Interacting Blends of Novel Acrylated Poly(Ester-Amide)s Based on Diglycidylether of Bisphenol-C with Methyl Methacrylate Monomer

Abstract

Bisphthalamic acids were prepared by reaction of phthalic anhydride and aromatic diamines. Novel poly(ester-amide) resins (PEAs) were prepared by reacting the diglycidylether of bisphenol-C with bisphthalamic acids post reactions; these resins were carried out with acryloyl chloride, and the products were designated as acrylated poly(ester-amide) resins (APEAs). The resins were characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectrum. Blending of APEAs was carried out with methyl methacrylate monomer. Curing of APEAs-MMA blends was monitored using a DSC and glass fiber composites were fabricated and characterized. The unreinforced cured samples of APEAs-MMA blends were analyzed thermogravimetrically.
