How to make a cross-link polymer thin film? Does anyone could provide a protocol?

12 December 2017 0 10K Report

I prepare to let the triol monomer and diisocyanate react in a mold to make a cross-linked polyurethane thin film. Do you think the concentration of 1mol/L triol and diisocyanate in NMP solvent is good enough to form the film? shoudl I make it more concentrate? I could't do the bulk polymerization in this case because my triol monomer is a solid but it is not stable in 100 oC degree so I couldn't heat it to dissolve to do bulk-polymerization.
