Abstract
Citric acid–piperazine salt was prepared with a molar ratio of acid–piperazine of 2.9. The salt was characterized by thermal calorimetry, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. The piperazine content in the salt was 52%. A typical formulation was achieved by mixing the salt with the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA). The heat of reaction was measured by a calorimeter and the evaluated peak resulted from the simultaneous endothermic salt decomposition and exothermic network formation. The heat of reaction value was −ΔH = 18kJ/eq. for the stoichiometric ratio, and the glass transition temperature, Tg, was 95°C. The heat of reaction evolved and the Tg value of piperazine–epoxy were determined for comparison with the salt–epoxy system.
