The effect of different contents of fullerene on the properties of polyurethane resins (PUs), including rheology and thermal properties, was investigated. Polyurethane resins were prepared through polyaddition reactions using different isocyanate monomers such as isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and different polyols, such as poly(oxytetramethylene) glycol (PTMG), the triol trade name FA-703, and polypropylene glycols (PPG), at an NCO/OH ratio 0.94 and a temperature of 100 °C. IR spectroscopy was used to control the polymerization of PUs through the shifting of NCO peaks. The results showed that the rheology and thermal properties of the prepared PU resins depend on the type of isocyanates and fullerene used. Based on the type of isocyanates, the PU resin prepared by MDI has the highest viscosity and thermal stability compared to the other isocyanates investigated. On the other hand, the PU resins prepared by IPDI mixed with fullerene had the highest viscosity and thermal stability. However, the initial decomposition temperature (T onset) of the PUs decreased with the addition of fullerene without affecting the maximum decomposition temperature (PDTmax) of the PU resin.
