Abstract

chemolysis or physical means - exploiting covalent adaptable network features - and applications of NIPU foams are also discussed. For each aspect, a comparative analysis between conventional PU and NIPU highlights the remaining technological, environmental and economic challenges that must be addressed to achieve competitive, scalable, and sustainable NIPU foams.
