Inhaltsangabe

Polyurea: Synthesis, Properties, Composites, Production, and Applications is a comprehensive and practical guide to polyurea, a material used for its exceptional properties and performance in a range of high value industrial applications. Sections cover polyurea formulations and properties, comparing aromatic polyurea with aliphatic polyurea and computation modeling of properties for polyurea and polyurea composites. This is followed by in-depth coverage of synthesis, structure and production methods of polyurea, with the connections between production, performance and properties examined thoroughly. Other sections explain the preparation, characterization, modeling and applications of polyurea and polyurea composites with the required properties for specific advanced applications.

Finally, environmental issues, recycling and future potential of polyurea are considered. This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students in polymer science, chemistry, composite science, civil engineering, materials science and mechanical engineering, as well as R&D professionals, engineers and industrial scientists with an interest in polyurea-based materials for advanced applications.

Dr. Pooria Pasbakhsh holds degrees in Material Science and Engineering, Metallurgy and Material Selection, and a PhD in Polymer Composites. With over 17 years of international research and industrial experience, he is a multidisciplinary materials scientist and Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne. His work integrates chemistry, geology, and philosophy to develop sustainable bioplastics reinforced with Halloysite Nanotubes, creating smart nanocomposites with self-healing and antimicrobial properties. He has engineered active packaging solutions and transient materials, and currently leads circular economy projects on subsea infrastructure upcycling and carbon-sequestering hemp construction materials. Recognized among the “World’s Top 2% Scientists” since 2020, his impact spans materials, polymers, and chemistry.

Dr. Damith Mohotti is a Senior Lecturer and an Engineering Consultant in the School of Civil Engineering and IT at UNSW Canberra at the Australian Defence Force Academy. An expert in protective structures, advanced engineering simulations, structural engineering, and engineering materials, his current research interests include blast and impact loading on structures, development of smart materials, and high strain rate behavior of engineering materials. Dr. Mohotti was a key member of the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DMTC) Eureka Prize winning team for Outstanding Science in Safeguarding Australia in 2013. In addition to his academic experience and consultancy work in engineering and the defence sector, he has worked in the construction and consultation industries for many years holding different positions.

Khanisya Palaniandy is a PhD candidate in the School of Engineering at Monash University Malaysia. She has worked as a research assistant in the nanocomposites lab under an international industrial grant for a project on polyurea, and has also gained experience in mathematical modelling of colloidal particles and designing chemical production plants. Her current research focus is on polyurea nanocomposites for multifunctional coating applications.

Sheik Ambarine Banon Auckloo is a PhD candidate in the School of Engineering at Monash University Malaysia. She has worked on a research project on the design of a Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) system for production of polyurea, which led to a scholarship from Monash University and an international industrial grant for further research studies in polyurea manufacturing. Her research focuses on various manufacturing processes to produce polyurea, from design, manufacturing, and characterization, to application in real-world scenarios.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Polyurea: Synthesis, Properties, Composites, Production, and Applications is a comprehensive and practical guide to polyurea, a material used for its exceptional properties and performance in a range of high value industrial applications.

The book begins by introducing polyurea formulations and properties, comparing aromatic polyurea with aliphatic polyurea, and computation modelling of properties for polyurea and polyurea composites. This is followed by in-depth coverage of synthesis, structure, and production methods of polyurea, with the connections between production, performance and properties examined thoroughly, and detailed information on the synthesis and preparation of polyurea composites and nanocomposites. The fourth section of the book explains the preparation, characterization, modelling, and applications of polyurea and polyurea composites with the required properties for specific advanced applications. Finally, environmental issues, recycling, and future potential of polyurea are considered.

This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students in polymer science, chemistry, composite science, civil engineering, materials science, and mechanical engineering, as well as R&D professionals, engineers, and industrial scientists with an interest in polyurea-based materials for advanced applications.
