Laser Light Scattering Studies of Epoxy Polymerization Processes

Abstract

The final technical report summarizes our development on the methodology to study the structure and dynamics of highly branched epoxy polymers. We have made advances in providing new approaches to this complex problem. Unfortunately, the project was not renewed for further studies. During the contract period, we have developed the methodology to study the structure and dynamics of epoxy polymer formation by using laser light scattering intensity and linewidth measurements, small angle x-ray scattering with a synchrotron x-ray source and chemical analysis. We have also tried to approach the kinetics and mechanisms of the epoxy copolymerization reaction by using the Smoluchowski coagulation equation.
