Polyurethane films prepared with isophorone diisocyanate functionalized wheat starch
[EN]This study reports the fabrication and performance of sustainable polyurethane (PU) films based on wheat starch (native NS, modified MS), bio-polyols (1,3-propanediol PD, glycerol Gly), and polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI). NS was successfully modified with isophorone diisocyanate,...

| Sumario: | [EN]This study reports the fabrication and performance of sustainable polyurethane (PU) films based on wheat starch (native NS, modified MS), bio-polyols (1,3-propanediol PD, glycerol Gly), and polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI). NS was successfully modified with isophorone diisocyanate, confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (C-13 NMR). Various PU films were prepared using NS, PD or Gly, MS and pMDI. For comparison, reference films were also synthesized without MS. PU films were analyzed from the viewpoint of their chemical, thermomechanical and flexural properties, and micro-structural morphology. FTIR spectra demonstrated the total consumption of NCO groups, while the scanning electron microscopy micrographs of the films revealed that MS addition promoted the interactions between the compounds, enhancing in consequence their mechanical and thermomechanical performance. The study sup -ported the suitability of functionalized carbohydrates to substitute petrochemical compounds in the synthesis of more environmentally-friendly PUs. |
