Abstract
A novel thermoplastic polybenzoxazine was synthesized based on agrochemical renewable cardanol–a by–product of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). A solventless synthesis of monofunctional benzoxazine monomer based on cardanol, aniline and paraformaldehyde was carried out. The liquid benzoxazine monomer was characterized by 1HNMR and FTIR spectroscopy. Curing characteristics at different temperatures were studied and monitored by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The appearance of two exothermic peaks associated with reaction of double bonds of the aliphatic side–chain and ring opening polymerization of benzoxazine. High thermal stability of the polymer sample was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
