In the present study, adult female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats received a consecutive intraperitoneal injection of tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) isocyanurate (TBC) for seven days, and the ^16O/^18O labeling comparative proteomic approach was used to study the change of liver proteome in these rats. Thirty six differential proteins were identified between the control group and the high-dose-exposed group (8 mg/kg), of which, twenty eight proteins were down-regulated and eight proteins were up-regulated. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that most of the differential proteins were related with the metabolic and cellular processes. In addition, the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH) in liver were measured to evaluate the oxidative stress status induced by TBC exposure. Together, these findings showed that TBC might be toxic to liver by disrupting metabolic process and apoptosis. The results might provide a better insight into the mechanism of toxicity induced by TBC.展开更多
Reaction products of 2,4,6-tris(4-phenyl-phenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine derived from 4-phenylphenol cyanate ester and phenyl glycidyl ether were analyzed.

In addition to an isocyanurate compound and an oxazolidone compound which were well known as reaction products of cyanate esters and epoxy resins, compounds with hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate were determined. Gibbs free energies of the compound having hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate with two isocyanurate moiety were found to be lower than that of the compound with cyanurate ring structure through calculations. Calculation data supported the existence of hybrid ring structure of cy-anurate/isocyanurate. It was revealed that isomerization from cyanurate to isocyanurate occurs via hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate in the reaction of aryl cyanurate and epoxy.展开更多

Four exothermic peaks are observed on the DSC curves of thermal condensation of FA and FA with THEIC in the presence of sulfuric acid.The peaks Ⅰ,Ⅱ(50—80℃),Ⅲ(110—130℃)and Ⅳ(150— 190℃)correspond to linear polycondensation of FA through head-to-tail condensation,head-to-head etherification,crosslinking dehydration reaction between methylene group and terminal hydroxy group of FA polymeric chain and to further crosslinking reaction at higher temperature,respectively.The reactivity of FA and THEIC increases sharply at 130—150℃ and THEIC is reacted completely at 150℃.Addition of THEIC raises the initial decomposition temperature of FA polymer by 60℃.展开更多
