A self-catalytic
imide ring-containing
phthalonitrile resin and a preparation method and application thereof, relate to the technical field of aromatic heterocyclic resins, and specifically to a self-catalytic
imide ring-containing
phthalonitrile resin and a preparation method and application thereof. It is necessary to solve the problems of high
melting point, inappropriate curing speed and complicated preparation process of existing self-catalytic
phthalonitrile resins. Unsaturated double bonds and
imide rings are introduced into the structure of the self-catalytic imide ring-containing phthalonitrile resin, and dimethyl is introduced on the
benzene ring at the same time. Method: 4-amino-3,5-
xylenol, 4-nitrophthalonitrile and
anhydrous potassium carbonate are stirred in a non-protonic
solvent, reacted, the product is washed with water, and dried to obtain 4-(4-amino-3,5-dimethylphenoxy)phthalonitrile; then glacial
acetic acid is added, heated to
reflux, cooled to precipitate the product, washed with water, and dried to obtain the target product. The resin has a moderate curing speed and a relatively
low melting point. The resin of the present invention is used for modifying
epoxy resins.
