Abstract
AbstractCrosslinking of polypropylene glycol with divalent metal salts of mono(hydroxyethyl) phthalate, anhydride, and bisepoxide is investigated. The anhydride and bisepoxide were hexahydrophthalic anhydride and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether. The metal carboxylate groups catalyzed the crosslinking reactions. The Mg carboxylate group showed higher catalytic activities than the Ca carboxylate group. The rubbers containing Mg showed much better physical properties than those containing Ca, due to higher interionic attraction of Mg++ and better homogeneity. In addition, tensile strength of the cured rubbers at about the same soft block contents depended largely upon that of the hard block. Resistances to water and chemical attack, stress–relaxation, and thermal behavior are also discussed.
