Abstract

In this study, 2-diglycidylether of benzotrifluoride (2-DGEBTF) and 4-diglycidylether of benzotrifluoride (4-DGEBTF) epoxy resins, which contained fluorine groups in the main chain, were synthesized. The resins were characterized by FTIR, $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR and $^{19}F$ NMR spectroscopy. The 2-DGEBTF and 4-DGEBTF epoxy resins were cured with triethylene tetramine (TETA), and the effect of the fluorine group on the synthesized epoxy resin on the cure behavior, thermal, and mechanical properties was investigated. The 2-DGEBTF/TETA system was more reactive than the 4-DGEBTF/TETA system, whereas the thermal stability factor i.e., the decomposition activation energy ($E_d$), of 4-DGEBTF/TETA was higher than that of 2-DGEBTF/TETA. These results can be explained by the decrease in cross-linking density and decomposition of the short side chains, resulting in the $CF_3$ group at the para position. However, the $K_{IC}$ value of 4-DGEBTF/TETA was higher than that of 2-DGEBTF/TETA. This was attributed to the increase in flexibility in the epoxy backbone, resulting in a difference in steric hindrance and polarlizability.
