Synthesis and characterization of novel diimide–dinaphthols and resulting poly(urethane–imide)s

Novel diols containing imide groups were prepared via condensation of aromatic dianhydrides with 5‐amino‐1‐naphthol. The diimide–dinaphthols prepared were characterized by conventional methods and used to synthesize new poly(urethane–imide)s (PUIs). All the polymers were characterized and their physical properties, such as solubility, solution viscosity, thermal stability, and thermal behaviour were studied. The polymers obtained showed more thermal stability than typical polyurethanes because of the presence of the imide groups. Copyright © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry     

Synthesis and properties of monodisperse hydroxy-terminated oligomers of 1,4-butanediol and 2,4-toluene diisocyanate

The synthesis of monodisperse hard segments containg 2,4-TDI and 1,4-butanediol by a simple technique is described. High purity material is obtained in good yield. The structures of these hard segments are confirmed by proton n.m.r., ¹³Cn.m.r., and i.r. Glass transition temperatures and melting temperatures are reported. The T_g′s of the hard segments are inversely proportional to the reciprocal of their molecular weights. The T_m′s show an odd-even effect relative to the number of 2,4-TDI units in the hard segment.

Preparation of segmented, high molecular weight, aliphatic poly(ether-urea) copolymers in isopropanol. In-situ FTIR studies and polymer synthesis

The use of isopropanol (IPA) as the reaction solvent for the preparation of high molecular weight segmented polyether-urea copolymers based on cycloaliphatic diisocyanates was investigated. Reactivity of IPA with bis(4-isocyanatohexyl)methane (HMDI) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) was studied between 0 and 40 °C using in-situ FTIR spectroscopy. HMDI, which has secondary isocyanate groups, shows a very slow reaction with a large excess of IPA at 0 and 23 °C. Analysis of the kinetic data indicates an activation energy of 51 kJ/mol for the reaction between HMDI and IPA. As expected, IPDI, which has both a primary and a secondary isocyanate (NCO) group, reacts faster with IPA compared with HMDI, which only has secondary NCO groups. However, the rate of reaction of IPDI with IPA at 0 °C is extremely slow (approximately 1% consumption of isocyanate in 60 min) thus allowing the use of IPA as the reaction solvent for polyether-urea synthesis. Preparation of high molecular weight, high-strength HMDI and IPDI based polyether-urea segmented copolymers in IPA has been demonstrated. Thermal analysis and stress-strain analyses were used to characterize the products.     

Synthesis and characterization of butan‐1‐ol modified toluene diisocyanate trimer

Butan‐1‐ol modified toluene diisocyanate tri mer (TDI‐trimer) was synthesized and characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, and thermal gravimetry analysis techniques. The modified TDI‐trimer showed good dissolvable ability with hydroxy resin and can be used to produce paints with acrylic polyol resin. The thermal stability of the modified TDI‐trimer was improved by simply increasing both the amount of catalyst and the ratio of ? NCO/? OH, less depended on the kind of catalyst. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 102: 4958–4962, 2006     

Phase inversion and its effect on the properties of polyester polyurethane cationomers

Polyester polyurethane cationomers are prepared using polyester polyol of molecular weight 2000 as soft segments, N-methyl diethanolamine as chain extender, glycolic acid as quaternization agent, methyl ethyl ketone as solvent, and 4,4'-diphenylenemethylene diisocyanate (MDI) as diisocyanate. Properties of the films cast from solutions and emulsions are studied by infrared spectroscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and tensile-elongation testing. Ionization can cause phase separation and produces increased cohesion in the hard domains. The dispersion process can be divided into three stages involving a separation of hard segment aggregates due to adsorption of water on their surface, water entering into hard segment microionic lattics, and finally a rearrangement of agglomerates to form microspheres. The dispersion can disrupt the order in the hard domains and an increased phase separation.     

1H nuclear magnetic resonance study of polyurethane prepolymers from toluene diisocyanate and polypropylene glycol

Polyurethane prepolymers prepared from toluene 2,4‐diisocyanate, toluene 2,6‐diisocyanate, and polypropylene glycol with a ratio between the isocyanate and hydroxyl groups equal to 2 were analyzed by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in acetone‐d₆. Different temperatures and concentrations were used. Toluene 2,4‐dimethylurethane and toluene 2,6‐dimethylurethane were synthesized and used as model compounds to assign prepolymers signals. Measurements of spin–lattice relaxation time T₁ by “inversion recovery” experiments were carried out on toluene 2,4‐diisocyanate, toluene 2,6‐diisocyanate, toluene 2,4‐dimethylurethane, toluene 2,6‐dimethylurethane, and polyurethane prepolymers. Differences in T₁ times were used to interpret prepolymers spectra, by means of the strong observed effect on protons due to the presence of adjacent isocyanate groups. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
