Abstract

A bifunctional benzoxazine monomer, 6,6′-bis(3-allyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[e][1,3]oxazinyl) sulfone (BS-ala), was synthesized from bisphenol-S, allylamine and formaldehyde via a solution method. The chemical structure of BS-ala was confirmed by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The polymerization behavior of BS-ala was investigated by FTIR, solid-state 13C NMR, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The oxazine ring opening polymerization is prior to the addition polymerization of allyl group, and the exothermic peaks corresponding to the two reactions appear partially overlapped in the DSC curve. The storage modulus of the resultant polybenzoxazine at 25°C is about 3.9 GPa, and the glass transition temperature is 254°C. The 5% and 10% weight loss temperatures of the polybenzoxazine are about 335°C and 361°C in both air and nitrogen, respectively. The char yield is about 58% at 800°C in nitrogen, whereas almost no residue is remained at 700°C in air. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
