Polyurethanes, formed through the reaction of raw polyols with isocyanates, are one of the most widely used types of plastics today. By varying the starting materials, a diverse range of plastics can ...

Diisocyanates are used in a variety of products, including as precursors to adhesives and coatings. Unreacted isocyanate can pose health risks to consumers so monitoring the polymerisation reactions ...

We present an experimental and computational study to investigate noncovalent interactions between silyl groups that are often employed as “innocent” protecting groups. We chose an extended ...

Electroactive shape memory polyurethane composites reinforced with octadecyl isocyanate-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes ...

BASF has started up a methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) plant at its complex in Geismar, Louisiana. The unit replaces an older facility for a marginal increase in capacity. The company says it ...

Reactions of Ir(III) silyl and silylene complexes with a variety of unsaturated substrates were investigated. The reactivity of these complexes toward small molecules was also examined, and this led ...
