Hydroxyl groups isocyanate

Commonly used isocyanates are toluene dhsocyanate, methylene diphenyl isocyanate, and polymeric isocyanates. Polyols used are macroglycols based on either polyester or polyether. The former [poly(ethylene phthalate) or poly(ethylene 1,6-hexanedioate)] have hydroxyl groups that are free to react with the isocyanate. Most flexible foam is made from 80/20 toluene dhsocyanate (which refers to the ratio of 2,4-toluene dhsocyanate to 2,6-toluene dhsocyanate). High-resilience foam contains about 80% 80/20 toluene dhsocyanate and 20% poly(methylene diphenyl isocyanate), while semi-flexible foam is almost always 100% poly(methylene diphenyl isocyanate). Much of the latter reacts by trimerization to form isocyanurate rings. 

Following this work, the y -12F-diol was used for the direct reaction with hexamethylene-1,6-diisocyanate in the presence of dibutyltin dilaurate to produce a cross-linked elastomer or a reactive prepolymer which was terminated with either isocyanate or hydroxyl groups, depending on which reactant was in excess (142,143). 

The polyaddition reaction is influenced by the stmcture and functionaHty of the monomers, including the location of substituents in proximity to the reactive isocyanate group (steric hindrance) and the nature of the hydroxyl group (primary or secondary). Impurities also influence the reactivity of the system for example, acid impurities in PMDI require partial neutralization or larger amounts of the basic catalysts. The acidity in PMDI can be reduced by heat or epoxy treatment, which is best conducted in the plant. Addition of small amounts of carboxyHc acid chlorides lowers the reactivity of PMDI or stabilizes isocyanate terrninated prepolymers. 

It is possible to react an organic moiety to the hydroxyl groups on ceU waU components. This type of treatment also bulks the ceU with a permanently bonded chemical (68). Many compounds modify wood chemically. The best results are obtained by the hydroxyl groups of wood reacting under neutral or mildly alkaline conditions below 120°C. The chemical system used should be simple and must be capable of swelling the wood stmcture to facUitate penetration. The complete molecule must react quickly with wood components to yield stable chemical bonds while the treated wood retains the desirable properties of untreated wood. Anhydrides, epoxides, and isocyanates have ASE values of 60—75% at chemical weight gains of 20—30%. 

This process is based on the very high reactivity of the isocyanate group toward hydrogen present ia hydroxyl groups, amines, water, etc, so that the chain extension reaction can proceed to 90% yield or better. Thus when a linear polymer is formed by chain extension of a polyester or polyether of molecular weight 1000—3000, the final polyurethane may have a molecular weight of 100,000 or higher (see Urethane polymers). 

Their main point of difference is that the phenoxies are of much higher molecular weight ( 25 000). The phenoxies are also said to be slightly branched. Like the epoxide resins they are capable of cross-linking via the pendant hydroxyl groups, in this instance by di-isocyanates and other agents. 

Blocked isocyanates are particularly helpful in dual cure mechanisms. In one instance, UV light first polymerizes an acrylate polymer containing hydroxyl groups. The system also contains a malonate ester-blocked isocyanate. The one-component system is heated, which starts the polymerization of the acrylate. Higher temperatures unblock the isocyanate, permitting the cure of the urethane to proceed [15].

In addition, there are many surface modification processes that use triplet sensitizers to permit oxidation reactions. In a typical process, polyisocyanate is applied on a polyolefin together with a sensitizer such as benzo-phenone and then irradiated with UV light. As shown in Eq. (15) the sensitizer has an oxidizing effect to produce hydroxyl groups over the polymer surface. These hydroxyl groups finally react with isocyanate to provide a functional polymer [56,57]. 

The isocyanate group is more reactive than the epoxy group in that it will react at room temperature with water and hydroxyl groups as well as with amine groups. However, the latter reaction is too fast to be practicable so the standard two-pack coatings are based on isocyanate and polyhydroxyl prepolymers such as hydroxyl terminated polyesters or polyethers as in the last example given in the section on epoxy resins. 

We can make polyurethanes via one- or two-step operations. In the single-stage process, diols and isocyanates react directly to form polymers. If we wish to make thermoplastic linear polymers, we use only diisocyanates. When thermosets are required, we use a mixture of diisocyanates and tri- or polyisocyanates residues of the latter becoming crosslinks between chains. In the first step of the two-stage process, we make oligomers known as prepolymers, which are terminated either by isocyanate or hydroxyl groups. Polymers are formed in the second step, when the isocyanate terminated prepolymers react with diol chain extenders, or the hydroxyl terminated prepolymers react with di- or polyisocyanates. 

In the terminology of Miller and Macosko (24), the present formulations can be denoted by Aj + A2 + Aj + B2 where the A s are the tri-, di-, and monohydroxy materials and B2 is TDI. The following equations are applicable only when the concentration of hydroxyl and isocyanate groups are equal, which is assumed to be true, as discussed in the text. 

Two hydroxyl groups in the PCL structure react with the isocyanate group in the IPTS and form a urethane linkage. 

Treatment of D-glucoascorbic acid (XV) with diazomethane gives a 2,3-dimethyl derivative (LXXIX) and this upon repeated treatment with silver oxide and methyl iodide yields 2,3,5,6,7-pentamethyl-D-glucoascorbic acid (LXXX). Ozonization of the latter followed by hydrolysis gives oxalic acid and 3,4,5-trimethyI-D-arabonic acid (LXXXI). This acid was shown to possess a free hydroxyl group at C2 by reason of the fact that the amide of LXXXI gives a positive Weerman reaction for a-hydroxy amides, i.e., when the amide is treated with sodium hypochlorite, sodium isocyanate is produced, the latter being identified by...
