Six fluorine-containing, mix-substituted phosphazene-based branched benzoxazine monomers with a low melting point were successfully prepared and their chemical structures were verified by 1 H, 13 C, 31 P and 19 F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These branched benzoxazine resins underwent thermal ring-opening polymerization to form cured polymers with high thermal stability both in N 2 atmosphere and in air. The co-substituents, both m-CF 3 PhOH and p-CF 3 PhOH, imposed significant effects on processing, thermal, and surface properties of corresponding polybenzoxazines. Non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under diverse heating rates was adopted to investigate the curing kinetics and determine the activation energy of polymerization. DSC results indicate that the m-CF 3 PhO-/p-CF 3 PhO-groups have the potential to lower ring-opening polymerization temperature. Glass transition temperatures (T g s) of polybenzoxazines derived from p-CF 3 PhOH are higher than that of polymers derived from m-CF 3 PhOH due to different steric hindrance and crosslinking density. More interesting, all polybenzoxazines show relatively high dielectric constant but exhibit low dielectric loss at ambient temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
