Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed the preparation of flexible or rigid polyurethane foams of improved physical and chemical properties by the chemical reaction of (A) an organic polyisocyanate and (B) the copolymer of (a) a polymerizable organic vinyl monomer having either one double bond or two double bonds in conjugation to each other and (b) a hydroxyl-containing comonomer consisting essentially of an unsaturated polyalkylene ether macromonomer which has an equivalent weight of about 100 to 3000 and which contains one to three hydroxyl groups and one copolymerizable unsaturation per molecule.
