Preparation and Properties of Glucose Derivatives having Polymerizable Group: II-Comparison between Glucose Derivatives Prepared with Different Isocyanate Compounds-

Abstract

In this study, glucose derivatives as novel binders for fiber board were prepared with isocyanate compounds, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and glucose. 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl isocyanate (MOI), Tolylene 2,4- diisocyanate (TDI) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) were used to prepare the glucose derivatives. When TDI and IPDI were used for preparation of glucose derivative, by-products such as glucose-diisocyanate-glucose and HEMAdiisocyanate-HEMA were produced. The glucose derivatives were polymerized and physical properties of the homopolymers were evaluated. The homopolymers show excellent mechanical property and thermal stability.
