Thermal decomposition of 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulphone

The thermal decomposition of 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulphone (DDS) was studied by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and thermal volatilisation analysis. Solid residues, high-boiling and gaseous products of degradation were collected at each step of thermal decomposition and analysed by infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

On programmed heating at normal pressure, DDS starts to evaporate at 250°C. Thermal decomposition, which probably proceeds through homolytic scission of the S-C bond is simultaneously observed. The resulting sulphonyl radicals provoke polymerisation and cross-linking of the solid residue which undergoes a limited degradation at 350°C with elimination of heteroatoms N and S as volatile moieties. Above 400°C, the residue undergoes a complex charring process leading to an aromatic char typical of carbonised aromatic polymers.     

The influence of the amount of hardener on the tensile mechanical behavior of an epoxy system

The tensile mechanical behavior of an epoxy/amine system, with varying amounts of hardener, was evaluated. The results showed that a brittle to ductile transition occurs as the amount of hardener is increased. This behavior was associated with the change in the number of molecular segments that present mobility in the macromolecular network. The epoxy-rich formulations are brittle due to the total consumption of the functional groups on the hardener molecule. On the other hand, the amine-rich formulations showed a fracture behavior characteristic of materials with large deformation capacity. This behavior was associated with the presence of unreacted points on the hardener molecule which introduce a new mobile molecular segment in the macromolecular network formed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Curing reaction of o-cresol novolac epoxy resin according to hardener change

The investigations of cure kinetics and glass transition temperature (T_g) versus reaction conversion (α) of o-cresol novolac epoxy resin with the change of hardener were performed. All kinetic parameters of the curing reaction such as the reaction rate order, activation energy, and frequency factor were calculated. The curing mechanisms were classified into two types. One was an autocatalytic mechanism and the other was a nth order kinetic mechanism. The constants related to the chain mobility of polymer segments were obtained by using the DiBenedetto equation. We have tried to correlate the relationships between curing mechanism and molecular structures of hardeners from these results. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Reaction of glycidyl phenyl ether with imines: A model study of latent hardeners of epoxy resins in the presence of water

The hydrolyses of several imines and their reactions with glycidyl phenyl ether were examined under highly humid conditions as a model study for the development of water‐initiated hardeners for epoxy resins. Diethyl ketone‐based imines were hydrolyzed more efficiently than methyl isobutyl ketone‐based imines. The reactions of glycidyl phenyl ether with the imines depended on their hydrolysis rates and the basicity of the amines generated from them. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Epoxy resins cured with aminophenylmethylphosphine oxide 1: Combustion performance

The kinetics of curing tetraglycidyl 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane (TGDDM) or of the mixture TGDDM/diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) by bis(m-aminophenyl)methylphosphine oxide (BAMPO) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry. At low advancement of curing (<50%), the low activation energy interaction between epoxy and amino groups seems to be controlled by diffusion, whereas above 50% the role of homopolymerization tends to increase and the process becomes chemically controlled. BAMPO shows a higher fire-retardant effectiveness in the mixture TGDDM/DGEBA than in TGDDM or DGEBA alone, for which the oxygen and nitrous oxide index tests suggest a condensed phase or a gas phase fire-retardant action depending on phosphorus content. An intumescent char is formed on the surface of burning fire-retarded specimens which tends, however, to be oxidized, thus reducing the fire-proofing effect at high BAMPO content.     

Curing reaction of biphenyl epoxy resin with different phenolic functional hardeners

The investigation of cure kinetics and relationships between glass transition temperature and conversion of biphenyl epoxy resin (4,4′-diglycidyloxy-3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl biphenyl) with different phenolic hardeners was performed by differential scanning calorimeter using an isothermal approach over the temperature range 120–150°C. All kinetic parameters of the curing reaction including the reaction order, activation energy, and rate constant were calculated and reported. The results indicate that the curing reaction of formulations using xylok and dicyclopentadiene type phenolic resins (DCPDP) as hardeners proceeds through a first-order kinetic mechanism, whereas the curing reaction of formulations using phenol novolac as a hardener goes through an autocatalytic kinetic mechanism. The differences of curing reaction with the change of hardener in biphenyl epoxy resin systems were explained with the relationships between T_g and reaction conversion using the DiBenedetto equation. A detailed cure mechanism in biphenyl-type epoxy resin with the different hardeners has been suggested. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 773–783, 1998

Preparation of epoxy-acrylic latex based on bisphenol F epoxy resin

Bisphenol F based epoxy-acrylic latex with different amount of epoxy resin was successfully prepared by semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization. The resulting composite latexes had a narrow size distribution of about 105 nm in diameter. The DSC result showed that the epoxy resin and polyacrylate were grafting copolymerization. The FTIR spectra showed that the epoxy group had been introduced into the epoxy acrylic latex system, and the composite latex could be crosslinked with epoxy hardener at room temperature. The crosslinked composite latex film exhibited a high Tg compared to epoxy-acrylic latexes. The surface of the films with the epoxy resin was regular, and diffused into the polyacrylate phase in the epoxy-acrylic latexes films. Since the curing reactions occurred before latex particle coalescence stage, the surfaces of the cured epoxy-acrylate latex films had a number of interface particle. Compared with the acrylic latex, the thermal stability of the epoxy-acrylate latex was increased, and the stability of the cured film increased with increasing epoxy content.
