TPU for RTM

Patent Title: THERMOPLASTIC PUR WITH HIGH TG FOR REACTION TRANSFER MOLDING (RTM)

 Number/Link: WO2018/050433

Applicant/Assignee:  Henkel

Publication date: 22 march 2018

“Gist”:  High Tg TPU from polycyclic diols

Why it is interesting: The invention is about thermoplastic polyurethanes with high Tg and high stiffness that are useful for fiber-reinforced composites made by (reactive) resin transfer moulding.  The TPU is prepared from an isocyanate, a conventional diol chain extender and at least 25% (w/w) of a bridged- fused- or spiro- polycyclic diol. In the examples MDI is reacted with 1,2-propanediol or 2,3-butandiol and 4,8-bis(hydroxymethyl)tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane. The resulting TPUs show a Tg of more than 135°C.

Aliphatic Polyisocyanurate Composites

Patent Title: METHOD FOR PRODUCING A POLYISOCYANURATE COMPOSITE MATERIAL

 Number/Link: WO 2017/191216  (German)

Applicant/Assignee:  Covestro

Publication date: 9 November 2017

“Gist”: Partially trimerized aliphatic diisocyanates are mixed with glass fiber and reacted using a trimerization catalyst

Why it is interesting: Conventional fiber-reinforced composites based on unsaturated polyesters, epoxies, polyurethane and the like are not weather-stable and need to be coated for outdoor use. Weather stable polyisocyanurate composites are known (WO2007/096216 – Huntsman) but are based on aromatic diisocyanates and show high reactivity and short ‘pot life’. According to this invention, PIR composites with improved reaction profile and weatherability can be prepared from partially trimerized aliphatic diisocyanates with a diisocyanate monomer content of less than 20% (w/w). In the examples commercially available HDI and IPDI trimer is used together with short glass fiber and a potassium acetate/PEG 400 blend as catalyst cured at a temperature of 160 to 180°C.

SiC-PU Nanocomposites

Patent Title: POLYURETHANE/UREA SILICON CARBIDE NANOCOMPOSITE

 Number/Link: WO2017/027231

Applicant/Assignee: 3M

Publication date: 16-feb-2017

“Gist”: Surface modified SiC particles are dispersed in and covalently bound to a polyurethane matrix

Why it is interesting: Silicon carbide (carborundum) particles with an average particle size of about 500 nm are NCO-functionalized by reacting with a surface modfifying agent, e.g 2-triethoxysilylpropylisocyanate. The modified particles are then dispersed and covalently reacted into a polyurethane/polyurea matrix in an amount of 50-55% (w/w) on the composition. The composites can be made into highly erosion resistant films, for use on the outer surface of aircraft.
