The polyurethane industry is experiencing remarkable growth, with polyurethanes finding widespread use in both consumer and industrial sectors. One notable development is the emergence of waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs), which offer significant advantages over conventional volatile organic compounds (VOCs) based polyurethanes. WPUs are considered environmentally friendly alternatives due to their ability to utilize sustainable raw materials, particularly polyols derived from vegetable oils.

Eco-Friendly Waterborne Polyurethanes: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications is a comprehensive resource that delves into the synthesis, application, and property enhancement of WPUs. It provides a thorough exploration of various eco-friendly materials and technologies employed in the synthesis of WPUs. The book offers an overview of WPUs and their applications in several advanced research areas, including coatings, adhesives, and composites. It also provides a fundamental understanding of synthetic processes and their chemistries, with a focus on specific applications.

Furthermore, the book elaborates on advanced approaches used to convert renewable resources into polymers, offering valuable insights for scientists, researchers, and students seeking to better understand the chemistry, technologies, and applications of sustainable polymers. Written for polymer chemists, materials scientists, and other researchers and industry professionals, this book serves as a comprehensive reference for readers interested in the development and application of environmentally friendly polymers.
