Abstract
Oligomeric aryl ether sulfones were prepared by aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions of 4,4'-dichlorodiphenyl sulfone with 4,4'-isop ropylidenediphenol and 4,4'-(1,1-cyclohexylidene)diphenol. The resulta nt products were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectral data , gel permeation chromatography and thermogravimetry. These low molecu lar weight oligomers were used as curing agents for epoxy resins. The curing kinetic study was made by differential scanning calorimetry. Th e cured epoxy resins were observed to possess better heat resistance c ompared to the resins cured with the traditional curing agents (4,4-di amino diphenyl sulfone or phthalic anhydride).
