    Study Notes

    Crosslinking Process

    • For every polyester unit, 2 C=C bonds are broken
    • 4 C-C bonds are formed
    • The mass of a polyester unit is 142 g/mole
    • 122.4 g of polyester results in 1.724 moles or 1.038 x 10^24 C=C bonds broken
    • 122.4 g of polyester results in 3.446 moles or 2.076 x 10^24 C-C bonds formed

    Polymerization Energy

    • 680 kJ/mole is required to break a C=C bond
    • 370 kJ/mole is released when a C-C bond forms
    • Energy needed to break all C=C bonds is 1172.32 kJ
    • Energy released when all C-C bonds are formed is 1275.02 kJ
    • Net energy generated during polymerization is 102.7 kJ

    Polyester Properties

    • The heat capacity of polyester is 0.25 cal/g/oC

    Epoxy Resin

    • Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBPA) is an epoxy resin
