Isocyanate is a highly unsaturated compound. It reacts readily with compounds containing active proton such as alcohol, phenol, acid, and amine through isocyanation. In this article, this very useful synthesis route is reviewed with regard to applications of isocyanation for the synthesis of polyurethanes, polyurethane ionomers, polyamides, polyimides, polyamide-imides, interpenetrating network polymers, polymers for membrane separation, comb- and star-polymers, functional monomers, and new stabilizers. **Visiting research scientist from Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100080, People's Republic of China.
