Advances in urethane science (Worldwide 4/2001-357)
Polyurethanes continue to be one of the most versatile of all polymers, with applications in foams, elastomers, coatings,
sealants, adhesives, paints,
textiles, and films. This new volume presents some of the major advances in polyurethanes,
from materials and research,
to processing and applications. It provides information
on state-of-the-art developments in the field of urethane
science. Reports include studies on foams (additives, vacuum panel applications, blowing and processing), elastomers, adhesion behavior and
new urethane raw materials.
Extensively illustrated and referenced, the book will be invaluable to researchers and anyone involved with the production and use of urethanes.
Chapters cover stabilizing additives for polyurethane foams,
recent developments in polymer processing, HER materials for polyurethane applications, and the synthesis and
characterization of aqueous
hybrid polyurethane-urea-acrylic/styrene polymer dispersion. The book retails at US
$210.
