A study of the polymerization of a monofunctional benzoxazine monomer based on phenol and aniline and its copolymerization with epoxy resins

Abstract

In the work, the liquid monofunctional benzoxazine monomer based on phenol and aniline (P-a) was synthesized in melt and benzoxazine-epoxy compositions based on it were obtained. The processes of polymerization of a benzoxazine monomer and its copolymerization with epoxy resins of various structures and functionality in catalyzed and non-catalyzed systems have been investigated, and the rheological properties of the compositions have been evaluated. For the obtained polybenzoxazines and benzoxazine-epoxy copolymers, the thermal characteristics were determined, in particular, the glass transition temperature, the temperature of the onset of intense destruction and the coke residue. It has been established that the structure and functionality of epoxy resins have a different effect on the thermal characteristics of the copolymers.
