New thermosetting resin from poly(p-vinylphenol) based benzoxazine and epoxy resin
Poly(p-vinylphenol) (VP) based benzoxazine was prepared from VP, formaline, and aniline. The curing behavior of the benzoxazine with the epoxy resin and the properties of the cured resin were investigated. Consequently, the curing reaction did not proceed at low temperatures, but it proceeded rapidly at higher temperatures without a curing accelerator. The reaction induction time or cure time of the molten mixture from VP based benzoxazine and epoxy resin was found to decrease, compared with those from conventional bisphenol A based benzoxazine and epoxy resin. The curing reaction rate of VP based benzoxazine and epoxy resin increased more than that of conventional bisphenol A based benzoxazine and epoxy resin. The properties of the cured resin from neat resins and from reinforced resins with fused silica were evaluated. The cured resins from VP based benzoxazine and epoxy resin showed good heat resistance, mechanical properties, electrical insulation, and water resistance compared to the cured resin from VP and epoxy resin using imidazole as the catalyst.
