The effect of potential catalysts on the curing reaction of a new type of phenolic resins obtained from benzoxazine precursors is studied. These novel resins solve the shortcomings of traditional phenolics because they cure by a ring-opening mechanism that avoids the release of volatiles. Isothermal and nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data is used to determine the influence of the catalysts on the curing kinetics. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is also applied. The benzoxazine chosen for this study is a purified benzoxazine monomer based on bisphenol-A, formaldehyde, and aniline. The as-synthesized benzoxazine precursor is also studied to determine the influence of the dimers and higher oligomers in the curing mechanism. The presence of these structures seems to catalyze the curing reactions. The activation energy and overall reaction order of the as-synthesized precursor are determined. Among the catalysts tested, adipic acid shows the most promising results, For all the cases studied the curing reaction is autocatalyzed up to a diffusion-controlled stage.
