Synthesis of Diglicydilesters with Alicyclic Imide Structure and Their Thermal and Tertiary Amine-Catalyzed Curing
The synthesis of new diglycidylester compounds with bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene units was carried out from the previously synthesized diimide-diacids and epichlorohydrin in excess using BTMA as catalyst. These compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques and have been cured either thermally or using 4-dimethylaminopyridine as tertiary amine catalyst. The study of curing reaction was carried out through thermal analysis of the reaction by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The concentration of the tertiary amine affects the reaction mechanism of epoxide curing, but it does not influence the thermal properties of the final product.
