摘要

In this work

a novel boron-containing phthalonitrile monomer was synthesized. This monomer can act as Lewis acid curing agent individually. Two model compounds were used to further understand the Lewis acid curing mechanism. The current boron-containing system exhibited good processability and thermal properties.

Abstract

A novel boron-containing monomer

(4-(3

4-dicyanophenoxy)phenyl)boronic acid (BPhPN) was synthesized and used to promote the curing process of phthalonitrile monomer 1

3-bis(3

4-dicyanophenoxy)benzene (MPN). Differential scanning calorimetry and rheological analysis were used to study the curing behaviors of BPhPN/MPN (namely B-MPN)

and results suggested that B-MPN systems have better processibility. FTIR spectra and solid-state

C-NMR exhibited triazine and isoindoline have been formed in the curing process. Boron-containing Lewis acid curing mechanism was preliminarily speculated and verified by two model compounds with different boron chemical environments. The thermogravimetric analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis demonstrated that the cured B-MPN polymers showed excellent thermal stability and heat resistance

which were comparable with conventional catalytic systems for phthalonitrile resins. This study not only presented a novel curing system for phthalonitrile resins

but also shed light on future design of high temperature thermosets.
