Looking beyond the traditional applications of polyurethanes (PUR),
Polyurethanes as Specialty Chemicals presents a different approach
to polyurethane chemistry by examining a range of new products and
new research for both environmental and medical applications. This
book is also the first in its field to provide useful design tools
for product designers to customize the foam surface. The author
examines extraction methods and biodegradability of polyurethanes
for removing pollutants from air and groundwater and for
sanitation/wastewater treatment. Thomson also explores the behavior
of polyurethanes in a biological environment, covering a broad
spectrum of applications that includes artificial organs, chelating
agents for pharmaceuticals, and delivery systems for skin care
products and cosmetics. The in-depth treatment of biochemical
processes and cellular interaction includes tissue response, cell
adhesion, 3D cell scaffolding for cell propagation, the
immobilization of enzymes, and the production of proteins. Other
topics of interest include agricultural applications and the use of
PUR as an analytical/diagnostic system for testing toxicity without
the use of animals. Destined to become indispensable in its field,
Polyurethanes as Specialty Chemicals explores conventional PUR and
its composites - emphasizing formulations, reticulated foams and
hydrophilics - as versatile structures that can be used for
specific design objectives in environmental and medical
applications.
