Experimental and clinical investigations to evaluate immunity, lipid peroxidation (LPO), and antioxidative defense (AOD) under the action of tolylene diisocyanate at the level of MAC and 10 MAC were conducted for further studies of the agent's pathogenetic mechanisms. The experimental investigations showed the predominant activation of cellular and humoral immunities, as well as the suppression of nonspecific defence at 10 MAC, enhanced LPO, and phasic changes in AOD. Most profound immunological changes were observed in those having as long as 5 years of length of service.

Herein, a novel glycidyl carbamate functional epoxy resin (GCE) is synthesized by the additional reaction of the isocyanate group of tolylene diisocyanate (TDI) with the hydroxyl group of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and glycidol. The successful synthesis of the GCE is confirmed by FT-IR and H NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, a dual-curing adhesive system is developed using acrylic acid and trimethylolpropane triacrylate with varying GCE contents, and its adhesive performance is assessed by testing adhesive strength, pencil hardness, and surface energy.

Polyurethane (PU) plays a critical role in elastomers, adhesives, and self-healing materials. We selected the most commonly used aromatic isocyanates, 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI), and the most commonly used aliphatic isocyanates, hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), and dicyclohexylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate (HMDI), as raw materials, combined with polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) to successfully synthesize five PU materials. The effects of isocyanate structure on polymerization rate, hydrogen bonding, thermal properties, phase separation, wettability, self-healing performance, adhesion, and mechanical properties were systematically investigated.

Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is a major industrial compound that induces occupational asthma with steroid-resistant properties. Recent studies suggest that the gastrointestinal tract may be an effective target for the treatment of respiratory diseases. However, the alterations of the gut-lung axis in TDI-induced asthma remain unexplored.

Inorganic scale formation is a common issue in multi-stage flash (MSF) desalination plants, significantly impacting operational efficiency. To address this, acid cleaning is frequently employed, but it can lead to severe corrosion of alloy components if not properly controlled with corrosion inhibitors. This study investigates the effectiveness of toluene-2,4-diisocyanate-4-(1H-imidazole-ly) aniline (TDIA) as a corrosion inhibitor for 304L stainless steel in a simulated acid cleaning solution (1M HCl and 3.

Exploiting the chirality of nanometric structures to modulate biological systems is an emerging and compelling area of research. In this study, we reveal that chiral polyurea nanocapsules exhibit significant stereoselective interactions with albumins from various sources despite their nearly neutral surface potential. Moreover, these interactions can be modulated by altering the nanocapsule surface composition, offering new opportunities to impact their distribution and, if used as a drug delivery system, the pharmacokinetics of the drug.
