Curing kinetics, mechanism and chemorheological behavior of methanol etherified amino/novolac epoxy systems

The curing kinetics and mechanism of epoxy novolac resin (DEN) and modified epoxy novolac resin (MDEN) with methanol etherified amino resin were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and chemorheological analysis. Their kinetics p...

description The curing kinetics and mechanism of epoxy novolac resin (DEN) and modified epoxy novolac resin (MDEN) with methanol etherified amino resin were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and chemorheological analysis. Their kinetics parameters and models of the curing were examined utilizing isoconversional methods, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Friedman methods. For the DEN mixture, its average activation energy (Ea) was 71.05 kJ/mol and the autocatalytic model was established to describe the curing reaction. The MDEN mixture exhibited three dominant curing processes, termed as reaction 1, reaction 2 and reaction 3; and their Ea were 70.05, 106.55 and 101.91 kJ/mol, respectively. Besides, Ea of reaction 1 was similar to that of DEN mixture, while Ea of reactions 2 and 3 corresponded to that of the etherification reaction between hydroxyl and epoxide group. Moreover, these three dominant reactions were nth order in nature. Furthermore, their curing mechanisms were proposed from the results of DSC and FTIR. The chemorheological behavior was also investigated to obtain better plastics products via optimizing the processing schedules.
