Studies of vinyl ester resins and their urethanized derivatives

Abstract

The epoxy resins diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and triglycidyl p-amino phenol were reacted with acrylic acid to afford the corresponding acrylated resins. These vinyl ester resins were then reacted with toluene di-isocyanate to procure their urethanized derivatives. All these resins were characterized by their viscosity, number average molecular weight and infrared spectrophotometry. Curingconditions for these resins were established by differential scanning calorimetry. The results indicated that the curing reaction follows first-order kinetics, with activation energy in the range 53-84 kJ mol-. Styrene monomer was observed to lower the curing temperature of all resin systems when incorporated prior to curing.
