Abstract
Bisphenol A-based phthalonitrile resin was synthesized by nucleophilic substitution reaction from bisphenol A and 4-nitrophthalonitrile, and then the obtained resin was cured with sulfaguanidine as a novel curing agent. The curing characteristics, kinetics, thermal stability and dynamic mechanical property were studied by standard thermal analysis techniques including DSC, TGA, and DMA. The peak temperature of exothermic peak ( Tp) and apparent activation energy ( Ea) of sulfaguanidine cured phthalonitrile resin were 263.20°C and 76.6 kJ·mol−1 respectively, much lower than those of traditional aromatic diamine cured resin. Moreover, the resin cured by sulfaguanidine showed excellent thermomechanical properties and thermal stability. The glass transition temperature ( Tg) was 284.8°C, the initial thermal decomposition temperature ( Td,5%) was 439.6°C, and the char yield at 800°C was 62.1% in nitrogen atmosphere. To sum up, organic guanidine cured phthalonitrile resin exhibits excellent curing characteristics (low Tp and Ea) and high thermal properties, which provides a promising approach to preparing phthalonitrile resin with high comprehensive performance.
