Abstract

The magnitude of the physical properties of resins obtained by the phthalic anhydride cure of non-terminal epoxy monomers, prepared from fatty derivatives, was shown to be dependent on the distribution of the epoxy groups in the monomer.

The monomers were prepared by epoxidizing a series of unsaturated esters, selected to test the effect of the addition of a single symmetrically disposed epoxide group. Oleoyl and linoleoyl esters of tetrahydrophthalyl alcohol, as well as dioleyl and dilinoleyl tetrahydrophthalate, were epoxidized and cured with phthalic anhydride (Group A). For comparison, epoxy monomers were prepared from oleoyl and linoleoyl esters of hexahydrophthalyl alcohol, as well as dioleyl and dilinoleyl hexahydrophthalate (Group B). When these epoxides were cured with phthalic anhydride, it was found that the resins derived from Group A had heat distortion temperatures which were approximately 55–65C higher than those from Group B.
