ABSTRACT: The synthesis of vinyl ester resins V

, V

, and V

was carried out
using bisphenol-A based epoxy resin and methacrylic acid in the presence of
triethyl-, tripropyl-, and tributyl-amines, respectively. The reaction follows
rst-order kinetics. The interaction between acid and amine was investigated by
IR spectroscopy which shows absorptions corresponding to the formation of
activated acidcatalyst complex. The specic rate constants, calculated by
regression analysis, were found to obey an Arrhenius expression. The kinetic and
thermodynamic parameters: activation energy, frequency factor, entropy,
enthalpy, and free energy revealed that the reaction was spontaneous and
irreversible with a highly ordered activated complex. The activation energy of the
esterication of epoxy resin in the presence of tertiary amines increases in order

The
commonly used vinyl ester resins are prepared by
addition of ethylenically unsaturated acids to the
epoxy resins in the presence of basic catalysts. The
syntheses of acrylate and methacrylate terminated
vinyl ester resins using N,N dimethyl toluidine,
8
dimethylbenzylamine,
9
pyridine,
10
imidazole,
11
and
triphenylphosphine,

etc. have been studied. Ad-
dition esterication is usually accompanied by var-
ious parallel and consecutive reactions.
14, 15
An in-
vestigation of the reaction kinetics is needed for the
selection of proper conditions to proceed the reac-
tion in desired direction. The kinetics of addition es-
terication of monoepoxy compounds with benzoic
acid,
16
pentanoic acid,
17
and caproic acid
18
in the
presence of tertiary amines has been investigated,
and it showed variations in reaction rate, order, and
mechanism, primarily due to nature of the catalyst.
However, the effect of catalyst on esterication ki-
netics of diepoxy compounds has rarely been con-
sidered. In the present work, we report the kinetics
of esterication of epoxy resin with methacrylic acid
in the presence of an homologous series of tertiary
amines.
Experimental
MATERIALS
Bisphenol-A based epoxy resin (PG-100) from
Parikh Resins, Kanpur; triethyl amine and tributyl
amine fromSDs, Bombay; tripropyl amine fromJ.T.
Baker, England; methacrylic acid from Fluka A.G.,
Switzerland were used in the present study.
METHODS
Areactionmixture consistingof 1:0.9 stoichiomet-
ric ratio of bisphenol-Aepoxy resin (epoxide equiva-
lent weight: 185) and methacrylic acid were charged
into a three-necked ask (500 mL) equipped with
a stirrer, nitrogen inlet tube, and thermometer. The
ask was placed into an electrically heated oil bath
(1

C). The mixture was stirred and heated to the


desired temperature followed by addition of tertiary
amine (1 phr by weight of the resin). The esterica-
tion reaction was carried out at 80

, 85

, 90

, 95

,
and 100

C, and the progress of reaction was moni-


tored by determining the acid value intermittently
by the method of Ogg et al.
19
The extent of reac-
tion and number average degree of polymerization
was calculated using Carothers equation.
20
The re-
action was stopped when about 88% acid was con-
verted into ester group. In order to remove the free
methacrylic acid, the prepared resin was dissolved
in benzene and treated with potassium carbonate,
stirring for 2 h at 30

C. The acidin the form of


an acid saltwas extracted by water and benzene
was evaporated using a Rotovap
TM
evaporator un-
der vacuum.
21
Theresins werecharacterizedfor their
structures by IR spectroscopy (Nicolet Impact 400 D
spectrophotometer) using KBr pellets.
The rate of the reaction was calculated using the
equation:

initial stages of the reaction. This is because of a high
concentration of the reactive sites and the greater
possibilityof associationof acidandepoxide groups.
The linearity of the plots in the higher conversion re-
gion(>74%) reveals that the reactivityof a functional
group is independent of molecular size, which is a
characteristic of polyesterication reactions.

is evident fromthe tables that X

that of V

This indicates that the reactivity of epoxy resin to-
ward esterication in the presence of tertiary amines
decreases with the size of alkyl substituent. The plot
of X

versus reaction time showed nonlinearity in
the initial stages (<50%conversion) and higher con-
versionregion(>84%) whichis againa characteristic
of catalyzed polyesterication reactions.

coefcient (r > 0.99) which conrms that the reac-
tion follows rst-order kinetics.
The mechanism of esterication of bisphenol-
A based epoxy resin with methacrylic acid in the
presence of tertiary amines was studied accord-
ing to suggestions of Matejka and Dusek,
18
who
have explained the formation of acidcatalyst and
dimer acidcatalyst complexes in such situations.
Schemes 1 and 2 describe these mechanisms.
Scheme 1 shows that the reaction proceeds
through the acidcatalyst complex that works as ini-
tiator by attacking on oxygen of the epoxy ring to

The initiator attacks on epoxy oxygen to form the
VER with the release of the acidcatalyst complex
that canreact withanother epoxy molecule as shown

which again indicates that the reac-
tivity of epoxy resin toward methacrylic acid in the
presence of tertiary amines decreases with the size
of substituents in amines. Figure 9 shows plots be-
tween ln k

and indicates that they obey the Arrhenius law. The
slope and intercept of the plots obtained by regres-
sion analysis were used to calculate the energy of
activation and frequency factor for the esterication
reaction. Using these values of E

modynamic parameters entropy, enthalpy, and free
energy of the activation were calculated and the val-
ues are given in Table IV. It is clear fromthe table that

Conclusions
The esterication of bisphenol-A epoxy resin
with methacrylic acid in the presence of triethyl-,
tripropyl-, and tributyl-, amines as catalyst follows
rst-order reaction kinetics. The reaction proceeds
through the transitory interaction of acid and amine
by forming an acidcatalyst complex. In higher
amines, due to steric hindrance on nitrogen atoms,
the formation of an activated acidcatalyst complex
