Effect of Curing Time and Temperature on the Structural Stability of Melamine Formaldehyde Polymers

Abstract: Abstract. Melamine-formaldehyde polymer was synthesized into the form of self-supporting films. The structural stability of these films was investigated by means of spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The curing temperature and time has effects on the structural stability of the resulting polymer films. In this work, polymer film cured at 200 oC for 12 hours showed highest structural stability compared to those cured at lower temperature and shorter time duration.

“…The smaller sized PEG segment is more flexible than the EP segment, and its thermal movement can cause the EP skeleton to move during the curing process when driven by high temperature . The continuous energy supply and extended cross-linking process allow the PEG/EP composite to undergo a more thorough structural rearrangement, eliminating large-scale heterogeneity and progressively producing a homogeneous tiny isotropic domain. , Furthermore, by changing the abovementioned curing parameters ( t curing and T curing ), it is possible to provide the system with the right external energy (heat) to diffuse and migrate the atoms (clusters) toward tiny clusters with low Gibbs free energy on the surface, intermolecular and van der Waals forces are weakened, and the material eventually exhibits a smooth and continuous distribution of uniform and small sizes, similar to the epitaxial mechanism of thin films under vacuum. , Furthermore, the cross-linked network created by EP and PEG likewise becomes more compact during the strong cross-linking . Transparent TPE–TES (Figure d) with a practical thickness (2 mm) under phase change temperature was synthesized utilizing the high-temperature curing agent MeH-HPA, based on the hypothesis of energy-driven structural rearrangement.…”

“…The maximum weight loss rate temperature for both MFF and MFF‐TFMB fibers occurred at 375–395°C, mainly due to the decomposition of the triazine ring 35 . The fourth stage of weight loss corresponds to further thermal degradation of the molecular structure in the fiber 36 . Combined with the data in Table 3, the maximum weight loss rate temperatures corresponding to MFF, MFF‐TFMB‐1%, MFF‐TFMB‐3%, and MFF‐TFMB‐5% are 379.6, 378.2, 380.3, and 381.5°C, respectively.…”
