Abstract
A thermosetting epoxy resin was found to form polymer particles Spontaneous
ly in a stationary reaction system using polyethers as solvents. Poly(oxypr
opylene) and its copolymer with poly(oxyethylene) were effectively used as
reaction media. The diameter of the resultant particles depended on the str
ucture of the amines used as hardeners as well as on the molecular weight a
nd composition of the polyether media. The glass-transition temperatures of
the particles revealed that a small amount of polyether used as the medium
was incorporated in the epoxy resin particles during the polymerization.
