Abstract

In this paper, water-dispersible polyurethanes based on isophorone diisocyanate and polytetramethylene glycol were synthesized, and their thermal degradation behavior under nitrogen and air was studied by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The influence of NCO/OH ratio and functional group concentration was discussed. The thermal decomposition kinetics under nonisothermal conditions was analyzed using Ozawa method.
