Preparation and properties of glucose derivatives having polymerizable group I - Characterization of glucose derivatives prepared with methacryl isocyanate compound

In this study, glucose derivatives as novel binders for fiber board, 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl carbamate glucose (MOCG), was prepared by reaction of 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl isocyanate (MOI) and OH group of glucose. MOCGs which controlled the substitution degree were also prepared by changing the molar ratio of glucose and MOL The MOCGs were polymerized and physical properties of MOCG homopolymers were evaluated. High substituted MOCG homopolyer showed excellent mechanical property and thermal stability. On the other hand, physical properties of low substituted MOCG homopolymer was lowered by the aggregation of the glucose unit.
