PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CARDANOL BASED VINYL ESTER RESINS AS CROSS-LINKER UNITS

摘要

A polymerizable monomer prepared by partial or complete acrylation or methacrylation of at least one epoxidized cardanol, wherein the epoxidized cardanol is formed by epoxidation of an unsaturation site of a cardanol having the formula (I) wherein R is selected from hydrogen and an alkyl, or alkenyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms, and n is 7, 10, or 13, a polymer and resin made form the polymerizable monomer, and a method of preparing such a polymer. The resin created from this monomer is suitable for moderate temperture composites and coatings applications.
