Abstract:The kinetics of the reaction between hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and polypropylene glycols (PPG) of different molecular weights toward the synthesis of polyurethanes with versatile properties was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). From the dynamic exotherms observed in DSC, it was found that the Kissinger equation modified by an additional temperature term in its frequency factor term was able to accurately describe the isothermal reaction kinetics… Show more
