Abstract
Three class of novel liquid crystalline epoxy resins containing azomething groups: N,N’-Bis[4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)benzylidene]-4,4-diamino-diphenyl ether (p-BEPBDDE), N,N’-Bis[4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)benzylidene]-4,4-diamino-diphenyl methane (p-BEPBDDM) and N,N’-Bis[(4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-benzyliden)-1,4- phenylene diamine] (p-BEPBPD) were synthesized and characterized. The results show that p-BEBDDE and p-BEBDDM belong to smectic texture and melting point is 239.5 and 178 oC, respectively. The p-BEPBD is nematic texture between its melting temperature (Tm) of 192 oC and clearing temperature (Ti) of 238 oC. The curing reaction can be described by Ozawa equation, and the alcohol-hydroxyl group can accelerate the curing reaction and decrease Ea in DSC experiment.
