Both polymerization and dehydration of the resins under microwave irradiation are comparedwith those under conventional heating and further analysis is made. The results show that compared with those underconventional heating, the polymerization and dehydration time under microwave irradiation are shortened by 85.2% and80.7% respectively; On the other hand, the polymerization and dehydration under microwave irradiation lead to aremarkable increase in flow distance of the resins. Furthermore, the polymerization under microwave irradiation leads toreduced cure time, while the dehydration under microwave irradiation causes a slight increase in cure time.展开更多

The effects of different char formers on the flame retardance and thermal stability of this system were also discussed.展开更多

Further epoxidization of carborane bisphenol novolacs with epichlorohydrin gave carborane bisphenol epoxy novolacs （1 and 2）. The molecular weight and epoxy value of obtained resins were determined using the molecular weight of their precursors. The epoxy values of 1 and 2 were 0.48 and 0.52 respectively, higher than the maximum theoretical epoxy value （0.45） of difunctional carborane bisphenol epoxy resins. FTIR and NMR were utilized to characterize 1 and 2. The curing behaviors were also studied by DSC and the optimized curing conditions were obtained. TGA analysis indicated that carborane moiety could shield its adjacent organic structures against initial decomposition. On the other hand, B--H on carborane cage could react with oxygen to form a three-dimensional network linked by B--O--B and B--C bonds, which further blocked the movement of formed radicals and thus the degradation process was inhibited.展开更多

Based on the data calculated by the Kissinger equation and the Crane equation, a thermocuring dynamic model was established, from which the process conditions, activation energy, reaction kinetics equation and a f irst-order reaction of the curing reactions were derived.展开更多
