Kinetic regularities of the reaction of oligo-4-aminophenol with epoxy resins

Abstract

Epoxy resins in the overwhelming majority acquire technically important properties only as a result of their transformation into a network polymer, i.e. when interacting with hardeners. In turn, the chemical nature and structure of both the resin and hardener molecules during curing are one of the determining factors affecting the network structure of the obtained compositions, which has a primary effect on the technological properties of the initial compositions. In this regard, we have studied the kinetic regularities of the reaction of oligo-4- aminophenol (OAPh) with epoxy resins.
