The present invention relates to a one-component processing method and system for preparing polyurea materials. This method and system involves a polymerization process using cyclic oligomeric polyurea precursors. These cyclic oligomeric precursors have dynamic urea bonds such as hindered urea bonds (HUBs). These cyclic oligomeric precursors exhibit dynamic properties to reversibly dissociate in situ yielding isocyanate and amine components which polymerize to yield the polyureas, such as linear, branched or cross-linked polyureas. This method and system has advantages over conventional methods that utilize two-component systems. Such two-component systems require the segregation of the isocyanate and amine components to prevent premature or too rapid polymerization. The resulting polyureas are useful for a variety of applications including coatings.
