Silica fillers were coated by plasma polymer coatings of 1,3-diaminopropane, allylamine, pyrrole, 1,2-epoxy-5-hexene, allyl mercaptan and allyl alcohol using RF plasma (13.56 MHz). The coated fillers were then mixed with biphenyl epoxy, phenol novolac (curing agent) and/or triphenylphosphine (catalyst), and subjected to DSC analyses in order to elucidate the chemical reaction between functional moieties in the plasma polymer coatings and the epoxy resin. Only the samples with 1,3-diaminopropane and allylamine plasma polymer coated silica fillers showed heat of reaction peaks when they were mixed with biphenyl epoxy resin only, while these samples as well as the samples with 1,3-diaminopropane, allylamine and pyrrole plasma polymer coated silica fillers exhibited heat of reaction peaks when mixed with both biphenyl epoxy and phenol novolac (curing agent).

Recently epoxy resin compositions having backbone of novolac derivatives with biphenylene compounds have been used as materials of eco-freindly EMC (Epoxy Molding Compound), because the cured epoxy resin compositions show the self-extinguishing without flame retardant additives. In this study, epoxy resin compositions were prepared and cured using novolac derivateves with biphenylene. Their propeties - structures of phenol derivatives and reactivity, thermal expansion, modulus, and thermal degradation - were obtained by DSC, DMA, TMA, TGA method. When both epoxy resin and hardenr had the biphenyl novolac structure, epoxy resin compositions showed low thermal expansion, good mechanical property, and combustion retardation.

The cure properties of self-extinguishing epoxy resin systems with different charge transfer type latent catalysts were investigated, which are composed of YX4000H as a biphenyl epoxy resin, MEH-7800SS as a hardener, and charge transfer type latent catalysts. We designed and used five kinds of charge transfer type latent catalyst and compared to epoxy resin systems with Triphenylphosphine-Benzoquinone(TPP-BQ) as reference system. The cure kinetics of these systems were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry with an isothermal approach, the kinetic parameters of all systems were reported in generalized kinetic equations with diffusion effects. The epoxy resin systems with Triphenylphosphine-Quinhydrone(TPP-QH), Triphenylphosphine-Benzanthrone(TPP-BT) and Triphenylphosphine-Anthrone(TPP-AT) as a charge transfer type latent catalyst showed a cure conversion rate of equal or higher rate than those with TPP-BQ. These systems with TPP-QH and Triphenylphosphine-Tetracyanoethylene(TPP-TCE) showed a critical cure reaction conversion of equal or higher conversion than those with TPP-BQ. The increases of cure conversion rates could be explained by the decrease of the activation energy of these epoxy resin systems. It can be considered that the increases of critical cure reaction conversion would be dependent on the crystallinity of the biphenyl epoxy resin systems.

The investigation of cure kinetics of biphenyl epoxy (4,4-diglycidyloxy-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl biphenyl)-xylok resin system with four different catalysts was performed by differential scanning calorimeter using an isothermal approach. All kinetic parameters of the curing reaction including the reaction order, activation energy and rate constant were calculated and reported. The results indicate that the curing reaction of the formulations using triphenylphosphine (TPP) and 1-benzyl-2-methylimidazole (1B2MI) as a catalyst proceeds through a first order kinetic mechanism, whereas that of the formulations using diazabicyloundecene (DBU) and tetraphenyl phosphonium tetraphenyl borate (TPP-TPB) proceeds by an autocatalytic kinetic mechanism. To describe the cure reaction in the latter stage, we have used the semiempirical relationship proposed by Chern and Poehlein. By combining an nth order kinetic model or an autocatalytic model with a diffusion factor, it is possible to predict the cure kinetics of each catalytic system over the whole range of conversion.

The basic catalyst 1-benzyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (BMH) was synthesized and analyzed by FT-IR and ¹H-NMR. A crystalized biphenyl-based epoxy was synthesized by using tetramethyl biphenol (TMBP) and epichlorohdrine. In order to consider the curing tendency of the synthesized BMH, the mass ratio was changed to 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt.% under heated conditions and the curing tendency was analyzed by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). As a result, the BMH catalyst showed a fast curing result in the stepwise heating pr℃ess of the biphenol-A epoxy and the cationic polymer. From these results, the BMH catalyst showed excellent thermal stability as a potential heat curing catalyst. In addition, we considered the application possibility of epoxy molding compound (EMC) which required a skeleton structure and a high heat resistance because the synthesized biphenyl epoxy had a characteristic of rapidly lowering viscosity at a constant temperature and a rigid skeleton structure of biphenol. As a result, it was confirmed that the TMBP-based epoxy developed in this study was composed of a crystalline structure, and a curing reaction was observed with a Novolac resin at a high temperature. In the presence of a catalyst, a curing reaction was observed around 150 ℃ and thus TMBP-based epoxy was successfully applied as a raw material of EMC.
