Abstract

Abstract: Three benzoxazines based on o ‐allylphenol and 1, 6‐hexamethylenediamine (HDA) or 4, 4′‐diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM) or 4, 4′‐diaminodiphenyl ether (DDE) were respectively blended with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A (DGEBA) in various weight ratios followed by thermal polymerization to prepare three series of benzoxazine/DGEBA copolymers. With increasing DGEBA content, the peak temperature of the exothermic peaks in the DSC curves shows a systematic increase for the three series of benzoxazine/DGEBA blends. Each copolymer shows a single glass transition temperature ( T g ). As the content of DGEBA is increased, T g reaches a minimum for the copolymer system based on HDA but a maximum for the two systems based on DDM and DDE. For the same benzoxazine/DGEBA weight ratio, copolymers based on DDM and DDE show high T g values over those based on HDA. The three series of benzoxazine/DGEBA copolymers exhibit a one‐way dual shape memory effect based on T g, and the shape memory properties of the copolymers under tensile deformation mode vary with the variation of both diamine bridge structure and DGEBA content. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry Abstract : Three series of benzoxazine/epoxy copolymers were prepared. The dynamic and shape memory properties of the copolymers vary with variation of the diamine bridge structure and epoxy content.
