

structure-property relations

microphase separation

catalysis of isocyanate reactions

synthesis of polyurethanes for thermoplastics, thermosets, and curable compositions by either heat or U.V. energy

biomedical applications of urethane elastomers

castables, sealants, and caulking compounds

flexible and semi-flexible foams

health and safety
This handbook compiles data from many sources, exhaustively illustrating the complex principles involved in polyurethane chemistry and technology. Handbook of Polyurethanes represents invaluable information for corporations, universities, or independent inventors.
