The polyurethane industry is among the fastest growing, with polyurethanes used in consumer as well as industrial sectors. Waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs) exhibit many advantages over conventional volatile organic compounds (VOCs) based polyurethanes and have emerged as an environmentally friendly alternative. WPUs offer an opportunity to use sustainable raw materials to produce environmentally sustainable polymers, particularly, polyols derived from vegetable oils. Eco-Friendly Waterborne Polyurethanes: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications provides state-of-the-art knowledge of the synthesis, application, and property enhancement of WPUs.
Covers various types of eco-friendly materials and technologies used to synthesize WPUs
Presents an overview and applications of WPUs in several advanced research areas
Provides fundamentals of synthetic processes and their chemistries for specific applications
Elaborates on advanced approaches used to convert renewable resources into polymers
Offers new direction to scientists, researchers, and students to better understand the chemistry, technologies, and applications
Written for polymer chemists, materials scientists, and other researchers and industry, this book serves as a comprehensive reference for readers interested in the development and application of sustainable polymers.
