Abstract:The work presented here reports the greener synthesis of polyurea (GPUa) via in-situ solvent-free precipitation polymerization of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) (used as monomer) and water. The divalent manganese [Mn(II)] ions were incorporated into GPUa to form Mn(II)-GPUa to enhance its applicability. The structure of GPUa and Mn(II)-GPUa was validated by Fourier-transform infrared and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectral techniques. The morphology along with the elemental analysis of GPUa and Mn(II)-GPUa … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
