Electrocyclic ring-closure of 6-vinylcyclohepta-1,3,5-isocyanate has been carried out in the presence of triphenylphosphine to examine a catalyzing effect of the triphenylphosphine. The preparation of 10-(1-carboalkoxyalkyl)-2,7-methanoaza[10]annulenes by the electrocyclic ring-closure of ketenimine intermediates, which are formed by the reaction of triphenylalkylidenephosphorane and 6-vinylcyclo-hepta-1,3,5-isocyanate, is described. 10-Alkyl-2,7-methanoaza[10]annulenes were prepared by basic hydrolysis of the carboalkoxyaza[10]annulenes and decarboxylation of the acid intermediates. In the same manner, 10-(N-alkyl(or aryl))-2,7-methanoaza[10]annulenes were prepared from the reaction of the isocyanate and N-alkyl(or aryl)iminotriphenylphosphorane via electrocylic ring-closure of carbodiimide intermediate.

Results are shown on the preparation and characterization of homopolymer of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate(MOI) ad copolymers of MOI with styrene synthesized by radical polymerization. The significant effectiveness of the polymers as additives for paper dry and wet strength was found. Dry strength can be increased by 75% and wet strength retention of sheets can reach 30% based on the increased dry strength and about 50% based on the dry strength of untreated sheet. Based on isocyanate group consumption, copolymers containing less isocyanate can give better effect than homopolymer in sheet wet strength improvement. Furthermore, the base paper containing a small amount of polyallylamine hydrochloride was used for polymer treatment and got higher wet strength improvement.

For the urethane formation reaction of isocyanate with alcohol, orientation of approach of alcohol toward isocyanate was investigated theoretically by means of MO method. As a result of EHT and CNDO/2 calculations, it was found that the reaction proceeding via 4-centered mechanism, in which ROH is coplanar with isocyanate plane was energetically favored. It was also shown that the oxygen of ROH attacks the isocyanate carbon prior to the formation of 4-center complex. The reaction was found to be a charge controlled one.

Rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) were fabricated from crude MDI (CMDI) and polypropylene glycols (PPGs) of various isocyanate indices with a physical blowing agent (HFC 365mfc). There was a tendency for the gel time to decrease and the tack-free time to increase with increasing index value. With increasing index value the foam density and compression strength decreased and the glass transition temperature, dimension stability and thermal insulation increased, while the cell size and closed cell content were virtually unchanged. Allophanate crosslinks and condensation reactions between the isocyanate groups, which are favored with a high index value, exerted significant effects on the properties of RPUFs.

We prepared side-chain liquid crystalline polymers comprising two monomeric units, one having a mesogenic side group that could form a smectic mesophase and the other having a phenolic group attached to the polymer backbone via a thermally reversible urethane bond. The urethane linkage between the isocyanate and phenol groups was stable at room temperature, but it cleaved to generate an isocyanate group when the temperature was increased. When annealed, the copolymers in their smectic mesophases became insoluble in common organic solvents, suggesting the formation of network structures. XRD analysis showed that the annealed polymers maintained their smectic LC structures. The crosslinking process probably proceeded via the reaction of the dissociated isocyanate groups. Some of the isocyanate groups would have first reacted with moisture in the atmosphere to yield amino groups, which underwent further reaction with other isocyanate groups, resulting in the formation of urea bonds. We presume that only polymer chains in the same layer were crosslinked by the reaction of the isocyanate groups, resulting in the formation of a layered polymer network structure. Reactions between the layers did not occur because of the wide layer spacing.

In this study, the one-component curable polyurethane resin was manufactured using blocked isocyanate and hybrid technology. To prepare the one-component curable hybrid polyurethane, silica hybrids including hydroxyl group was synthesized, and the size, shape and distribution of hybrid particle in polyurethane resin were confirmed. Then the dissociation property, mechanical property and molding property of blocked isocyanate were investigated. The dissociation property of blocked isocyanate in one-component curable polyurethane became better as the heating temperature and treatment time increased. The synthesized silica hybrid had spherical appearance and size of 23~27 nm in diameter, and it was observed that the hybrid particles were homogeneously distributed in polyurethane structure. In the case of hybrid polyurethane, the mechanical property, anti-abrasion and thermal property were higher than those of general polyurethane, and it was observed that the mechanical property was maintained when the plasticizer was introduced.

Background : We are in the edge of some human made disasters such as hazardous materials and air pollution, for example, the world news reported that the city of Bhopal, India had serious victims related with a leaking out of the chemical materials, Methyl Isocyanate and many people in India were killed by. These situations many people who live in this world are world are worrying about are not others, but just ours and people consider about that kind of the disasters are the possible situation to happen to all the people. Therefore, we performed this basic study to recognize the risk of Methyl Isocyanate leak accident and to prepare local disaster plan with EMS system. Method : Trace 8.0, a simulation software made by the U.S. company Safer System was used as a tool to estimate the diffusion distance, area and its victims at the concentrations of 0.02ppm, 0.2ppm 5ppm respectively for an assumed B-city of 2 hundred thousands population count in which was presumed 500kg Methyl Isocyanate gas to leak out. Results : 1. During 1 hour, maximum diffusion distances of 0.02ppm 0.2ppm and 5ppm were 5.41km, 1.61km and 0.29km respectively on the plume impact. 2. Maximum population counts influenced by Methyl Isocyanate gas at the concentrations of 0.02ppm 0.2ppm and 5ppm were 40838, 4346 and 222 on the plume impact, while those were 138238, 17261 and 1588 on the vulnerability impact, respectively. 3. Therefore, 17261 persons must put on respiratory device and 138283 persons must be evacuated to safety place within 1 hour. Conclusions : Only small amount leak of Methyl Isocyanate may cause tremendous chemical disaster in urban area, so its disaster plan must be prepared with an accident simulation program and Material Safety Data Sheets(MSDS). Especially, nearby emergency center of an industrial complex must have a strong position about preparation of chemical disaster plan and perform a disaster dill of hazardous material accident annually.

The purpose of this study is the development of the simple and precise determination method of ethyl isocyanate (EIC) and propyl isocyanate (PIC) through derivatization using secondary aliphatic amines by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector. The urea derivatives are quantitatively and simultaneously derived from EIC and PIC with secondary aliphatic amines such as dipropylamine, dibutylamine. and dipentylamine in methylene chloride, and confirmed by thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography with mass selective detector. For GC/FID, according to the increasing carbon atom of the amines, the retention time and peak area of the urea derivatives are increased. The instrumental detection limits for EIC and PIC were about 23.3∼34.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$ and 21.6∼28.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$, respectively.
