ONLINE EXCLUSIVE: A Novel Approach to the Synthesis of Aromatic and Aliphatic Isocyanates
Aromatic, as well as aliphatic di- and poly-, isocyanates are used in the production of polyurethane foams, elastomers, fibres, adhesives and coatings. The most widespread application outlets are found in industries such as construction, furniture, automotive, refrigeration and footwear.
A very good insight on polyurethane chemistry and technology is given in References 1-2; Reference 3 explores the chemistry of isocyanates. Additional publications not cited in this article can be traced in the relevant literature.
