Abstract: | The kinetics of reactions of ternary systems based on bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, bisphenol A, and a sulfanilamide curing agent were investigated using HPLC, during two different synthesis paths. The influence of tetrabutylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate as a catalyst for the epoxy–phenol reaction was studied. For the same initial composition, polymers differing by the crosslink point distribution and the chain length between crosslinks were synthesized. Different solid‐state behavior is expected in these two categories of networks. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 79: 580–591, 2001 |
