Abstract
A comparative study using electron-beam(EB) and thermal curing techniques was carried out to determine the effect of cure behavior and thermal stability of epoxy resins. In this work, benzylquinoxalinium hexafluoroantimonate(BQH) was used as a latent cationic catalyst for an epoxy resin. According to the thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), the decomposed activation energy based on Coats-Redfern method was higher in the case of thermal curing technique. This could be interpreted in terms of slow thermal diffusion rate resulted from high crosslink density of the thermally cured epoxy resin. However, the increase of hydroxyl group in the epoxy resin cured by EB technique was observed in near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS) measurements, resulting in improving the stable short aromatic chain structure, integral procedural decomposition temperature, and finally ductile properties for high impact strengths.

전자선 및 열경화 방법을 사용한 에폭시 수지의 경화거동과 열안정성 효과를 알아보기 위하여 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는, benzylquinoxalinium hexafluoroantimonate(BQH)가 에폭시 수지의 잠재성 양이온 촉매로서 사용되었다. 열중량분석(TGA)에 의하면, Coats-Redfern 방법에 기초한 분해활성화 에너지는 열경화 방법의 경우가 더 높게 나타났다. 이것은 열로 경화되어진 에폭시 수지의 높은 가교 밀도로 인해 열확산 속도가 느려졌기 때문으로 사료된다. 그러나, 전자선 방법으로 경화되어진 에폭시 수지에서는 안정한 짧은 고리구조, 적분열분해온도, 그리고 높은 충격강도를 위한 최종적인 연성 특성을 향상시키는 수산화기의 증가가 근적외선 분광기(NIRS) 측정으로 관찰되었다.
