A kinetic model for curing reactions of epoxides with amines

Abstract: Curing reactions of epoxy resins are accelerated by added hydrogen‐bond donor solvent and hydroxyl groups produced during the course of polymerization. A kinetic model comprising several different polycondensation and polyaddition reactions that occur simultaneously is developed. The concept of diffusion controlled reactions is employed to describe the change of reaction rate constants with conversion after the formation of an infinite crosslinking network. Good agreement is obtained between the model predicti… Show more

“…The model loses it relation with the theoretical argument on which it is based, i.e., the free volume change in the system. What is more, the determination of glass transitions in highly cross-linked polymers is sometimes difficult The second approach is the application of semiempirical methods [6,7], which relate diffusion-controlled reaction rates with chemical reaction rate by exponential functions of α − α C , where α C is a critical conversion corresponding to the beginning of the diffusion control. α C is difficul to evaluate with precision, so the diffusion control stage remains unsolved.…”

“…However, the tendency to an overall reaction order 3 is confirmed [22] except for lower T c (T c = 80 -120°C) where m + n is about 3.7. The ratio of the reaction rate constants k 1 /k 2 is independent of curing temperature, as illustrated in Fig.…”

“…As well known, the curing reaction consists of two regions: a chemically controlled region (prior to vitrification) and a diffusion-controlled one (beyond T c = T g ); for calculation of kinetic parameters an equation is needed that describes both these regions. Our previous results [16] have shown that Kamal's model [19] (describing the chemically controlled cure) should be complemented by an 6 equation for the calculation of the diffusion effect, e.g., as proposed by Chern and Poehlein [21,22]. Accordingly, the resulting expression for the overall reaction rate can be written as:…”

“…Con la finalidad de considerar los efectos de la vitrificación en el mecanismo de reacción en sistemas epoxi/amina, Chern y Poehlein propusieron una relación semi-empírica, basada en consideraciones de volumen libre, para explicar el control por difusión en las reacciones de curado [41] . En esta relación, se define un factor de difusión, F d (α), junto con dos parámetros empíricos, a través de la Ecuación 6:…”
