Influence of fullerene content on the properties of polyurethane resins: A study of rheology and thermal characteristics.

The effect of different contents of fullerene on the properties of polyurethane resins (PUs), including rheology and thermal properties, was investigated. Polyurethane resins were prepared through polyaddition reactions using different isocyanate monomers such as isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and different polyols, such as poly(oxytetramethylene) glycol (PTMG), the triol trade name FA-703, and polypropylene glycols (PPG), at an NCO/OH ratio 0.94 and a temperature of 100 °C.
