Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 化學工程研究所 === 81 === The polymers obtained from a ring opening polymerization usually have a lower shrinkage of volume than those from the simple addition polymerization. In some systems, such as cyclosiloxane, the entropy of polymerization being a positive value, show a much lower shrinkage of volume. In order to reduce the shrinkage of epoxy resin during the curing process, the caprolactam was incoroporated with epoxy to proceed a copolymerization reation. In this work, various contents of caprolactams and BF3MEA were added to epoxy, and the relation between of shrinkage of volume and the entropy of polymerization was investigated. It indicates that increasing the content of caprolactams will lead to a lower shrinkage of volume and larger number of ring the lactams have the lower shrinkage of volume the copolymers have. With the aid of the Infrared spectrum and Scanning electronic microscope analysis and mechanical tests, the structure and properties of the copolymers were investigated. The results show that the incoroperation of caprolactam will lead to the increas of tensile strength and elogation, but the Izod impact was not improved.
