CURE CHARACTERISTICS OF HYDROXYL TERMINATED POLYBUTADIENE PREPOLYMER WITH BLOCKED TOLUENE DIISOCYANATE-Ⅰ

Controlled release of TDI and hence the cure characteristics of several blocked TDI with HTPB are reported. The reactions were followed through viscosity measurements as a function of time and temperature under the catalytic influence of triethylamine. The effect of nature of substituents present on the end capping substrate, temperature, solvent, basicity of catalyst and kinetics thereon have been studied.

Determination of toluene diisocyanate in synthetic-rubber track by ion chromatography with ultraviolet detection after alkaline suppressor

In the present work, a novel analytical method was proposed for the determination of toluene diisocyanate （TDI） in syntheticrubber track by ion chromatography （IC） coupled with an ultraviolet detector setting at 212 nm. TDI can be hydrolyzed to toluene diamine （TDA） which can be separated by cation-exchange IC easily. The optimum IC separation was performed on an IonPac CS12A column （150 mm ×4.0 mm） using 20 mmol L^-1 sodium sulfate, 10 mmol L^-1 sulfuric acid and 10% acetonitrile as eluent. It was found that a higher signal response of TDA could be obtained under alkaline condition. A suppressor was used to change the acidic eluent into alkaline one. 0.8 mol L^-1 potassium hydroxide was chosen as the optimum regeneration eluent. With the added suppressor and regenerant, signal response was magnified by about 16 times and lower limit of detection （LOD, 0.13 μg L^-1） was obtained. Within-day relative standard deviation （R.S.D.） was less than 3.6%. The recoveries of TDI spiked in synthetic-rubber track samoles were 96.4-110.6%.

CURE CHARACTERISTICS OF HYDROXYL TERMINATED POLYBUTADIENE PREPOLYMER WITH BLOCKED TOLUENE DIISOCYANATE-Ⅱ

Cure characteristics of hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) prepolymer with avariety of blocked toluene diisocyanate (TDI) in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) andchloroacetic acid catalyst are reported. Phenol, thiophenol, p-chloropheno1, p-nitrophenol,p-cresol, resorcinol, naphthols, caprolactam and butylated-hydroxytoluene were used as blockingagents. Viscosity measurements have been carried out using a mixture of HTPB and blocked TDIin cyclohexanone in the presence of the catalysts at 50℃ and 60℃ using Haake rotational vis-cometer. Viscosity measurements have also been carried out with 50% solids such as ammonium sulphate along with HTPB and TDI adduct.

Preparation and Formation Mechanism of Porous Polyurea by Reaction of Toluene Diisocyanate with Water and Its Application as Adsorbent for Anionic Dye Removal

A novel and easy one-step protocol for preparation of a new porous material, polyurea （PPU）, is reported, which is accomplished through a precipitation polymerization of toluene diisocyanate （TDI） in mixed solvent of H20-acetone without need for surfactant and porogen. Effects of TDI concentration, mechanical stirring, solvent composition and TDI addition rate on PPU structure are studied. Surface morphology and pore structure of PPU are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Hg intrusion. Chemical structure of the PPU polymer is investigated using NMR, XRD and FTIR. Mechanism of pore formation is discussed. The obtained PPU is used as adsorbent for anionic dyes adsorption investigation. Two anionic dyes, remazol brilliant blue R and acid fuchsine, are tested. The results indicate that the as-prepared PPU is of high performance in dye adsorption and recycled use. This study provided therefore a facile route to the preparation of a novel and attractive adsorbent candidate for removal of anionic dyes from wastewaters.

DIBUTYLTIN DILAURATE-CATALYZED DIISOCYANATE COUPLING—GRAFTING OF POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL)ONTO NANO-SILICA SURFACE THROUGH A ONE-STEP PROCEDURE

Grafting polymer glycols onto nano-silica surface through one-step procedure was investigated.The major characteristic of this procedure is that all the materials and reagents(silica,PEG,TDI,DBTDL,solvent)required for grafting were added simultaneously into the reaction vessel.TDI and DBTDL were used as coupling agent and catalyst,respectively. The products were characterized by FTIR,TGA,elemental analyses and TEM,giving evidence for successful grafting of PEG.Possible mechanism of this grafting was studied and two grafting processes were proposed.The process through which the grafting proceeds depends on the reaction temperature.Effect of molecular weight of PEG on grafting was also investigated.
