Polyurethane Polymers: Blends and Interpenetrating networks (IPNs) deals with almost all aspects of blends and IPNs formed by polyurethane. Polyurethane mainly forms IPNs with many polymers. The thermal, mechanical, morphological and viscoelastic properties of the blends and IPNs are discussed in this book. Also major applications related to these blends and IPNs are mentioned.

• Provides an elaborate coverage of the chemistry of polyurethane, its synthesis and properties
• Includes available characterization techniques
• Relates types of polyurethanes to their potential properties
• Discusses blends options
