Chemical Modification of ED-24 Epoxy Resin by Adipic Acid

The possibility of epoxy resin carboxy-containing derivative (CDER) obtaining has been studied on the basis of dianic epoxy resin ED-24 and adipic acid (AA). The synthesized CDER contains epoxy and carboxy groups at the same time. Used catalysts were benzyltriethylammonium chloride (BTEACh); 1,4-diazobicyclo[2,2,2]octane; N,N-dimethylaminopyridine; 18-Crown-6, potassium hydroxide, triethylamine and 18-Crown-6+ZnCl2 catalytic system. The effect of the catalyst nature and amount, reagents ratio, process temperature and time on the reaction proceeding between ED-24 and AA has been determined.

Chemical Modification of Polyglycidyl Phenol-Formaldehyde Oligomers by Methacrylic Acid

A new oligomer with unsaturated double bonds in the side chains has been synthesized via chemical modification of polyglycidyl phenol-formaldehyde oligomers (PGPFO) by methacrylic acid (MA) using benzyltriethylammonium chloride as a catalyst. The effect of temperature and reaction time on the reaction proceeded between PGPFO and MA has been studied. The effective rate constants and activation energy of the reaction have been calculated. The structure of the synthesized oligomer has been confirmed by chemical and IR-spectroscopic analyses.
