Resumen
A novel benzoxazine (BzPFA) with carboxylic acid groups in its structure was synthesized in a two-step process. First, BzPOH monomer was obtained from bisphenol A, paraformaldehyde, and ethanolamine with an initial molar ratio 1:4:2. Then, BzPOH was reacted with maleic anhydride using a stoichiometric 1:1 ratio of oxazine ring:maleic anhydride to produce a mixture of oligomeric species named BzPFA. The products were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, size-exclusion chromatography, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. BzPFA presented a weight-average molecular weight of 50,000 g mol−1. Mixtures of the novel precursor and the conventional benzoxazine based on bisphenol A (BzBA) (60:40 and 40:60 weight ratios) were prepared and three different curing conditions were considered in order to study the effect of BzPFA on curing and final properties. Blends exhibited improved properties respect to BzBA even at relatively low curing temperatures. These results can be associated to the network crosslinked by ester bonds that promotes a high rigidity. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018, 135, 46183.
