Study on ternary polymerization of toluene diisocyanate

摘要

For the production of reactive polyurethane cross-linkinger and curing agents, 2, 4-diisocyanate toluene (TDI) terpolymer, which possesses the rigid structures of hexatomic ring and three reactive functional groups, was synthesized and characterized by the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), the gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and the chemical analysis methods. The reaction conditions were studied and optimized. A tracking research on the polymerization process of TDI was taken by using the GPC. The formation processes of the terpolymer, oligomers and higher-polymers were also dealt with. Results show that the TDI terpolymer can be prepared in the presence of Cat-3 catalyst and at the reaction temperature of (60 +- 2) deg C. The reaction time is short, its outcomes have narrow molecular weights distribution, namely molecular weights from 530 to 550,M_w/M_n= 1. 10, and the mass fraction of NCO is (25.0 +- 0.5) percent. With the reaction time prolonging, however, TDI can be further higher-polymerized to form higher-polymers. Benzoyl chloride (0.4 percent, mass fraction), as the stabilizing agent, can effectively inhibit the occurrence of higher-polymerization. The obtained TDI terpolymer can be stable for more than half a year.
