good thing one of the main chemist's behind Green Polyurethane is Professor Oleg Figovsky. He is one of several that you speak of "documenting [the] scientific literature for a couple of decades"
Figovsky has been an author or co-author of many publications relating to polyurethane since the 1970s. Just read his short Bio below. The man is masterful. The research team behind this product is only glorified even further through the EPA award. A lot has changed and accelerated since the award and I think it is overlooked by so many.
BIO
Prof. Oleg Figovsky is the founder and R&D the Polymate Ltd. - International Nanotechnology Research Centre where he is working on research in nanostructured corrosion-resistant composite materials and protective coatings based on a polymer and silicate matrix. Novel nanotechnologies invented by Prof. O. Figovsky were the basis for establishing industrial production in the US, Canada, China, Mexico, Russia and Israel.
He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Head of the UNESCO Chair "Green Chemistry". For his inventions in nanotechnologies he was awarded gold and silver medals at IENA-98 and Gold Angel Prize at the Genius 2006 exhibition.
