Polymerization of isocyanates. V. Thermal degradation of polyisocyanates

Yoshio Iwakura, Keikichi Uno, Norio Kobayashi

Abstract

Abstract Thermal degradation of polyisocyanates was investigated. The only degradation products were monomer and trimer. The main product was trimer for most aliphatic polymers, and monomer for aromatic polymers. Poly(cyclohexyl isocyanate) gave only its monomer on account of steric requirements. The apparent activation energy was calculated for aromatic polymers by using TGA and DTA curves.
