Abstract
In this work, a bio-based reprocessable and degradable polybenzoxazine with acetal structures was designed and prepared. A diphenol containing acetal structures (DVEA) was reacted with stearylamine and paraformaldehyde to obtain a benzoxazine monomer (DVEA-s). The curing behavior of DVEA-s was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the curing kinetics of DVEA-s were also studied. Due to the thermal exchange of acetal structures, the obtained polybenzoxazine (PDVEA-s) exhibited quick stress relaxation. Mechanically crushed PDVEA-s could be reprocessed by hot-pressing at 120 °C for 10 min. Furthermore, the degradation properties of PDVEA-s under different conditions were studied. The results showed that PDVEA-s could be completely degraded in acidic tetrahydrofuran aqueous solution at 50 °C in 4 min.
