✦ Synopsis

N-Methylaniline-, diphenylamine-, and N-phenylnaphthylamine-blocked toluene diisocyanates (TDI) were prepared and characterized by IR, NMR spectroscopy, and nitrogen content analyses. The structure-property relationship of these adducts was established by reacting with hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB). The cure rate of the adduct increases from the N-phenylnaphthylamine-to diphenylamine-and to N-methylaniline-blocked TDI adduct. Simultaneous TGA/DTA results also confirm this trend, and the thermal stability of the adduct decreases in the following order: N-phenylnaphthylamine-TDI Ͼ diphenylamine-TDI Ͼ N-methylaniline-TDI. The gas chromatogram of the amine-blocked isocyanate confirms that the thermolysis products are the blocking agent and isocyanate. The solubilities of the adducts were carried out in polyether, polyester, and hydrocarbon polyols, and it was found that the N-methylaniline-TDI adduct shows higher solubility than the rest and also found that the polyester polyol shows higher solvating power against the adducts than the polyether and hydrocarbon polyols.
