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 effect of Azo group on the Curing Kinetics of Epoxy/anhydride System was investigated and the result showed that Azo group served as a catalyst to accelerate the curing reaction. The curing mechanism was confirmed by the UV-Vis spectrum.

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.

Epoxy resin (EP) is one of the most famous thermoset materials. In general, because EP has a three-dimensional random network, it possesses thermal properties similar to those of a typical heat insulator. Recently, there has been substantial interest in controlling the network structure of EP to create new functionalities. Indeed, the modified EP, represented as liquid crystalline epoxy (LCE), is considered promising for producing novel functionalities, which cannot be obtained from conventional EPs, by replacing the random network structure with an oriented one. In this paper, we review the current progress in the field of LCEs and their application to highly thermally conductive composite materials.

Three class of novel liquid crystalline epoxy resins containing azomething groups: N,N’-Bis[4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)benzylidene]-4,4-diamino-diphenyl ether (p-BEPBDDE), N,N’-Bis[4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)benzylidene]-4,4-diamino-diphenyl methane (p-BEPBDDM) and N,N’-Bis[(4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-benzyliden)-1,4- phenylene diamine] (p-BEPBPD) were synthesized and characterized. The results show that p-BEBDDE and p-BEBDDM belong to smectic texture and melting point is 239.5 and 178 oC, respectively. The p-BEPBD is nematic texture between its melting temperature (Tm) of 192 oC and clearing temperature (Ti) of 238 oC. The curing reaction can be described by Ozawa equation, and the alcohol-hydroxyl group can accelerate the curing reaction and decrease Ea in DSC experiment.
