Gallium(iii) xanthate as a novel thermal latent curing agent for an epoxy resin composite

Abstract

The latent thermal curing catalyst “Ga(iii) xanthate” for an epoxy resin/phenol composite, and its curing behaviour are reported.

Investigation of metal xanthates as latent curing catalysts for epoxy resin via formation of in-situ metal sulfides

“…Gallium (III) -O-2, 2-dimethylpentan-3-yl dithiocarbonate was synthesized following our previous report 37 . 1 …”

Nonisothermal curing kinetics of epoxy resin composite utilizing Ga (III) xanthate as a latent catalyst

“…butoxide and carbon disulphide were purchased from Wako Chemicals, Japan and 2, 2‐dimethyl‐3‐pentanol was purchased from Sigma Aldrich, Japan. The synthesis and characterization of the Gallium (III) xanthate used in this work was done as per our earlier publication . Commercially available Ortho‐cresol Novolac epoxy resin (CNE200ELB65) melting point 65°C, Novolac phenolic resin (BRG556) melting point 80°C and curing catalyst UCAT3512T were used for this study.…”

Accessing γ-Ga2S3 by solventless thermolysis of gallium xanthates: a low-temperature limit for crystalline products

“…It should be noted that whilst the complexes tris(Oethylxanthato)gallium(III) and dimethylpentan-3-yl xanthato gallium(III) have been previously reported but their thermal decomposition was not studied in detail -we also report these aspects here. 36,37…”
