Polyurethane (PU) prepolymers were synthesized from polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG), 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), toluene 2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) and isophoron diisocyanate (IPDI). After chain extention using dimethyol propionic acid (DMPA), aqueous polyurethane anionomers were prepared from triethyl amine (TEA) as a neutralizer. The effect of the content of chain extender and the degree of neutralization on the state of emulsification, adhesive strength, viscosity, glass transition temperature and physical properties of emulsion cast film were investigated using UTM, Viscometer and DSC.

Anionic polymerization of 2-pyrrolidone was carried out by TDI (Toluene Diisocyanate)/KOH catalysis. The effects of TDI / KOH mole ratio, KOH concentration, temperature and time on polymerization were investigated. It was observed that the highest rate of polymerization and maximum conversion were obtained when TDI / KOH mole ratio was about 0.25. The maximum conversion and the highest viscosity were obtained when the concentration of KOH was 5 mole percent. It was also found that the rate of polymerization and inherent viscosity at $30^{\circ}C$ were higher than those at $50^{\circ}C$. The rate constant ($k_p$) of polymerization was determined by least square method; the values of kp obtained were $57.53{\ell}/mole{\cdot}min\;at\;30^{\circ}C$ and $52.36{\ell}/mole{\cdot}min\;at\;50^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Background: Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is a highly reactive chemical that causes sensitization and has also been associated with increased lung cancer. A risk assessment was conducted based on occupational epidemiologic estimates for several health outcomes. Methods: Exposure and outcome details were extracted from published studies and a NIOSH Health Hazard Evaluation for new onset asthma, pulmonary function measurements, symptom prevalence, and mortality from lung cancer and respiratory disease. Summary exposure-response estimates were calculated taking into account relative precision and possible survivor selection effects. Attributable incidence of sensitization was estimated as were annual proportional losses of pulmonary function. Excess lifetime risks and benchmark doses were calculated. Results: Respiratory outcomes exhibited strong survivor bias. Asthma/sensitization exposure response decreased with increasing facility-average TDI air concentration as did TDI-associated pulmonary impairment. In a mortality cohort where mean employment duration was less than 1 year, survivor bias pre-empted estimation of lung cancer and respiratory disease exposure response. Conclusion: Controlling for survivor bias and assuming a linear dose-response with facility-average TDI concentrations, excess lifetime risks exceeding one per thousand occurred at about 2 ppt TDI for sensitization and respiratory impairment. Under alternate assumptions regarding stationary and cumulative effects, one per thousand excess risks were estimated at TDI concentrations of 10 - 30 ppt. The unexplained reported excess mortality from lung cancer and other lung diseases, if attributable to TDI or associated emissions, could represent a lifetime risk comparable to that of sensitization.

This study is about reduction reaction making 2, 4-dinitrotoluene (2, 4-DNT) to 2, 4-toluene diisocyanate (2,4-TDI) with Pd/$SiO_2$. Catalytic systems based on Pd/$SiO_2$ at about $200^{\circ}C$ and under 100 bars of carbon monoxide. We studied the effect of pyridine on the yield of the TDI. TDI was not created without pyridine, but created with pyridine, at the reaction result. According to research, homogeneous synthesis of TDI with direct carbonylation, palladium and pyridine complexion is known to catalyze. When adding pyridine the reason of TDI synthesis is palladium leaching, ICP-AES was performed to confirm it. As a result, the proportion of Pd loaded in $SiO_2$ was decreased 52% than before, after the reaction by adding 20 vol% pyridine. Generating TDI by adding pyridine might be the effect of the complex ion, which is composed of leached palladium and pyridine.

Fluorinated polyurethane elastomers were synthesized by two step polyaddition of a perfluorinated polyether diol(trade name of Fomblin $ZDOL^{\circledR}$) and diisocyanates such as 4,4'-diphenyl methane diisocyanate(MDI) and toluene 2,4-diisocyanate(TDI). In order to control the Fomblin moiety of the soft segment in the synthesized elastomers to 10~50%, polyether type polyols such as polypropylene glycol(PPG) and polytetramethylene glycol(PTMG) were mixed during the polymerization reaction. Ethylene diamine or 1,4-butane diol was used as chain extenders. The structure and average molecular weight of the produced polyurethanes were confirmed by using FT-IR, $^1H-NMR$, DSC, and GPC. The surface properties were analyzed by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and contact angle meter. From the results of the surface analysis it was concluded that the fluorine groups were localized on the surface rather than the inside of the polyurethane films.
