Abstract:The unsurpassed versatility of polyurethanes is remarkably evident in the areas of two-dimensional applications. Polyurethanes are tailor-made for the wide range of rigid surface coatings, e.g., for metal, concrete and wood; for flexible surface coatings, e.g., for textile substrates and leather; and for a wide variety of adhesives. Polyurethanes give unexcelled performance in almost all of these applications. In many cases this superiority is achieved by the fact that polyurethanes are generally reactive proc… Show more
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.
