Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The effect of different contents of fullerene on the properties of polyurethane resins (PUs), including rheology and thermal properties, was investigated. Polyurethane resins were prepared through polyaddition reactions using different isocyanate monomers such as isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and different polyols, such as poly(oxytetramethylene) glycol (PTMG), the triol trade name FA-703, and polypropylene glycols (PPG), at an NCO/OH ratio 0.94 and a temperature of 100 °C. IR spectroscopy was used to control the polymerization of PUs through the shifting of NCO peaks. The results showed that the rheology and thermal properties of the prepared PU resins depend on the type of isocyanates and fullerene used. Based on the type of isocyanates, the PU resin prepared by MDI has the highest viscosity and thermal stability compared to the other isocyanates investigated. On the other hand, the PU resins prepared by IPDI mixed with fullerene had the highest viscosity and thermal stability. However, the initial decomposition temperature (T onset) of the PUs decreased with the addition of fullerene without affecting the maximum decomposition temperature (PDTmax) of the PU resin.
