COA of Formula: C31H20O8In 2021, Okamoto, Shusuke;Sudo, Atsushi;Endo, Takeshi published 《Molecular design and synthesis of crosslinked polyimides using radical isomerization of vinylcyclopropane with thiols》. 《Journal of Applied Polymer Science》published the findings. The article contains the following contents:
Reactive polyimides bearing a vinylcyclopropane (VCP) moiety in the main chain were successfully synthesized from the corresponding diamine with the VCP moiety. Their radical crosslinking using a dithiol proceeded with the radical ring-opening reaction (RROR) of the VCP moiety to afford the corresponding crosslinked polyimides with the C=C bonds in crosslinking moieties. Thermal properties of those crosslinked polyimides were evaluated by thermal gravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. As a result, the increase of the crosslinking degree in the crosslinked polymer exhibited great residual weight at 600°C. In contrast, the tendency of the glass transition temperature was inverse because the increase in the amount of dithiol unit as a crosslinker would enhance the mitigation of the polymer packing structure and activates the mobility of polymer chains. To complete the study, the researchers used 5,5′-((Propane-2,2-diylbis(4,1-phenylene))bis(oxy))bis(isobenzofuran-1,3-dione) (cas: 38103-06-9) .
5,5′-((Propane-2,2-diylbis(4,1-phenylene))bis(oxy))bis(isobenzofuran-1,3-dione)(cas: 38103-06-9) is a diallyl based epoxy modification agent that blends with the resin to improve the mechanical property of the epoxy material.COA of Formula: C31H20O8 It is majorly used in novalac based resins, which can be further cured with bismaleimides (BMI) for aerospace, electronics and wireless communication based applications.
