Homo‐ and copolymers derived from mono‐ and diisocyanates are treated in this article. Also, addition, condensation, and addition/condensation polymers derived from diisocyanates are included. Of commercial interest are segmented block copolyamide elastomers produced from methylene di‐
p
‐phenylene isocyanate (MDI) and macrodicarboxylic acids and dicarboxylic acids. This reaction polymerization is conducted in a vented extruder or in solution. Also, engineering plastics are obtained from diisocyanates and dicarboxylic acids. Poly(amide imides) and poly(imides) are produced from MDI and TDI (toluene diisocyanate) and trimellitic acid anhydride and isophthalic acid and dianhydrides, respectively. Heterocyclic polymers with useful high temperature properties made from MDI and suitable monomers by a polyaddition/condensation reaction are also included.
