【Abstract】 Polyether triol with molecular weight distribution index being 1\^3～1\^5 was prepared in yield around 50% by tetrahydrofuran polymerization using heteropolyacid\|H\-3PW 12 O 40 and ethylene oxide as initiator system and 1,1,1\|trihydroxymethylenepropane(TMP) as molecular weight controller.The average hydroxyl functionality was estimated by end\|group analysis and VPO to be close or equal to 3. The 1H NMR spectra showed that about 1/3 hydroxyl of TMP did not react with the propagating chains in the THF polymerization.Each of the unreacted hydroxyl groups of TMP attached to the middle or to the end of a diol chain as a pendent primary hydroxyl group forming the obtained polyether triol. All the hydroxyls of polyether triol were verified to be active enough towards 4,4′ methylene bis(phenyl isocynate) in the preparation of polyurethanes.更多还原
