New network polymers based on furfurylglycidyl ether

Abstract

Among the activities done under the present work are the following: - study of the kinetic regularities of the polymerization of new heterocyclic monomers and oligomers obtained from interaction between furfurylglycidyl ether and aliphatic monocarboxylic acids (saturated and unsaturated); -determination of the polymerization mechanism in the absence of complex onium catalysts; -determination of the structure and composition of monomeric and polymeric compounds by using chemical and physicochemical techniques and 1Н-NМR spectral analysis. The kinetic regularities for polymerization have been studied using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC); study of the thermal resistance and thermal stability employed the derivatography techniques (DTA and TGA).
