1,6-Hexanediol is an organic compound that is frequently studied for its applications in polymer chemistry. It is a key monomer in the production of polyurethanes and polyester resins, where its diol functionality allows it to react with diisocyanates and diacid chlorides, respectively. The compound′s linear structure and symmetrical nature are of interest in research that aims to develop polymers with specific mechanical and thermal properties. In addition to its use as a monomer, 1,6-Hexanediol is investigated for its role as a chain extender in polymer systems, which can affect the molecular weight and polydispersity of the resulting materials. Research involving 1,6-Hexanediol is also focused on its potential to form polyesters that are biodegradable, as its aliphatic nature may lend itself to enzymatic degradation, which is important for creating more sustainable materials.
