Abstract The epoxy methacrylate of (2E,6E)-2, 6-bis(4-hydroxybenzylidene)cyclohexanone (EBHBCMA)
was synthesized by condensing 0.02 equi. EBHBC, 0.04 equi. methacrylic acid, 50 mL THF
as a solvent and 0.2 mL triethylamine as a catalyst at reflux temperature for 1-5 h to get acid
value < 10. EBHBCMA showed good solubility in common solvents. The structure of
EBHBCMA was supported by UV-Vis., FTIR, 1
H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques.
DSC thermogram of EBHBCMA exhibited two endothermic peaks (86.4 and 117.1 °C) and
one exothermic peak (142.6°C) due to moisture release, melting and curing of the resin,
respectively. More >
