Millimeter wave spectrum and search for vinyl isocyanate toward Sgr B2(N) with ALMA [PDF]
The interstellar detections of isocyanic acid, methyl isocyanate, and very recently also ethyl isocyanate, open the question of the possible detection of vinyl isocyanate in the interstellar medium. The aim of this study is to extend the laboratory rotational spectrum of vinyl isocyanate into the millimeter wave region and to undertake a check for its ...

First detection of C$_2$H$_5$NCO in the ISM and search of other isocyanates towards the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud [PDF]
Little is known about the chemistry of isocyanates (compounds with the functional group R-N=C=O) in the interstellar medium, as only four of them have been detected so far: isocyanate radical (NCO), isocyanic acid (HNCO), N-protonated isocyanic acid (H$_2$NCO$^+$) and methyl isocyanate (CH$_3$NCO).

Isocyanic acid (HNCO) in the Hot Molecular Core G331.512-0.103: Observations and Chemical Modelling [PDF]
Isocyanic acid (HNCO) is a simple molecule with a potential to form prebiotic and complex organic species. Using a spectral survey collected with the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX), in this work we report the detection of 42 transitions of HNCO in the hot molecular core/outflow G331.512-0.103 (hereafter G331).

The ALMA-PILS survey: Detection of CH$_{3}$NCO toward the low-mass protostar IRAS 16293-2422 and laboratory constraints on its formation [PDF]
Methyl isocyanate (CH$_{3}$NCO) belongs to a select group of interstellar molecules considered to be relevant precursors in the formation of larger organic compounds, including those with peptide bonds. The molecule has only been detected in a couple of high-mass protostars and potentially on comets.

Identification of pre-biotic molecules containing Peptide-like bond in a hot molecular core, G10.47+0.03 [PDF]
After hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, nitrogen is one of the most chemically active species in the interstellar medium (ISM). Nitrogen bearing molecules have great importance as they are actively involved in the formation of biomolecules. Therefore, it is essential to look for nitrogen-bearing species in various astrophysical sources, specifically around

The Effects of Acetylated Poplar Particles on Applicational Properties of manufactured Particleboards with Isocyanate Resin [PDF]
The capability of acetylated poplar particles with isocyanate resinin manufacturing particleboard was investigated. The acetylation degrees at high, medium, and zero (control) levels and type of resin (isocyanate and urea formaldehyde) were considered as

Isocyanate toughened pCBT: Reactive blending and tensile properties
Cyclic butylene terephthalate oligomers (CBT) were reacted in a ring-opening polymerization with three types of isocyanates: a bifunctional aromatic type, a bifunctional aliphatic type and a polymeric aromatic isocyanate.
