A new type of unsaturated poly ester-amide was prepared by melt polycondensation and characterized completely. Influence of heat treatment conditions and cross-linking content on mechanical and degradation properties of unsaturated polyester-amide were studied. Results suggested that the newly synthesized unsaturated poly(ester-amide) possessed good heat stabilization properties. Mechanical...

Traditionally polyester production is done in a batch reactor equipped with a separation column for batch distillation. A promising alternative for the intensification of this process is reactive distillation. In this paper, a reactive distillation model is developed for the synthesis of an unsaturated polyester process. The simulation results are compared with the industrial batch reactor outp...

Unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) has the resistance against boiled water, acid and alkali, and hence, is widely used in corrosive environment and elsewhere, although fracture strength of polymeric materials is generally low relative to metals and ceramics. Despite the fact that polymer components are mostly produced near-net-shape, machining, particularly drilling, is often required to prepare...

one of the common methods to cure unsaturated polyester resins is to use dual initiators. in order to produce an appropriate composite, it is necessary to know the effect of dual initiators on curing behavior. in this paper the effect of benzoyl peroxide, bpo, and tertiary butyl perbenzoate, tbpb, and their mixtures on thermal curing of an unsaturated polyester resin have been investigated. bpo...
