Notes:
Fluorine-19 NMR is used to examine the role of boron trifluoride monoethylamine (BF3-MEA) in epoxy resin cure. Spectra were first recorded in a variety of solvents suitable for dissolving different epoxy resins. All spectra contained a peak due to fluoroboric acid. Spectra of BF3-MEA in orthodichlorobenzene were then recorded at elevated temperatures. The floroboric acid peak area increased, indicating that the BF3-MEA was being hydrolyzed. Results indicate that, at temperatures above 100°C, BF3-MEA is completely hydrolyzed within 5 min to fluoroboric acid.
