METHOD OF FORMING OF A ROBUST NETWORK OF EPOXY MATERIAL THROUGH DIELS-ALDER REACTION

摘要

Thermally reworkable epoxy resins prepared through a Diels-Alder reaction are described herein. A maleimide component is reacted with an electron donating component having a furan ring attached to an epoxy ether to produce the epoxy resins. The epoxy component generated by this method can be cured with different diamines lo form a robust network of epoxy material. The robust epoxy material is used as a reversible thermoset and as an adhesive. The robust epoxy network is heated at 90°C temperature in a retro Diels-Alder fashion to produce colorless starting materials of the maleimide component and the furan component.
