The invention belongs to the technical field of thermosetting
polyphenyl ether, and particularly relates to thermosetting
polyphenyl ether as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the thermosetting
polyphenyl ether comprises the following steps: mixing a
copper catalyst, an amine compound, an
organic acid compound, an
organic acid ester compound, monohydric
phenol, dihydric
phenol and a
solvent, reacting, and removing the
copper catalyst to prepare a dihydroxy-terminated polyphenyl
ether solution; and mixing an end-capping catalyst, an alkenylation
reagent and the dihydroxy-terminated polyphenyl
ether solution, reacting, separating and purifying to obtain the thermosetting polyphenyl
ether. The
organic acid compound and the organic acid ester compound are simultaneously added in the oxidative copolymerization process, the organic acid compound and the organic acid ester compound have a synergistic effect and are combined with other components, so that the
chromaticity of the thermosetting polyphenyl ether can be obviously reduced, and the
platinum-
cobalt chromaticity value of a 50wt%
butanone solution can be as low as 14-16; meanwhile, the
intrinsic viscosity and the molecular structure of the thermosetting polyphenyl ether are not obviously changed.
