Uses
Octadecyl Isocyanate is a useful reagent for the surface modification of poly(Me methacrylate) (PMMA) to form PMMA surfaces terminated with well-ordered and highly crystalline octadecane chains.
Uses
Octadecyl isocyanate (
n-octadecyl isocyanate) was employed for chemical modification of:
- surface of cellulose nanocrystals to promote interfacial filler/matrix interactions
- poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) films, to investigate in vitro hemocompatibility assay using freshly drawn human whole blood
- cellulose nanocrystals (or whiskers) and microfibrillated cellulose (MFC)
Uses
Octadecyl isocyanate can be used as a modifier:
- For cellulose nanocrystals in the synthesis of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) based nanocomposites with improved mechanical and rheological properties.
- For lignin to effectively incorporate the lignin fillers in polyurethane matrix to prepare composites.
It can be reacted with various amines to synthesize variety of unsymmetrical urea derivatives.
Safety Profile
Poison by intravenous
route. A flammable liquid. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
