Chemistry and Technology of Isocyanates is a comprehensive book on isocyanate chemistry and technology. It highlights the industrial applications of diisocyanates in the manufacture of flexible and rigid foams, elastomers, coatings and adhesives; discusses ionomers used in water-based coatings, polymer networks and biomedical polymers; and reviews current and future environmental issues, including toxicity and safe handling of isocyanates, recycling of isocyanate derived polymers and monomers derived from natural products.

Dr. Henri Ulrich is an expert in heterocumulene chemistry in general, in particular dealing with isocyanates and carbodiimides. He is also known for his important contributions to polymer chemistry, in particular from an industrial point of view. Coming from industry, his work is focused on synthetic chemistry and practical applications rather than theoretical considerations.
