Cationic Catalyst as Latent Curing Agent for Epoxy Resin

Article Preview

Abstract:

1-Benzyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (BMH) was newly synthesized and characterized with FT-IR, 1H-NMR. We synthesized catalysts fulfill requirements for a rapid cure at a moderately elevated temperature in curing the epoxy resin for neat diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGBEA). The cure behavior of this resin was investigated at elevated temperature and cure temperature in the presence of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt% of 1-benzyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (BMH) by mean of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Chemical conversion as function of temperature and amount of BMH (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt%) were determined from DSC. It was found that BMH were superior latent thermal catalyst for catinonic curing which have a good thermal stability.
