Abstract
In this study, dicyandiamide (DCD) was modified with o-aminoacetophenone to synthesize a new curing agent for epoxy resin (EP), called o-acetylphenylguanidine (o-APG). The experimental results showed that the yield of o-APG could reach 85.79 % under the optimal ratio. The structure of o-APG was characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The result deduced that the compatibility of o-APG with EP was significantly improved because CN reacted to form the CNH group. The curing kinetics of the reaction of EP cured with o-APG was investigated via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) by using the methods of Kissinger, Ozawa, Starink, and Friedman. The DSC analysis result showed that curing temperature was reduced by about 50 °C compared with the DCD-cured EP.
期刊介绍:
Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.
The journal focuses on the research that advances physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena. Therefore, the manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose significant improvements of analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. Manuscripts that report the results of routine thermal measurements are not suitable for publication in Thermochimica Acta.
The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:
- New and improved instrumentation and methods
- Thermal properties and behavior of materials
- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processes
