Notes:
The epichlorohydrin-ethyleneoxide copolymer is modified with 10-undecenoate and 4-pentenoate moieties in order to obtain thermosets by cross-linking through their double bonds. These polymers are then characterized using NMR, IR, chlorine elemental analyses, X-ray powder diffraction, DSC, TGA, and viscosimetric measurements. Because the thermal crosslinking reaction overlaps in all cases with degradation processes, a free radical source (dicumyl peroxide) is necessary. The Arrhenius kinetic parameters are determined by DSC, using Ozawa and Kissinger expressions. Finally, the quality of cured materials is tested by TGA. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
