Abstract
Recently, furfural is the most commonly produced industrial chemical because of its production is very flexible. In this study, furfural was converted into ploy furfural through polymerization process under acidic medium. Some mechanical and thermal characteristics were investigated for the viscous polymer. The polymer was characterized by the FTIR spectrum of the furan resin prepared in this study showed several bands due to the furan ring, which appears at (3116,1508,1149 and 735) cm-1. In addition, the spectrum showed a band at 3450 cm-1 due to the hydroxyl group and band at 1714 cm-1 due to carbonyl group which was generated by cleavage the furan ring under polymerization at the acid medium.The CHN analysis, curing condition of the polymer, was followed by the DSC technique, and the glass transition temperature of cured resin was an estimate (246 °C). Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) provides a good approach to accelerate the polymer lifetime testing that monitors weight changes in materials. The TGA and DSC of the furan resin compounds afterheating at 250 °C, 300 °C, 350 °C, and 400 °C; had one decomposition step. On the other hand, thermal treatment of polymer was done at different temperatures and times, and several thermal parameters were determined.
