POLYURETHANE MATERIALS PRODUCED WITH THE USE OF NATURAL RAW MATERIALS - JOANNA RYSZKOWSKA

Discover the fascinating world of polyurethane materials, created with respect for nature! This book is a compendium of knowledge about the use of renewable raw materials in the production of modern composites. Dive into detailed analyses and studies on biopolyols and fillers from the agri-food industry, which are revolutionizing materials engineering. An ideal read for scientists, engineers and all enthusiasts of sustainable development.

• Detailed research on the use of natural raw materials
• Production technologies of polyurethane materials from renewable raw materials
• Analysis of the relationships between biopolyols and material properties
• Description of the reaction mechanisms in the processing of polyurethane foams
• Focus on flexible foams, including viscoelastic foams
• Cooperation with industry in research and development
• Practical applications in various industries

In the presented monograph, the author, Joanna Ryszkowska, summarizes the results of research conducted in cooperation with industry, concerning the applications of biopolyols and fillers obtained from by-products of the agri-food industry, for the production of polyurethane elastomers and various groups of polyurethane foams. The development of production technologies for polyurethane materials using renewable raw materials requires knowledge of the relationships between the type of biopolyols and natural fillers used, and their structure and properties. Therefore, the authors of the monograph devoted much attention to the presentation of the reaction mechanisms occurring in the processing of polyurethane foams, focusing on the description of flexible foams, including viscoelastic foams.

The book is a valuable source of knowledge for students, doctoral students and materials engineers who want to explore the secrets of modern polyurethane material production technologies. Thanks to detailed descriptions and analyses, the reader gains a comprehensive understanding of the processes occurring during the production of these advanced composites. In addition, the presented research results can be an inspiration for further innovations in the field of materials science.

The Publishing House of the Warsaw University of Technology, known for high-level scientific publications, presents you with a monograph that will certainly satisfy the curiosity of even the most demanding readers. The format of 17.6x25 cm and the paperback cover make reading comfortable and enjoyable. Dive into the world of science and discover the potential of the materials of the future!
