Polyurethanes

This volume is dedicated to the Oil & Gas industry with polymeric solutions: designed to withstand extreme service temperature ranges and contact with harsh chemicals, oils and fluids, high performance elastomers and thermoplastics can be found in everything from subsea trees, well heads and umbilicals to piping and chemical processing plants.

Compiles nearly 400 fully assigned NMR spectra of approximately 300 polymers and polymer additives, representing all major clases of materials: polyolefins, styrenics, acrylates, methacrylates, vinyl polymers, elastomers, polyethers, polyesters, polymides, silicones, cellulosics, polyurethanes, plasticizers, and antioxidants.

This contribution book is a collection of reviews and original articles from eminent experts working in the multi- and interdisciplinary arena of biomaterials, ranging from their design to novel uses. From their personal experience, the readers can obtain a stimulating foresight on the potentialities of different synthetic and engineered biomaterials. The chapters illustrate different aspects of biomaterials science.

One of the most important commodity chemicals today, ammonia is extensively used in fertilizers, general chemical processing, explosives, solvents, nylons and other polymers, polyurethanes, foam rubber, aluminum etching, cleaning agents, pharmaceuticals, and more.

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.
