| Research Abstract |
A positron-annihilation lifetime (PAL) technique was applied to four kinds of epoxy resin (cresol novolac (CR), tris-hydroxy-phenyl-methane (THPM), tetra-methyl-biphenol (TMB) and bis-phenol A (BA)) in order to study the relation between the intermolecular space holes and water absorption. The size of the holes was measured based on the lifetime (tau_3) of the ortho-positronium (o-Ps). Since THPM has a larger tau_3 value (hence, a larger intermo-lecular-space hole) and absorption rate than that of the other samples, the correlation between tau_3 and the absorption rate has been shown to be evident.
Assuming a very simplified model, the shapes of the holes for the smallest unit cell were calculated using a computer code of molecular-dynamics ; the shape for THPM was found to be different from those of the other three samples.
A polymerization process of Bisphenol-A dicyanate (BADCy) has been studied by a positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) technique. In the process, BADCy was cured through triazine ring formation by heating ; the state changed from a powder at room temperature, through a liquid above the melting point, to a solid after curing at high temperatures. It has been shown that PAL is a powerful technique for studying microscopic structure changes and the state transition of the continuous polymerization process.
