Abstract

Cure behaviors and water up-take evaluation of a low cost, ecofriendly and water soluble epoxy resin prepared by reaction between epichlorohydrin and PEG400, PEG600 and PEG1000, respectively, were investigated using non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gravimetrical method, respectively. Factors affecting the cure behaviors as well as water up-take of waterborne epoxy resins, such as amount of triethylenetetramine (TETA) and triethylene diamine (TEDA), PEG molecular weight, curing temperature, were systematically investigated. The prepared water soluble epoxy resins can be cured under room temperature with the shape of the curing curves similar to that expected for an autocatalytic reaction.
