CRC Press 2004 Intended for scientists and engineers in any field, this book explains what happens to a fluid when it passes through or otherwise comes in contact with a polyurethane chemistry, overviews how to design a polyurethane with specific properties, and introduces some environmental and biomedical applications of foams, coatings, membranes, and elastomers. Thomson (chief technical officer, Hydrophilix) identifies the three features on which the specialty chemical nature of polyurethane depends--reservoir capacity, ability to be colonized, and ligand attachment--and describes the removal of contaminants from water and air by both non-biological and biological methods. The closing chapters assess the biocompatibility and biodegradability of polyurethanes for the development of artificial organs.
