Chemical Recycling of Epoxide-Anhydride Hardened Networks Using Near-Critical Water

Article Preview

Abstract:

The degradation behaviour of an anhydride-cured bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) epoxy resin in near-critical water was studied in this paper. The experiments were performed in a stainless steel reactor (100ml) without stirring. Epoxy resin could be decomposed successfully at 270°C for 30 min. The degradation rate of epoxy resin increased with an increase in reaction temperature and reaction pressure. The degradation reaction products were characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The degradation reaction was associated with the scission of ester and ether bonds which further destabilizes the epoxy network.
