A series of flame-retardant epoxy resins (EP) with different content of poly(DOPO substituted dihydroxyl phenyl pentaerythritol diphosphonate) (PFR) were prepared. The PFR was synthesized via the polycondensation between 10-(2,5-dihydroxyl phenyl)-9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO-BQ) and pentaerythritol diphosphonate dichloride (SPDPC). The structure of PFR was confirmed by...
The influence on the curing process of a commercial hydroxy-functionalized hyperbranched poly(ester-amide) (HBP) Hybrane ® S1200 on diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) was studied. By Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) the curing reaction was studied and the covalent incorporation of the modifier in the matrix was proved. By Thermomechanical...
Epoxy resins are increasingly used in cryogenic engineering areas due to rapid developments of spacecraft and superconducting cable technologies as well as large cryogenic engineering projects (e.g., International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). Cryogenic mechanical properties are important parameters for epoxy resins to be employed in such areas. In this paper, a traditional reactive aliphatic...
A novel epoxy resin containing imide and naphthyl groups was synthesized, and characterized using NMR, NMR, FT-IR spectra and elemental analyses. The curing behavior was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) as curing agent. The physical properties of the cured polymer were evaluated with dynamic thermal mechanical analysis (DMTA) and thermogravimetric...
Block copolymer modified epoxy resins have generated significant interest since it was demonstrated that the combination could lead to nanostructured thermosets through self-assembly. Over moderate to high polymer concentration the system behaves as expected for a block copolymer in a solvent selective for one block. Two types of copolymers have been studied: non-reactive and reactive modifiers. Morphologies...
Mannich condensation was utilized to synthesize poly(hydroxyether of bisphenol A)-block-polydimethylsiloxane alternating block copolymer (PH-alt-PDMS). The polymerization between the phenolic hydroxyl-terminated oligo(hydroxyether of bisphenol A) and amino-terminated oligodimethylsiloxane with the defined lengths was carried out via the formation of benzoxazine ring linkages, which was mediated with...
Poly(ɛ-caprolactone)-block-polydimethylsiloxane-block-poly(ɛ-caprolactone) triblock copolymer (PCL-b-PDMS-b-PCL) was synthesized via the ring-opening polymerization of ɛ-caprolactone with dihydroxypropyl-terminated PDMS (HTPDMS) as the initiator. The triblock block copolymer was characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR)...
A novel method for producing epoxy resin-containing microcapsules via UV-initiated radical copolymerization in an epoxy emulsion was developed. Epoxydiacrylates and a polymerizable emulsifier were employed as the wall-formers, which tended to accumulate at the exterior layer of epoxy colloids during the emulsification process. Upon exposure to UV light, the shell phase consisting of the wall-formers...
A series of novel novolac epoxy resins containing naphthalene moiety with different molecular weights were synthesized via condensation of bisphenol A and 1-naphthaldehyde, followed by epoxidation with epichlorohydrin. The chemical structure of the naphthalene epoxy thus obtained was characterized using FTIR, 1 H NMR spectra and GPC analyses. The naphthalene epoxy was cured with 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl...
This paper investigates the decomposition mechanism and fire performance of high performance epoxy amine resins and laminate systems, using thermogravimetry (TGA), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), cone calorimetry and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). Two different, commercially-important epoxy resins, tetraglycidyl methylene dianiline (TGDDM) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol...
Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) is one of the most widely used epoxy resins for many industrial applications, including cryogenic engineering. In this paper, diethyl toluene diamine (DETD) cured DGEBA epoxy resin has been modified by two flexible diamines (D-230 and D-400). The cryogenic mechanical behaviors of the modified epoxy resins are studied in terms of the tensile properties and Charpy...
A facile technique was built to fabricate epoxy-based composite film with graphite nanosheets (GN) alignment. GN were coated with magnetite nanoparticles and dispersed ultrasonically in epoxy resin. The homogeneous suspension was then cast on a poly(tetrafluoroethylene) substrate and subjected to an external unidirectional magnetic field before the mixture got solidified. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and...
A new epoxy resin containing both naphthalene and dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) groups was synthesized to produce a highly heat-resistant network, and the curing behavior was investigated using diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) as curing agent. The chemical structures were characterized with FTIR spectroscopy, NMR, MS, and GPC analyses. Dynamic curing behavior was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry...
In the present study, a new method was developed to construct atomistic molecular models of crosslinked polymers based on commercially important epoxy resin. This method employed molecular dynamics/molecular mechanics schemes and assumed close proximity. The generic Dreiding2.21 force-field and advanced compass force-field were used for the construction of models and prediction of properties, respectively...
Hydroxyl terminated poly(ether ether ketone) based on tert-butyl hydroquinone (PEEKTOH) was used to modify a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A epoxy resin. A diamine, 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfone was used as the curing agent. Isothermal differential scanning calorimetric measurements of the blends were carried out at 180, 165 and 150°C. The extent of reaction was found to decrease with the addition of...
Bis(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl phosphonate (BAPP) was used in various ratios in combination with diethyltoluenediamine (DETDA) to investigate the effect of increasing phosphorous addition upon the thermal and mechanical properties of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and tetra glycidyl dimethylenedianiline (TGDDM) based epoxy networks. Increasing phosphorous content was shown to decrease the temperature...

The POSS-containing nanocomposites of epoxy resin were prepared via the co-curing reaction between octa(propylglycidyl ether) polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OpePOSS) and the precursors of epoxy resin. The curing reactions were started from the initially homogeneous ternary solution of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA), 4,4′-Diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) and OpePOSS. The nanocomposites...
The classic Fickian approach for describing the kinetics of liquid diffusion/absorption in solids was supplemented some 25 years ago by the 2-phase model of Carter and Kibler, referred to by them (modestly) as ‘Langmuir-type’. Their theory assumes the existence of ‘mobile’ and ‘bound’ diffusant molecules. In this contribution, we have studied water uptake by an epoxy resin, using gravimetry, and found...
