Abstract
Bisphthalamic acids were prepared by reaction of phthalic anhydride and aromatic diamines. Novel poly(ester-amide)s were prepared by the reaction of epoxy resin with bisphthalamic acids. Acrylation of PEAs was carried out using acryloyl chloride and the products derived are acrylated poly(ester-amide)s. PEAs and APEAs were characterized by elemental analysis and by average molecular weight. IR spectra were also recorded for both PEAs and APEAs. Blending of APEAs was carried out with methyl methacrylate monomer. Curing of APEA—MMA blends was monitored on the differential scanning calorimeter. Composites of APEA—MMA blends were laminated and characterized. Unreinforced cured samples of the APEA—MMA blends were analyzed thermogravimetrically.
