Preface
Polyurethanes are versatile polymeric materials and are usually synthesized by isocyanate reactions with polyols. Due to the variety of isocyanates and polyols, particularly polyols, polyurethanes can be easily tailored for wide applications, such as rigid and flexible foams, coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. Considerable efforts have been recently devoted to developing bio-based substitutes for petroleum-based polyurethanes due to increasing concerns over the depletion of petroleum resources, environment, and sustainability. This book first introduces general production methods and characteristics of polyol
