An improved analytical method enabling rapid and accurate determination and identification of bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (novolac glycidyl ether 2-ring), novolac glycidyl ether 3-ring, novolac glycidyl ether 4-ring, novolac glycidyl ether 5-ring, novolac glycidyl ether 6-ring, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, bisphenol A (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether, bisphenol A (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether, bisphenol A bis(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) ether, and bisphenol A (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) ether in canned food and their contact packaging materials has been developed by using, for the first time, ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. After comparison of electrospray ionization and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization in positive and negative-ion modes, tandem mass spectrometry with positive electrospray ionization was chosen to carry out selective multiple reaction monitoring analysis of novolac glycidyl ethers, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, and its derivatives. The analysis time is only 5.5 min per run. Limits of detection varied from 0.01 to 0.20 ng g(-1) for the different target compounds on the basis of a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) = 3; limits of quantitation were from 0.03 to 0.66 ng g(-1). The relative standard deviation for repeatability was <8.01%. Analytical recovery ranged from 87.60 to 108.93%. This method was successfully applied to twenty samples of canned food and their contact packaging materials for determination of migration of NOGE, BADGE, and their derivatives from can coatings into food.

Determination of bisphenol-type contaminants from food packaging materials in aqueous foods by solid-phase microextraction-high-performance liquid chromatography

A fast screening method consisting of off-line solid-phase microextraction coupled to HPLC and fluorescence detection, suitable for the analysis of several bisphenol derivatives and their degradation products in aqueous solution, has been developed. Detection limits of 0.7 ng ml(-1) for 2,2-bis[4-(glycidyloxy)phenyl]propane, 0.9 ng ml(-1) for bisphenol A bis(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)ether, 1.1 ng ml(-1) for 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane and 2.4 ng ml(-1) for bisphenol F diglycidyl ether have been achieved working in the linear range 10-500 ng ml(-1). The good analytical features achieved make the proposed method an interesting option for the direct determination of these compounds in aqueous canned food such as peas, tuna, olives, maize, artichokes or palm hearts. Both the optimization process and the results, including the analysis of real samples, are given and discussed.     

Application of two-dimensional NMR techniques for the elucidation of the proton spectrum of the epoxy monomer,diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A

The application of two-dimensional Fourier transform NMR spectroscopy to the study of the epoxy resin diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A is discussed.

Microwave‐assisted extraction followed by RP‐HPLC for the simultaneous extraction and determination of forsythiaside A,rutin, and phillyrin in the fruits of Forsythia suspensa

An optimized microwave‐assisted extraction (MAE) method and RP‐HPLC method were developed for the simultaneous extraction and determination of rutin, forsythiaside A, and phillyrin in the fruits of Forsythia suspensa. The key parameters of the open‐vessel MAE process were optimized. A mixed solvent of methanol and water (70:30, v/v) was most suitable for the simultaneous extraction of the three components. The sample was soaked for 10 min before extraction. The optimized conditions were: microwave power 400 W, temperature 70°C, solvent‐to‐material ratio 30 mL/g, and extraction time 1 min. Compared to conventional extraction methods, the proposed method can simultaneously extract the three components in high yields and was proved to be a more rapid method with a lower solvent consumption. The optimized HPLC–photodiode array detection analysis was validated to have good linearity, precision, accuracy, and sensitivity. The developed MAE followed by RP‐HPLC is a fast and appropriate method for the simultaneous extraction and determination of rutin, forsythiaside A, and phillyrin in the fruits of F. suspensa.     

Quantification of derivatives of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and novolac glycidyl ether (NOGE) migrated from can coatings into tuna by HPLC/fluorescence and MS detection

A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method combined with fluorescence and mass spectrometric detection in series is presented for the separation and quantification of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and novolac glycidyl ether (NOGE) derivatives in extracts from food can coatings, tuna and oil. Fifteen samples of tuna cans bought in four European countries were investigated. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry in the positive ion mode (APCI(+)-MS) allowed to tentatively identify BADGE and NOGE related compounds originating from reactions of the glycidyl ethers with bisphenols, phenol, butanol, water and hydrochloric acid. Quantification was based on the external standard method and fluorescence detection. Mass fractions up to 3.7 micrograms/g were found for hydrochlorination products of bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE + 2HCl) in tuna. Furthermore, total migration quantities of phenolic ether compounds were estimated. The highest values found were 20 micrograms/g in tuna and 43 micrograms/g in the oil phase.     

Determination of Compounds from Epoxy Resins in Food Simulants by HPLC-Fluorescence

Summary A fluorimetric-detection RP-HPLC method is developed for the separation and quantification of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE), its hydrolysis and chlorohydroxy derivatives, and NOGE and BADGE oligomers. This method was applied to test an epoxy resin used as a coating for food contact packaging materials with two different heat treatments in the curing process. Migration of these compounds was evaluated in three food simulants: 3% (w/v) acetic acid, 10% (v/v) ethanol, rectified olive oil and also in acetonitrile. A simple extraction procedure was also applied to obtain olive oil extracts. Quantification was performed by using external calibration, and correlation coefficients were greater than 0,996 and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.02 mg L^–1 for all substances. HPLC-MS method was applied to confirm derivatives and oligomers identity.Presented at: International Symposium on Separation and Characterization of Natural and Synthetic Macromolecules, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, February 5–7, 2003     

Identification of RP-HPLC peaks of bisphenol F and of bisphenol F diglycidyl ether and its hydrolysis products by thermospray mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

Peaks were identified by reversed-phase HPLC thermospray mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.     

Reaction‐induced phase separation in epoxy/polysulfone/poly(ether imide) systems. I. Phase diagrams

Epoxy–aromatic diamine formulations are simultaneously modified with two immiscible thermoplastics (TPs), poly(ether imide) (PEI) and polysulfone (PSF). The epoxy monomer is based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and the aromatic diamines (ADs) are either 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone or 4,4′‐methylenebis(3‐chloro 2,6‐diethylaniline). The influence of the TPs on the epoxy–amine kinetics is investigated. It is found that PSF can act as a catalyst. The presence of the TP provokes an increase of the gel times. Cloud‐point curves (temperature vs. composition) are shown for epoxy/PSF/PEI and epoxy/PSF/PEI/AD initial mixtures. Phase separation conversions are reported for the reactive mixtures with various TP contents and PSF/PEI proportions. On the basis of phase separation and gelation curves, conversion–composition phase diagrams at constant temperature are generated for both systems. These diagrams can be used to design particular cure cycles to generate different morphologies during the phase separation process, which is discussed in the second part of this series. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Simultaneous determination of fifteen multiclass organic pollutants in human saliva and serum by liquid chromatography–tandem ultraviolet/fluorescence detection: A validated method

A quick and inexpensive validated method, based on sample treatment by liquid–liquid microextraction followed by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with ultraviolet tandem fluorescence detection is proposed for the determination of 15 multiclass pollutants both in serum and in saliva, as a simple and easy to draw matrix. The method was set up and validated according to European guidelines. The compounds of interest include some endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (i.e. bisphenol A, bisphenol B, bisphenol E, bisphenol F, bisphenol AF, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, bisphenol M, diethylhexyl phthalate, monoethylhexyl phthalate, triclosan and 4‐nonylphenol), as well as other pollutants belonging to the class of volatile organic compounds (2‐chlorophenol, 1,2 dichlorobenzene, 1,2,4,5‐tetrachlorobenzene). The limits of quantifications ranged from 2.28 × 10^?3 μg mL^?1 (bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) to 6.29 μg mL^?1 (diethylhexyl phthalate), while those of detection ranged from 0.068 × 10^?3 μg mL^?1 (bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) to 1.031 μg mL^?1 (diethylhexyl phthalate). To test method suitability, it was applied to real saliva and serum samples of healthy human volunteers and was found to meet the demands of the laboratories handling simple and relatively inexpensive equipment for screening oriented at rapid and reliable contamination assessment of a population.     

Recyclable carbon fiber‐reinforced plastics (CFRP) containing degradable acetal linkages: Synthesis,properties, and chemical recycling

Two epoxy resins containing degradable acetal linkages were synthesized by the reaction of cresol novolak‐type phenolic resin (CN) with vinyl ethers containing a glycidyl group [cyclohexane dimethanol vinyl glycidyl ether (CHDMVG) and 4‐vinyloxybutyl glycidyl ether (VBGE). Carbon fiber‐reinforced plastics (CFRPs) were prepared by heating laminated prepreg sheets with CN‐CHDMVG resin (derived from CN and CHDMVG) and CN‐VBGE resin (derived from CN and VBGE), in which carbon fibers are impregnated with epoxy resins containing curing agents [dicyandiamide (DICY)] and curing accelerator [3‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)‐1,1‐dimethylurea (DCMU)]. CN‐CHDMVG‐based CFRPs and CN‐VBGE‐based CFRPs exhibited almost the same tensile strength as the conventional bisphenol‐A‐based CFRPs. CN‐CHDMVG‐based CFRPs and CN‐VBGE‐based CFRPs underwent smooth breakdown with the treatment of hydrochloric acid in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature for 24 h to regenerate strands of carbon fibers. The surface conditions of the recovered carbon fibers had little changes during degradation and recovery processes on the basis of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The recovered carbon fibers exhibited almost the same tensile strength as virgin carbon fibers and hence would be reused for the production of CFRPs. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Kinetics of Photocationically Curable Formulations Involving Glycerol Diglycidyl Ether and Phenyl Glycidyl Ether

Kinetic analysis of formulations based on glycerol diglycidyl ether and phenyl glycidyl ether were carried out in the presence of sulfonium salt as initiator at 35 mW cm^?2using photo differential scanning calorimeter and the final conversion was found to increase with an increase in phenyl glycidyl ether content. The effects of formulation monomer ratios at three different temperatures were studied. The variations in the observed kinetic parameters can be related to increase in mobility of reactive species with temperature, distance of counter ion from the propagating cationic center, as well as extent of crosslinking reaction which controlled the course and duration of the reaction. The applicability of autocatalytic kinetic model was also evaluated and the system underwent early gelation and the activation energy decreased with an increase in phenyl glycidyl ether content. Analysis of stable photocured films containing glycerol diglycidyl ether and phenyl glycidyl ether showed better thermal stability than rigid films obtained with glycerol diglycidyl ether.     

Reaction‐induced phase separation in epoxy/polysulfone/poly(ether imide) systems. II. Generated morphologies

Epoxy–aromatic diamine formulations are simultaneously modified with two immiscible thermoplastics (TPs), poly(ether imide) (PEI) and polysulfone (PSF), in concentrations ranging from 5 to 15 wt %. The epoxy monomer is based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and the aromatic diamines (ADs) are either 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) or 4,4′‐methylenebis(3‐chloro 2,6‐diethylaniline) (MCDEA). Using phase diagrams developed in Part I of this series, thermal cycles are selected to generate different morphologies. It is found that, whatever the AD employed, a particulate morphology is obtained when curing blends that are initially homogeneous. In the case of DDS‐cured blends, a unimodal particle size distribution of PSF and PEI dispersed in a continuous epoxy‐rich phase is observed. By contrast, the MCDEA‐cured blends show a bimodal particle size distribution for all PSF/PEI relations that are analyzed. A completely different morphology, characterized by a distribution of irregular TP‐rich domains dispersed in an epoxy‐rich phase (double phase morphology), is obtained when curing blends that are initially immiscible. An X‐ray analysis of the different phases makes it possible to determine their qualitative composition. The dynamic mechanical behavior of fully cured blends is also discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 42: 3964–3975, 2004     

Anionic alternating copolymerization of epoxide and six‐membered lactone bearing naphthyl moiety

This article describes the anionic copolymerization of glycidyl phenyl ether (GPE) and 1,2‐dihydro‐3H‐naphtho[2,1‐b]pyran‐3‐one (DHNP), a six‐membered aromatic lactone bearing naphthyl moiety. The copolymerization proceeded in a 1:1 alternating manner, to afford the corresponding polyester. The ester linkage in the main chain was cleavable by reduction with lithium aluminum hydride to give the corresponding diol that inherited the structure of the alternating sequence. The copolymerization ability of DHNP permitted its addition as a comonomer to an imidazole‐initiated polymerization of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether. The resulting networked polymer, of which main chain was endowed with the DHNP‐derived rigid naphthalene moieties, showed a higher glass transition temperature than that obtained similarly with using 3,4‐dihydrocoumarin (DHCM) as a comonomer, an analogous aromatic lactone bearing phenylene moiety instead of naphthalene moiety of DHNP. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
