Abstract
The kinetics of the addition of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) to 2,4-Tolyene diisocyanate(2,4-TDI) were studied at the temperature of 25°C, 30°C and 38°C. Reactant and product concentrations were monitored by liquid chromatography.
The rate equations for the series-parallel second order reaction have been developed and integrated by the Runge Kutta-Gill method. The results show that the para
group is about 12 times more reactive than that of the corresponding ortho group with the HEMA hydroxyl group at 25°C, and small amount of HEMA diadduct invariably produced.
