Characterization of Acetylene-Terminated Resin Cure States
Abstract
Acetylene terminated (AT) oligomers are being considered for use in high service temperature adhesives and composites. Characterization of the cure states of these resins by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques was investigated. The AT resins 4,4-bis(3ethynylphenoxy) diphenylsulfone (ATS), 4,4- bis(4-ethylphenoxy)-2,2-diphenylpropane (p-ATB), and 4,4-bis(3-ethylphenoxy)-2- diphenylpropane (m-ATB), and the monofunctional model compound phenoxyphenoxyphenylacetylene (PPPA), were studied as a function of cure and postcure conditions. These measurements provided parameters useful in characterizing the cure states of AT resins. The results also provided additional insight to the cure mechanism.
