The thermal stabilities and mechanical interfacial properties of a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) epoxy resin modified with different contents of polyethersulfone (PES) have been investigated. As a result, the curing reaction rate of DGEBA/PES blends was decreased with increasing the PES content. The blends exhibited slight decrease of thermal stabilities compared to the neat DGEBA. The mechanical interfacial properties, characterized by KIC, were significantly increased as the PES content increased.

Abstract Epoxy resins are very versatile polymers generally known not only for their adhesive and mechanical strengths but also their inherent thermo-oxidative stability. These properties have been widely exploited in many applications ranging from composites used aerospace components to electronics packaging. However neat epoxy materials suffer from relatively poor strain bearing ability and attempts to improve this brittle behaviour have been an area of many research interests. Toughening of epoxy using elastomers is not new and this is reflected in numerous publications and some have been successfully commercialised. This paper presents a relatively new method of incorporating a rubber modifier into Diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A (DEGBA) epoxy resin via the formation of an isocyanurate-oxazolidone-urethane structure. The synthesis involves several simultaneous reactions involving the following reactions: (a) epoxide and the isocyanate to form the oxazolidone, (b) trimerisation of the isocyanate to form isocyanurate and (c) isocyanate with polyols to form polyurethane. The synthesis and characterisation of the modified DEGBA resin will be presented. In addition, the effects of rubber content on the thermomechanical behaviour of the cured resin will also be discussed. In summary, it was found that the introduction of the isocyanurate-oxazolidone-urethane chemical groups into the epoxy molecular chain not only enhances the fracture toughness of the final resin but also improves on the thermal stability. This rubber-modified epoxy system shows excellent promise for adhesive and structural applications where thermal stability and fracture toughness are pre-requisites.

Thermal stability and thermal degradation kinetics of epoxy resins with 2-(Diphenylphosphinyl)-1, 4-benzenediol were investegated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at different heating rates of 5 K/min, 10 K/min, 20 K/min and 40 K/min. The thermal degradation kinetic mechanism and models of the modified epoxy resins were determined by Coast Redfern method.The results showed that epoxy resins modified with the flame retardant had more thermal stability than pure epoxy resin. The solid-state decomposition mechanism of epoxy resin and the modified epoxy resin corresponded to the controlled decelerating ځ˽̈́˰̵̳͂͆ͅ˼˰̴̱̾˰̸̵̈́˰̵̸̳̱̹̽̾̓̽˰̶̳̹̾̈́̿̾̓ͅ˰̶˸ځ˹˰̵̵͇͂˰̃˸́˽ځ˹2/3. The introduction of phosphorus-containing flame retardant reduced thermal degradation rate of epoxy resins in the primary stage, and promote the formation of carbon layer.

The correlation between the structural network of a diglycidyl ether of the bisphenol-A (DGEBA) epoxy resin, modified by two distinct aliphatic amines (tetraethylenepentamine TEPA and jeffamine D230), and its mechanical properties, was investigated as possible matrix for abrasive composites applications. Both flexural tests, to determine the yield stress and the elastic modulus, as well as impact tests to determine the notch toughness, were performed. The DGEBA/D230 presented the highest stiffness and toughness but lowest yield stress. This epoxy network also displayed a greater plastic deformation during fracture.

In this work, appropriate alternative for diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGEBA) was found to avoid the destructive effects of bisphenol A. Lignin, an aromatic compound from palm tree leaves, was used as a renewable material to synthesize a bio-based epoxy resin. Lignin extracted using Kraft pulping process. Kraft Lignin was epoxidized with epichlorohydrin in alkaline medium. Nano-titanium dioxide was used as filler with ratio of 10% to prepare the green epoxy composite. The structure of the Kraft lignin and lignin-based epoxy resin was proven via Infrared spectra (FT-IR) were recorded using solid KBr disk by testing Shimadzu (FT-IR-8300) spectrophotometer. The thermal properties of the curing process of lignin-based epoxy resin and composite were investigate using Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Potentiodynamic measurements data revealed that the anti-corrosion performance of the lignin based epoxy resin. The study demonstrates successful of epoxidation of Kraft lignin. In addition, lignin based eopxy resin showed effective inhibitor for carbon steel in 3.5 wt. % NaCl electrolyte solutions

Beyond the need to find a non-toxic alternative to DiGlycidyl Ether of Bisphenol-A (DGEBA), the serious subject of non-epichlorohydrin epoxy resins production remains a crucial challenge that must be solved for the next epoxy resin generations.
