Polymerization mechanism of polyurethanes. (A) One-stage polymerization where polyols/polyamines and chain extenders react with excess diisocyanates simultaneously. (B) Two-stage polymerization where polyols/polyamines react with diisocyanates first, followed by an additional reaction with the chain extenders.
