Abstract
Recently, renewable furan-based epoxy systems containing furanyl building blocks in place of phenyl building blocks were reported by our group. Furan-based epoxy systems showed better mechanical properties compared with their phenyl analogues. In this work, an epoxy-amine cure kinetics study of analogous systems with furanyl and phenyl building blocks was conducted to evaluate the relative effect of the furan building block on the cure behavior. The reactivity rates of the epoxy-primary amine reaction (k(1)) and epoxy-secondary amine reaction (k(2)) were obtained, and the results suggest that hydrogen bonding on the furanyl ring potentially affects the reactivity and reactivity ratio thus influencing not only processing characteristics, but also the thermal and mechanical properties of furan-based epoxy systems relative to phenyl analogues.
