Castable Polyurethane Elastomers

I.R. Clemitson has worked in the chemical industry for 45 years. Predominantly, he worked in the polymer industry, both in production and development, concentrating on rubbers and polyurethanes. In 1999, he received a master’s degree from the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. His thesis was titled "The Influence of Polyurethane Chemistry on Erosive Wear." During this time, he was working at the R and D laboratory of Warman International in Sydney, Australia doing research into polyurethanes and other elastomers. In the concluding years of his full-time work, he was employed in the development and manufacture of polyurethane elastomers and foams. He also gave lectures at the local training institute and to industry on aspects of polyurethane and rubber technology. He has authored two books on polyurethane elastomers, namely Castable Polyurethane Elastomers and Polyurethane Casting Primer.
