Abstract

Abstract A new oligoperoxide (OPN), has been obtained by the condensation of an epoxide oligomer based on 4,4′-dihydroxy-2,2-diphenylpropane catalyzed by [BF3•(C2H5O] at 318 K in dry benzene. The structure of the OPN product was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and chemical analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the presence of nitrogen decreases the stability of the O-O-bond for the OPN relative to that in ordinary peroxide oligomers (OP). OPN may be used as a curing agent for polymeric compositions having unsatura ted polymers (UP). The formation of a space polymer from 363 to 383 K occurs due to a polymerization process which is initiated by the decomposition of peroxy groups. In curing at higher temperatures (383 – 423 K) other functional groups of OPN also participate in polymerization reactions.
