Oligomers with structural elements of imidazolidinetrione obtained from oxamic acid and oxamide: polyurethane foams modified by structural elements of imidazolidinetrione

Hydroxyalkyl derivatives containing oxamidoester and oxamide fragments have been separately obtained using oxamic acid, oxamide and alkylene carbonates. It has been proven that the presence of oxamidoester and oxamide structural fragments in oligomer structures is responsible for the thermal stability of these products. Rigid, thermally stable polyurethane foams were obtained with the use of oligomers with oxamidoestercarbamidoimide, carbamide, oxamidoester and oxamide groups as polyols components. The properties of these foamed materials were compared with each other and with the properties of reference foams. It was found that the polyurethane foams characterized by the best properties were obtained from hydroxypropyl derivatives of oxamide.
