Synthesis, characterization of novel interacting blends of acrylated poly (ester-amide)‎ s containing epoxy residues with vinyl ester resin

Abstract EN

Unsaturated bisamic acids were prepared by reaction between maleic anhydride and different aromatic diamines.

Unsaturated poly (ester-amide) resin (UPEAs) was prepared by reaction of diglycidylether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) with unsaturated bisamic acids.

Acrylation of Unsaturated poly (ester-amide) s (UPEAs) was carried out to afford acrylated UPEAs resin (i.

e., AUPEAs).

Interacting blends of Acrylated unsaturated poly (ester-amide) s (AUPEAs) with vinyl ester epoxy (VE) resin were prepared.

APEAs and AUPEAs were characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight determined by vapor pressure osmometer and by IR spectral study and by thermogravimetry.

The curing of interacting blends was monitored on differential scanning calorimeter (DSC).

Based on DSC data in situ glass reinforced composites of the resultant blends have been prepared and characterized for mechanical, electrical and chemical properties.

Unreinforced blends were characterized thermo-gravimetrically (TGA).
