epoxy resin

Carboxy-containing peroxy oligomer (CPO) has been synthesized via the reaction of peroxy derivative of ED-24 epoxy resin with free peroxy and epoxy groups with adipic acid in the presence of benzyl triethylammonium chloride. The effect of catalyst amount, reaction temperature and process time on the reaction rate has been determined. The effective rate constants and activation energies have been calculated. CPO synthesis procedure has been developed. CPO structure has been confirmed by chemical and IR-spectroscopic analyses.

Kinetic regularities of epoxy resins chemical modification by aliphatic and aromatic dibasic acids have been studied. The commercial dianic resins ED-20 and ED-24 were used as epoxy resins. Oxalic, malonic, succinic, sebacic, maleic, terephthalic and isophthalic acids were used as dibasic carboxylic acids. The effective rate constants and activation energies of the reactions between epoxy resin and acids by different nature have been calculated. The synthesis method for oligomers with epoxy and carboxy groups has been suggested.

New hydroxy-derived resin with primary hydroxy and epoxy groups has been synthesized on the basis of ED-20 epoxy resin and PolyTHF-2000 oligoether. The structures of the synthesized derivative and the product based on ED-20 epoxy resin and 1,4-butanediol which was synthesized by us earlier have been confirmed by IR- and NMR spectroscopy. The synthesized derivatives were investigated as polymeric components for bitumen-polymeric blends.

New oligomer with peroxy, primary and secondary hydroxy groups has been synthesized on the basis of peroxy derivative of ED-24 epoxy resin (PO) and PolyTHF-2000 oligoether according to the developed procedure. The effect of the catalysts nature and amount, temperature and process time on the reaction rate has been studied. Benzyltriethylammonium chloride, potassium hydroxide, 1,4-diazobicyclooctane and the mixture composed of benzyltriethylammonium chloride and KOH (molar ratio 1:1) were used as the catalysts.

The composition of products synthesized on the basis of ED-24 epoxy resin has been studied using reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography followed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC/ESI-MS). The synthesized products contain free hydroxy groups and such groups, as epoxy, peroxy, carboxy or acrylate.

Methods of oligomers (polymers) with hydroxy end-groups obtaining are examined. The synthesis of hydroxy-containing oligomers based on epoxy resins is of special attention. The molecules of mentioned oligomers apart from free primary and secondary hydroxy groups contain epoxy, peroxy, carboxy or acrylic groups.

Carboxy derivative of dioxydiphenylpropane diglycidyl ether monomethacrylate (CDE) containing the fragment of dianic epoxy resin, as well as free carboxy and methacrylic groups has been studied as a component of epoxy-oligoesteric and bitumen-polymeric mixtures. The epoxy-oligoesteric mixtures were investigated using ED-20 dianic epoxy resin, the crosslinking of which was carried out in the presence of polyethylene polyamine. Physico-mechanical properties and chemical stability of the coatings based on epoxy-oligoesteric mixtures with CDE were determined.
