Abstract:
Various polyurethanes containing photoactive bis(azo) and bis(o-nitrobenzyl)
groups in the main chain were synthesized by polyaddition reactions of diols such
as bis(4-hydroxyphenylazo)-2,20-dinitrodiphenylmethane, 4-hydroxy-3-methylphenylazo-
40-hydroxyphenylazo-2,20-dinitrodiphenylmethane and bis(4-hydroxy-3-
methylphenylazo)-2,20-dinitrodiphenylmethane with hexamethylene di-isocyanate
(HMDI), in dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) in the presence of di-n-butyltin dilaurate
(DBTDL) as catalyst. All of them were characterized by IR, UV-vis, 1H NMR and
13C NMR spectra and also by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
