Polyurethane elastomers presently exist in three basic groups classified on the basis of their processing characteristics and identified as liquids, millable rubber and thermoplastic elastomers. Their basic chemical building blocks are identical and processing individuality is derived from molecular weight and terminal end-group functionality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
