Methylene diisocyanate (MDI) was investigated as a novel interfacial modifier to enhance the performances of poly(methyl methacrylate)-modified starch/styrene-butadiene rubber (PMMA-modified starch/SBR) composites. Owing to the formation urethane linkage on one side and ${\pi}-{\pi}$ adhesion on the other side, MDI acted as an intermediated linkage role in the PMMA-modified starch/SBR interfaces, which was evidenced by the morphological, mechanical, dynamic mechanical and thermal decomposition studies. As a result, the presence of MDI significantly improved the mechanical properties and thermal stability of PMMA-modified starch/SBR composites. In addition, the effect of starch concentration on the various performances of the resulted MDI/PMMA-modified starch/SBR composites, such as morphology, vulcanization characteristics, mechanical properties, toluene swelling behavior, and thermal stability were investigated and discussed in detail. The obtained MDI/PMMA-modified starch/SBR composites exhibited superior mechanical properties to carbon black/SBR (CB/SBR) composites, demonstrating the potential use of the renewable starch as a substitute for CB in the rubber compounds.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to propose the total isocyanate analytical method which involves derivation of 2,4-toluene diisocyanate(2,4-TDI), 2,6-toluene diisocyanate(2,6-TDI), 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate(4,4'-MDI) and 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate(1,6-HDI) using 2-chlorobenzyl alcohol(2-CBA) or 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol(2,4-DCBA), and analyzing of hydrolysate of the synthesized urethane with the gas chromatography(GC)/flame ionization detector(FID), GC/pulsed discharge ionization detector-electron capture detector(PD-ECD) and GC/mass selective detector(MSD). Methods: Urethanes were synthesized by reacting 2,4-TDI, 2,6-TDI, 4,4'-MDI and 1,6-HDI to 2-CBA or 2,4-DCBA. Urethanes was verified by TLC, HPLC/UVD and GC/MSD. For field application, the most suitable condition that 2-CBA coated in glass fiber filter removed completely and urethanes were not removed was searched. 2-CBA generated from hydrolysis of urethanes according to hydrolysis conditions. Diisocyanates were collected on field air and analyzed. Results: Urethanes which were white and solid phase synthesized by reacting 2,4-TDI, 2,6-TDI, 4,4'-MDI, 1,6-HDI and 2-CBA or 2,4-DCBA. And urethanes were verified by TLC, HPLC/UVD and GC/MSD. The most suitable conditions to remove 2-CBA coated in glass fiber filter were $87^{\circ}C$ and 20 mmHg and urethanes were not removed under same condition. Hydrolysis yields of urethanes were 99 % to 111 %. 2-CBA, the hydrolysate of urethanes was analyzed by GC/FID, GC/PD-ECD and GC/MSD. Conclusions: Simultaneous analysis of 2,4-TDI, 2,6-TDI, 4,4'-MDI and 1,6-HDI deriving with 2-CBA and 2,4-DCBA, along with a total isocyanate analysis, was feasible with GC/FID, GC/PD-ECD and GC/MSD. This result will be a guide of further study on total isocyanate analysis.

The composition of isocyanates and polyols influence prepolymeric properties of adhesive and calking sealant based on polyurethanes (PU). One component moisture curing prepolymers, which reacted with surface humidity of substrate, were synthesized in several kinds of composition. Reactivity, structural change and properties of the prepolymers were studied as a preliminary step to manufacture PU based adhesive and sealant. To study the effects of mole ratio ([NCO]/[OH]), we used toluene diisocyanate (TDI), 4, 4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), and ether-polyols such as PTMG and PPG which have good resistance to hydrolysis and excellent low-temperature properties. The each prepolymers could be prepared in different molecular weight without any significant structural change. The mole ratio 1.78 of [NCO] to [OH] showed the fastest reactivity. It was confirmed that effect of polyols was larger than that of isocyanates on the prepolymer in reactivity. Several kinds of compounds were manufactured with each prepolymer, and tensile and properties were tested. And the optimum quantity of curing accelerator for the PU was 0.05~0.1%. In the tensile test, TDI based PU was superior to MDI based PU, and also PTMG based PU was superior PPG based PU.

Morphology and thermal properties of polyurethane synthesized from 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), polyester polyol, and 1,4-butane diol are investigated using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). From the FT-IR study, it is found that the stretching peaks of hydrogen bonded N-H and C=O are shifted to the low frequencies with the increase of hard segment content of the polyurethanes. The shift of the stretching peaks of hydrogen bonded N-H and C=O indicates that the degree of hydrogen bonding is increased. From the DSC study, it appears that the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of the polyurethanes is increased with the increase of the hard segment content. Also, it is found that the polyurethanes investigated in this study have the homogeneous network structure due to the high functionality of the MDI. From the DMTA study, transition of the soft segment was not found. Therefore it is concluded that the polyurethanes investigated in this study have the one-phase morphology which is consistent with the DSC results.

New antibiotics having moieties of penicillanic acid, cephalosporanic acid and ampicillin on both ends of the central polyalkylene were synthesized by reacting 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APAl), 7-amino cephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) and ampicillin with hexamethylene diisocyanate and sebacoyl chloride, respecetively. Antibiacterial activities of the compounds were also investigated.

In this study, aqueous polyurethane dispersion(PUD) was synthesized using polyhexamethylene carbonate glycol (PHMCG) as soft segment, isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA) as hard segment. Also, polyurethane/clay nanocomposites were prepared by adding pristine montmorillonite (PM) and organically modified clays, C15A and C30B into PUD. The degree of clay dispersion in the nanocomposites was investigated using XRD and the physical and thermal properties were examined through UTM and TGA. These results showed that nanocomposites with C15A gave higher physical and thermal properties than those with C30B or PM. As a result, the properties of nanocomposites were observed to vary depending on the types of clay modifiers and clay contents.

Silylated waterborne polyurethane was synthesized by capping the NCO groups of polyurethane prepolymer, prepared from isophrone diisocyanate, poly(tetramethylene glycol) and dimethylol propionic acid, with aminopropyl triethoxysilane. Subsequently, it was mixed with colloidal silica to prepare silylated waterborne polyurethane/silica nanocomposites. The average sizes of nanocomposite particles, measured by dynamic light scattering, showed almost the same value, irrespective of increasing silica content. However, the prepared nanocomposites showed better thermal stability than pure waterborne polyurethane.

Pyrophosphoric lactone modified polyester (PATT) containing two phosphorous functional groups in one unit structure was synthesized to prepare a non-toxic reactive flame-retardant coatings. Then the PATT was cured at room temperature with isocyanate, toluene diisocyanate-isocyanurate , to get a two-component polyurethane flame-retardant coatings (PIPUC). Comparing physical properties of the films of PIPUC with those of film of non-flame-retardant coatings, there was no deterioration observed in physical properties by the introduction of a flame-retarding component into the resin. We found that the char lengths measured by 45$^{\circ}$ Meckel burner method were 3.1∼4.4 cm and LOI values recorded 27∼30%. These results indicate that the coating prepared in this study is a good flame-retardant. The surface structure of coatings investigated with SEM does not show any defects and phase separation.
