Abstract
The disadvantage of poor thermal performance of epoxy resin limits its application in special fields, therefore we improve the thermal performance of epoxy resin by copolymerizing it with phthalonitrile resin. A novel self-promoted curing phthalonitrile monomer containing pyridine rings and amino groups (APNH) was successfully synthesized using 2-amino-4-hydroxypyridine and 4-nitrophthalonitril, and characterized by FTIR and NMR spectra. DSC confirmed that the APNH monomer exhibits curing behavior that is self-promoting. Copolymerizing the APNH monomer with epoxy resin enhances the thermal performance of the epoxy resin. The curing behavior of the EPNH copolymer was studied using DSC, which revealed two distinct curing peaks. FTIR analysis showed that the EPNH copolymer has formed structures such as triazine, phthalocyanine, and isoindoline. The presence of cyano groups significantly enhances the thermal properties of the copolymer, surpassing those of traditional epoxy resins. This enhancement in thermal performance amplifies with an increase in the content of the APNH monomer. The research indicates that the EPNH copolymer exhibits superior thermal stability and elevated glass transition temperatures, facilitating the application of epoxy resin in specialized areas.
