Everything about Polyurethanes

By Pourya Zarshenas, Mehran Amir Beigi, Elaheh Haghbin

Polyurethanes (PUs) are a special group of polymeric materials that are in many ways different from most of the other plastic types. They can be incorporated into many different items, such as paints, liquid coatings, elastomers, insulators, elastic fibers, foams, integral skins, etc. Several forms in which PUs appear today are mere improvements in the invention of the German professor (Professor Dr Otto Bayer) and his co-workers.1 Fig. 1 illustrates the most important types of PUs and some common examples of their uses. The invention of the diisocyanate polyaddition technique by these researchers led to the creation of the PU industry in 1937, with PU produced through the reaction between diisocyanate and polyester diol.
