Epoxy resin cure. I. Fluorine‐19 NMR of boron trifluoride monoethylamine and fluoroboric acid

Abstract: Fluorine‐19 NMR is used to examine the role of boron trifluoride monoethylamine (BF3–MEA) in epoxy resin cure. Spectra were first recorded in a variety of solvents suitable for dissolving different epoxy resins. All spectra contained a peak due to fluoroboric acid. Spectra of BF3–MEA in orthodichlorobenzene were then recorded at elevated temperatures. The floroboric acid peak area increased, indicating that the BF3–MEA was being hydrolyzed. Results indicate that, at temperatures above 100°C, BF3–MEA is complet… Show more

“…As can be seen, the DSC scans show multiple peaks that are symptomatic of complex reactions. The mechanism of catalysis by BF 3 ·MEA and related compounds in epoxy curing is still not fully understood, but the lower temperature DSC peak is caused by the thermal conversion of BF 3 ·MEA to HBF 4 ,21 whereas the peak at the higher temperature can be attributed to the catalyzed addition reaction of the primary and secondary amines to the epoxy groups. The temperature of the exothermic peak of this reaction can be taken to be indicative of the reactivity of the compositions under curing.…”

“…This was due to the previously reported thermal conversion of BF 3 ⅐ MEA to HBF 4 . 15 The second exotherm at 190°C was attributed to the catalyzed benzoxazine ring opening. Catalytic activity was higher for this Lewis acid.…”

“…53. In the presence of water, Ghaemy [265,266] as well as Smith et al [267,268], invoked the gradual hydrolysis of BF 3 into borate as a potential source of HF, which is able to generate HBF 4 or one of its salts from BF 3 .…”
