The compatibility between isocyanate and polyol plays an important role in determining a polyurethane product's performance. This study aims to evaluate the effect of varying the ratios between polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI) and liquefied wood polyol on the polyurethane film properties. wood sawdust was liquefied in polyethylene glycol/glycerol co-solvent with HSO as a catalyst at 150 °C for 150 min.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA series of new hexasubstituted cyclotriphosphaze derivatives containing Schiff base linkages were successfully synthesized and characterized. The series contains different terminal substituents of pentyl and tetradecyl. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen (CHN) elemental analysis were used to characterize the intermediates and final compounds, while the thermal stability of the final compounds is evaluated with a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) test.
