Abstract

The influence of the structure of adamantane-containing epoxy polymers (EP) on their resistance to thermal, chemical, and biological aging under conditions of the action of aqueous solutions of the carboxylic acids, which are known as metabolites of the vital activity of mold fungi, is studied. It is established that the adamantane-containing EP show higher heat resistance and thermal stability than do epoxy amine polymers based on aliphatic diamines, providing high adhesive strength up to temperatures ranging from 150 to 200°C. It is shown that incorporation of the adamantane fragments into the structure of a hardening agent increases the resistance of the epoxy polymers to aggressive media (water, alkalis, acids, and solvents), including metabolites of mold fungi.
