NOVEL-VINYL ESTER RESINS FROM N,N,O-TRIGLYCIDYL AMINOPHENOLS

The trifunctional, N, N, O-triglycidyl aminophenols were reacted to pr ocure vinyl ester resins. The synthesized resins were evaluated by est imating acid value, epoxy equivalent weight, number average molecular weight and by IR spectroscopy. The specimens obtained from cured resin s were tested for their tensile strength and thermal stability. The ne wly synthesized resins are observed to have superior properties compar ed to vinyl ester resins prepared from conventional diglycidyl ether o f bisphenol-A (DGEBA).
