摘要

A novel thermosetting resin, primary amine-functional benzoxazine/epoxy copolymer (BEC), was synthesized by thermal polymerization. The structure and curing behaviors of BEC were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). During curing, two-step successive reactions, including addition reaction between primary amine with epoxy group and ring-opening reaction of oxazine group, occurred and led to the formation of binary crosslinking copolymer. The ring-opening reaction of oxazine ring is catalyzed by amine group and simultaneously follows autocatalytic mechanism ascribed to the generation of hydroxyl groups. The kinetic parameters of ring-opening reaction of oxazine ring were evaluated by Non-isothermal dynamic analysis using Kissinger, Ozawa, crane and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods. The value of E-a increased with the increase of curing degree, indicating an apparent diffusion control due to the lowering of molecular mobility in curing process.
