Phase diagram of different epoxy-amine precursors modified with a thermoplastic: Effect of structure of epoxy-amine system on miscibility
The miscibility of a thermoplastic with the precursors of different epoxy-amine systems was analyzed thermodynamically in which the dependence of interaction parameter on temperature and composition chi (T, phi) and the polydispersity of components were considered. The epoxy-amine precursors were different only in the nature of amino groups, which were provided by a monoamine and a diamine in different proportions. Cloud-point curves were measured for five unreacted modified systems resulting that miscibility of the system increased with the proportion of monoamine. The thermodynamic analysis was realized in two steps: first, the model was applied to each system individually and secondly, a general equation for chi (T, phi) depending on the monoamine-diamine proportion was searched and used to analyze all systems together. Theoretical calculations of cloud-point curves, shadow curves, spinodal Curves, critical points, vitrification curves and species distributions were realized and discussed for those systems.
