Physico-mechanical properties of the products based on filled epoxy-oligomeric mixtures composed of Epidian-5 epoxy resin, oligoesteracrylate TGM-3 and monoperoxide derivative of Epidian-6 epoxy resin (PO) have been investigated. CaCO 3 was used as a filler and polyethylene polyamine was a curing agent. The effect of PO and CaCO 3 on the gel-fraction content and physicomechanical properties was examined. Using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the morphology of the samples has been studied.

Abstract.1 Coumarone-indene resins (CIR) with carboxy groups were synthesized via cooligomerization of unsaturated compounds presented in light fraction of coal tar and its fraction boiling out within 423-463 K with the addition of such industrial monomers as styrene, maleic anhydride, glycidyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid. 2,2`-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) in the form of 0.2 M solution in toluene was used as an initiator. The effect of monomers nature, initiator amount, temperature and reaction time on the yield and characteristics of resulted CIR has been determined. The structure of the synthesized CIR was confirmed by IR-spectroscopy. The conversion of unsaturated compounds during synthesis of CIR with carboxy groups was determined by gas-liquid chromatography.

Phenol-formaldehyde resins (PhFR) with reactive methacrylate fragments or labile peroxy bonds in the side branches used as a polymeric component of bitumen-polymeric mixtures have been investigated. Taking into account that PhFR with peroxy fragments based on epoxy resin does not described in literature, its synthesis procedure has been developed. The kinetic regularities of the reaction between peroxy derivative of epoxy resin (PDER) and phenol group of PhFR were studied taking the reaction of PDER with phenol as an example. The structure of PhFR with peroxy groups (PhFRP) has been confirmed by IR-studies. Bitumenpolymeric mixtures with PhFRP or PhFR with unsaturated fragments (PhFRU) in the amount of 1, 3, 5 or 7 mass parts per 100 g of petroleum bitumen were examined at 443, 463 or 483 K for 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 h. The composition of bitumn-polymeric mixtures has been determined using the group analysis.

Resin derivative containing methacrylic fragment and free epoxy group at the same time has been synthesized via chemical modification of ED-24 epoxy dianic resin by methacrylic acid. The structure of the synthesized product has been confirmed by IRspectroscopic investigations. Derivatography was used to determine the thermal stability of the synthesized compound. It has been suggested to use methacrylate derivative of ED-24 epoxy resin as a component of epoxyoligoesteric and bitumen-polymeric mixtures.
