==Isocyanate-Functional Polymer Components and Polyurethane Articles Formed From Recycled Polyurethane Articles and Associated Methods for Forming Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18748720 titled 'Isocyanate-Functional Polymer Components and Polyurethane Articles Formed From Recycled Polyurethane Articles and Associated Methods for Forming Same

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application describes a method of forming an isocyanate-functional polymer component using recycled polyurethane and isocyanate components, which can be used to create polyurethane or polyurethane foam articles.

* Recycled polyurethane and a first isocyanate component are mixed to form a first mixture.
* The mixture is heated to transform the recycled polyurethane into a liquid form and react it with the isocyanate component.
* The resulting polymer component has an isocyanate-functional group content greater than zero but less than the isocyanate component.
* The polymer component can be used to create polyurethane or polyurethane foam articles by reacting it with a second isocyanate component and an isocyanate-reactive component.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Recycling of polyurethane materials for sustainable production.
* Transformation of recycled polyurethane into a liquid form for reactivity.
* Controlled isocyanate-functional group content in the polymer component.
* Versatile use in forming polyurethane or polyurethane foam articles.

'''Potential Applications:'''
The technology can be applied in industries such as automotive, construction, furniture, and insulation for manufacturing various polyurethane products.

'''Problems Solved:'''
The method addresses the need for sustainable practices in polymer production, efficient use of recycled materials, and controlled polymer properties for specific applications.

'''Benefits:'''
* Sustainability through recycling of polyurethane materials.
* Cost-effectiveness by reusing waste materials.
* Customizable polymer properties for different product requirements.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
The technology can be utilized in the production of eco-friendly polyurethane products for a wide range of industries, offering a competitive edge in the market.

'''Questions about Isocyanate-Functional Polymer Component:'''
1. How does the method of transforming recycled polyurethane into a liquid form contribute to sustainable production practices?
2. What are the advantages of controlling the isocyanate-functional group content in the polymer component for specific applications?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method of forming an isocyanate-functional polymer component includes forming a first mixture by mixing a recycled polyurethane article and a first isocyanate component having isocyanate-functional groups. The first mixture is heated to a temperature sufficient to transform the recycled polyurethane article from a solid form to a liquid form and react the liquid recycled polyurethane component with the first isocyanate component to form an isocyanate-functional polymer component having an isocyanate-functional group content greater than zero and less than isocyanate-functional group content of the first isocyanate component. The formed isocyanate-functional polymer component may then be used for forming a polyurethane article or polyurethane foam article that is the reaction product of the formed isocyanate-functional polymer component, a second isocyanate component and an isocyanate-reactive component having hydroxyl-functional groups.
