Substantial Interest

Epoxy resin (EP) is one of the most famous thermoset materials. In general, because EP has a three-dimensional random network, it possesses thermal properties similar to those of a typical heat insulator. Recently, there has been substantial interest in controlling the network structure of EP to create new functionalities. Indeed, the modified EP, represented as liquid crystalline epoxy (LCE), is considered promising for producing novel functionalities, which cannot be obtained from conventional EPs, by replacing the random network structure with an oriented one. In this paper, we review the current progress in the field of LCEs and their application to highly thermally conductive composite materials.

Clearing Temperature

Three class of novel liquid crystalline epoxy resins containing azomething groups: N,N’-Bis[4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)benzylidene]-4,4-diamino-diphenyl ether (p-BEPBDDE), N,N’-Bis[4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)benzylidene]-4,4-diamino-diphenyl methane (p-BEPBDDM) and N,N’-Bis[(4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-benzyliden)-1,4- phenylene diamine] (p-BEPBPD) were synthesized and characterized. The results show that p-BEBDDE and p-BEBDDM belong to smectic texture and melting point is 239.5 and 178 oC, respectively. The p-BEPBD is nematic texture between its melting temperature (Tm) of 192 oC and clearing temperature (Ti) of 238 oC. The curing reaction can be described by Ozawa equation, and the alcohol-hydroxyl group can accelerate the curing reaction and decrease Ea in DSC experiment.
