Interacting Blends of Novel Acrylated Poly(Ester-Amide) Resins - I with Methyl Methacrylate Monomer—Part 1
Bisphthalamic acids were prepared by reaction of phthalic anhydride and aliphatic diamines. Novel poly(ester-amide)s (PEAs) were prepared by reaction of epoxy resin with bisphthalamic acids. Acrylation of PEAs were carried out using acryloyl chloride; products are called acrylated poly(ester-amide)s (APEAs). Elemental analysis, Number average molecular weight and IR spectra recorded for both PEAs and APEAs. Blending of APEAs was carried out with methyl methacrylate monomer. Curing of APEAs-MMA blends were monitored on differential scanning calorimeter. Composites of these blends have been laminated and characterized. Unreinforced cured samples of these blends were analyzed thermogravimetrically.
Current Status of Unsaturated Polyester Resins
Unsaturated polyester (UP) resins are linear polycondensation products based on unsaturated and saturated acids/anhydrides and diols or oxides. These resins are generally pale yellow oligomers with...
Study on Mixed Glycols‐based Semi‐flexible Unsaturated Polyester Resins for Inhibition of Rocket Propellants
Seven semiflexible unsaturated polyester resins based on isophthalic acid, maleic anhydride and polyethylene glycol-200 and propylene glycol (in different proportions) have been synthesised and characterised for gel time, exotherm peak temperature, tensile strength, percentage elongation, bond strength, nitroglycerine absorption, water absorption, flame resistance and voltile losses. The effect of glycol variation on these properties has also been discussed. Based on the data for various characteristics, resin 4 has been selected for inhibition and static evaluation of propellant. The propellant sustainers containing 2 NDPA have been inhibited with resin 4 without the application of any barrier coats and statically fired at ambient, cold and hot temperatures. The results of the static firings prove the worthiness of the new direct bonding inhibition system.
