Abstract

A novel bisphenol 1, 4'-bis{4-((4-hydroxy) phenyliminomethylidene) phenoxy} benzene (BHPB), which con- tains azomethine moiety and flexible aromatic ether linkage, was synthesized and introduced into the curing system com- posed of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and diamine. The curing behavior of DGEBA/diamine changed dramatically due to the introduction of BHPB. The resultant epoxy thermosets containing BHPB had high Tgs (127-160°C), high Td,5% (≥ 330°C) and high integral procedure decomposition temperature (IPDT) values (662-1230°C) and good flame retardancy because of their high Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) values (above 29.5).
