Overview

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.

Author Information

Prof. Pooria’s educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in Material Science and Engineering- Ceramics, a master’s degree in Metallurgy and Material Selection, and a Ph.D. in Polymer Composites. With over 17 years of research, academic and industrial experience he has worked on numerous industrial, government-funded and research projects in various countries such as Australia, Malaysia, Italy, UK, Denmark, Singapore and Iran in the areas of polymers, fibers, coatings, minerals, nanomaterials, biomedical, fuel cells, building materials and composites. Throughout his careers, he held positions as an Associate Professor at Monash University Malaysia, postdoctoral researcher at the University of Adelaide and Technical Sales Specialist at Anton Paar Australia. Additionally, he has been recognized as one of the “World’s Top 2% Scientists” since 2020 for his research impact in the categories of “Materials,” “Polymers,” and “Chemistry” according to data released by Stanford University and Elsevier. 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.
