Investigation of Curing Kinetics of Azo-Containing Twin Liquid Crystalline Epoxy Resins with Anhydride

Article Preview

Abstract:

A series of novel azo-containing twin liquid crystalline (LC) epoxy monomers were cured with anhydrides without extra catalyst and the curing kinetics was investigated by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. The results showed that the effect of phase behavior on activation energy (Ea) was very great. The chemical kinetic control and diffusion control mechanisms dominant the curing together, which gives a larger value of Ea. Azo group also served as a catalyst to accelerate the curing reaction.
