Analysis of the reaction mechanism of the thiol–epoxy addition initiated by nucleophilic tertiary amines
نویسنده
چکیده
A kinetic model for thiol–epoxy crosslinking initiated by tertiary amines has been proposed. The kinetic model is based on mechanistic considerations and it features the effect of the initiator, hydroxyl content, and thiol–epoxy ratios. The results of the kinetic model have been compared with data from the curing of off-stoichiometric formulations of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) crosslinked with trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) (S3) using 1-methylimidazole (1MI) as the initiator. The model has been validated by fitting the kinetic parameters to the experimental data under a variety of reaction conditions. In spite of the experimental uncertainty and model assumptions, the main features of the curing kinetics are correctly described and the reaction rates are quantitatively reproduced.

Recent Advances in the Anionic Photocurable Epoxy/Thiol-Ene Systems
to several advantages including superior mechanical properties, chemical and heat resistance, low shrinkage, high adhesivity and low toxicity [1]. However, one of the main drawbacks is the inherent fragility due to the high level of crosslinking in these materials. Because of this aspect, several methods to improve their toughness have been reported [2,3]. Our research group focused on improvin...
متن کاملThiol-ene coupling: An efficient tool for the synthesis of new biobased aliphatic amines for epoxy curing
Thiol-ene coupling interestingly allowed to synthesize reactive primary and multi-functional amines from renewable resources with high yield and in mild conditions. These syntheses were performed in two steps from triallyl pentaerythritol (PE-Al) by esterification of the hydroxyl function with a long or medium alkyl chain and thiol-ene coupling with the cysteamine hydrochloride on the allyl fun...
متن کاملTheoretical Studies of Mechanisms of Epoxy Curing Systems
The epoxy resin market is faced with an ever increasing demand for a “designer” range of properties for the epoxy end-use products. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a complete mechanism and accurate kinetic model that has predictive capabilities. This dissertation addresses the issue in two sections. The first section is an analysis of systematic theoretical studies on the mechanisms of fou...

متن کاملInvestigation into thiol-(meth)acrylate Michael addition reactions using amine and phosphine catalysts†
This work describes a study into thiol–ene based Michael addition reactions. Different catalysts, primary and tertiary amines and phosphines, were investigated for the reaction of a range of thiols with dimers and oligomers of some (meth)acrylates. Primary and tertiary amines are efficient catalysts for the thiol–ene reaction, although these catalysts require several hours to reach high convers...
