Polyurethane and Related Foams: Chemistry and Technology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781587161599)

This book offers a clear and concise guide to recent innovations, methods, and best practices that help the foam industry meet higher quality, health, and environmental standards. Written by the late Dr. Kaneyoshi Ashida, a renowned pioneer of polyisocyanurate (PIR) foams, this book chronicles the science and technology of preparation and processing methods for PIR-based foams. It highlights the relationship between molecular design and enhanced physical properties; presents mechanisms for chemical modification and foaming reactions for applications, such as flexible foams and coatings; and draws attention to novel raw materials, alternative blowing agents, and new processing methods.
