Materials and methods

Results and discussion

Transformation products:
not measured
Remarks:
Upon contact with water the diisocyanate groups react by forming amines and CO2. The amines formed react further with unreacted diisocyanate groups of the diisocyanate homopolymer resulting in oligo-and subsequently polyurea components.
