Abstract
AbstractEight new epoxy compounds bearing maleamic acid moieties were prepared starting from 4‐(2,3‐epoxypropoxy)benzaldehyde (EPB) or 2,3‐epoxypropylglyoxylate monohydrate (EPG). The monomaleamic acid derived from an aromatic diamine (1,4‐phenylenediamine, 4‐aminophenyl ether, 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane or 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone) reacted with EPB or EPG to afford the epoxy compounds. They were characterized by IR and 1H‐NMR spectroscopy. Their DTA traces showed that thermal polymerization started at 187–211°C. Network systems were obtained by crosslinking from the reaction of epoxy group with the maleamic carboxyl and through the olefinic bond. The TGA thermograms of crosslinked polymers showed that they were stable up to 275–295°C in N2 or air and afforded anaerobic char yield of 47–65% at 800°C. In addition, isothermal gravimetric analysis (IGA) was used to evaluate the thermo‐oxidative stability of a typical cured resin.
