Aromatic alcohols Diisocyanate

Polymers. The molecular weights of polymers used in high energy electron radiation-curable coating systems are ca 1,000—25,000 and the polymers usually contain acryUc, methacrylic, or fumaric vinyl unsaturation along or attached to the polymer backbone (4,48). Aromatic or aUphatic diisocyanates react with glycols or alcohol-terrninated polyether or polyester to form either isocyanate or hydroxyl functional polyurethane intermediates. The isocyanate functional polyurethane intermediates react with hydroxyl functional polyurethane and with acryUc or methacrylic acids to form reactive p olyurethanes. 

For environmental reasons there has been interest in methods for manufacturing isocyanates without the use of phosgene. One approach has been to produee diurethanes from diamines and then to thermal eleave the diurethanes into diisocyanates and alcohols. Although this method has been used for the production of aliphatic diisocyanates such as hexamethylene diisocyanate and isophorone diisocyanate, for economic reasons it has not been adopted for the major aromatic isocyanates MDI and TDI. 

Most of the commercially used isocyanates are diisocyanates and R is an aromatic ring. MIC is an exception its structure is H3C-N=C=0. The physicochemical properties of MIC differ from those of other isocyanates (Lowe, 1970 Tse and Pesce, 1978 Westcott, 1985 Worthy, 1985). Because of high chemical reactivity of MIC with alcohols, it serves as an intermediate in the production of the pesticide carbaryl. Diisocyanates are primarily used for the manufacture of polyurethanes. 

While activation energies have been published for many isocyanate/ alcohol reactions, relatively few reports have been made of the heat of reaction. Bayer [136] reported a heat of reaction of 52 kcal mole , or 26 kcal equiv", for the hexamethylene diisocyanate/1,4-butanediol reaction. Lovering and Laidler [137] measured heats of reactions for the butyl alcohol isomers with several aromatic isocyanates. Values ranged from 18.5 to 25 kcal equiv . ... 

ISOPHORONE DIAMINE DIISOCYANATE (4098-71-9) Combustible liquid (flash point 212°F/100°C). Reacts with water, forming cyanic acid. Incompatible with acids, caustics, alcohols, ammonia, aliphatic amines, alkanolamines, aromatic amines, amides, caprolactam, glycols, mercaptans, strong oxidizers. 

This makes it susceptible to attack by nucleophilic reagents, such as alcohols, acids, water, amines, and mercaptans. The electrophilicity of the carbon atom can be increased if R is an aromatic ring which can conjugate with the isocyanate group. Thus, aromatic diisocyanates are more reactive than aliphatic ones. 

The predominant uses for toluene are, depending on location, the production of benzene by dealkylation (predominantly in the USA), the application as an aromatic solvent, the production of toluene diisocyanate through nitrotoluene intermediates and the manufacture of the oxidation products benzoic acid, benzalde-hyde and benzyl alcohol. 

In 2007, Cao and Jana at Akron tethered Cloisite 30B clay particles onto SMP polyurethanes [70]. The polyurethanes were synthesized from aromatic diisocyanates, a crystalline polyester polyol, and poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) diol. The monomer ratios were cleverly balanced between an excess ratio of isocyanate in the polymer system and the pendant alcohol groups (-CH2CH2OH) on the quaternary ammonium ions fi om the Cloisite 30B. The team observed an increase in the rubbery modulus at 100°C (Tm-I- 50°C) of nearly one order of magnitude, from 4—5 MPa without loading to more than 20 MPa with loading. In the carefully crafted study, the authors determined that at high (5%) clay content, a more rapid relaxation of induced tensile stress reduces the recovery force of SMPs. In addition,... 

To introduce functional groups, polymer blends were produced in the extruder from PCU and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with 10, 20 and 30 mass% PVA. In addition, the commercial products Mitrathane and Tecoflex were applied as carrier materials. While Mitrathane is built up of the aromatic diisocyanate MDI, hydroxytelechelic polytetrahydrofuran and an aliphatic amine as chain prolonger, Tecoflex consists of a cycloaliphatic diisocyanate component (Table 2). The...
