Polyurea: Synthesis, Properties, Composites, Production, and Applications

Polyurea: Synthesis, Properties, Composites, Production, and Applications is a comprehensive and practical guide to polyurea, a material used for its exceptional properties and performance in a range of high value industrial applications. The book begins by introducing polyurea formulations and properties, comparing aromatic polyurea with aliphatic polyurea, and computation modelling of properties for polyurea and polyurea composites. This is followed by in-depth coverage of synthesis, structure, and production methods of polyurea, with the connections between production, performance and properties examined thoroughly, and detailed information on the synthesis and preparation of polyurea composites and nanocomposites. The fourth section of the book explains the preparation, characterization, modelling, and applications of polyurea and polyurea composites with the required properties for specific advanced applications. Finally, environmental issues, recycling, and future potential of polyurea are considered. This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students in polymer science, chemistry, composite science, civil engineering, materials science, and mechanical engineering, as well as R&D professionals, engineers, and industrial scientists with an interest in polyurea-based materials for advanced applications.
