Abstract

The chapter gives an introduction to the polyurethane (PU) polymer, its synthesis and its structure. The chapter details the different methods of polyurethane synthesis, various starting materials and the necessary components required for PU synthesis. The chapter also deals with the phase separation process of polyurethane and the effect of phase separation on the morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties of PU. The application of spectral techniques such as FTIR and NMR in the structural determination of polyurethane are also covered.
