Polyisocyanate

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009151",
  "term": "Polyisocyanate",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer prepared from an isocyanate monomer, named by its source rather than its structure. Depending on conditions, an isocyanate can end up in different structural classes: trimerization gives polyisocyanurates, loss of carbon dioxide gives polycarbodiimides, water gives polyureas and diols give polycarbamates. In industry the same word also names low-molar-mass compounds carrying several isocyanate groups.",
