Abstract

Abstract : A series of epoxy resins containing the ionic liquid [C6 mim]FeCl4 was reported. The TGA and DMA results of this system show that the incorporation of [C6 mim]FeCl4 is a better way to improve the performance of room-temperature curing epoxy resins. Abstract : The 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazole ferrum tetrachloride salt ([C6 mim]FeCl4 ) and mixed amines were blended in different mass ratios with bisphenol-A epoxy resin E-51 to obtain a series of cured products at room temperature. The thermal decomposition of the cured products was studied by thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical analysis, and in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The thermal degradation temperatures changed as a function of different mass ratios of [C6 mim]FeCl4 . The kinetics of thermal decomposition were then analyzed by the Flynne–Walle–Ozawa method. The results show that the incorporation of [C6 mim]FeCl4 is a better way to improve the performance of room-temperature curing epoxy resins.
