A) polyurethanes
B) polyamides
C) polyesters
D) polycarbonates
E) none of the above

Diisocyanate

A chemical compound with two isocyanate groups (-NCO), used primarily in the production of polyurethane foams, elastomers, and coatings.

Polyurethanes

Versatile polymers used in a wide range of applications, formed by reacting a di- or polyisocyanate with a polyol.

  • Identify the connection between the structure of polymers and their categorization (such as polyester, polyamide, among others).
