The thermal degradation of model compounds of amine‐cured epoxide resins. II. The thermal degradation of 1,3‐diphenoxypropan‐2‐ol and 1,3‐diphenoxypropene

Abstract

Abstract The thermal degradations in an inert atmosphere, in air, and over alumina of 1,3‐diphenoxypropan‐2‐ol and 1,3‐diphenoxypropene were studied with the aim of investigating the thermal stability of the glyceryl portion of bisphenol A‐based epoxide resins. Degradation products were characterized. The thermal stability of the glyceryl group relative to that of the cure linkage in aromatic amine‐cured epoxide resins is discussed.
