✦ Synopsis
Synthesis of polyurea by interface polymerization of diisocyanate and diamine for preparation of polymer membrane for use in separation problems was investigated. A sulfuric-acid-based casting formulation was developed for the polymer prepared from 1,6-hexamethylene diamine and 1,6hexamethylene diisocyanate. The resulting membrane is porous and highly permeable to water. However, salt rejection was found to be <20%, while high molecular weight solutes like milk, papain, and Na-alginate were found to be rejected 100%. The membrane is more like a sieve structure with the absence of an asymmetric layer. It is found to be resistant to many organic solvents, thus making it suitable for use in ultrafiltration applications.

Aliphatic-aromatic co-polyureas have been prepared using 1,4-bis (isocyanatomethyl)-2,5-dimethylbenzene and 1,5-bis(isocyanatomethyl)-2,4-dlmethylbenzene with various diamines. The polymers have been characterized by elemental analysis, TGA, DTA, IR, density and viscosity measurements.
## Abstract Infrared temperature studies of a polyurea formed from 2‐methylpentane‐1,5‐diamine and 4,4′‐methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate) are presented, together with those of two model diureas, 2‐methylpentane‐1,5‐diphenylurea and ethylene diphenylurea. The main thrust of the work concerns the inter
