Thermoset bio-based diglycidyl ether of diphenolate esters (DGEDP) exhibit comparable mechanical properties as petroleum-derived diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA), whereas DGEDP is derived from levulinic acid, a safe and readily renewable feedstock. To determine the potential replacement of DGEBA as dielectric materials, a series of DGEDP-esters (i.e., methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl esters) were synthesized and studied. Broadband dielectric spectroscopy revealed that DGEDP-propyl has the highest dielectric constant in the series, comparable to DGEBA. Differences in the dielectric properties of DGEDP-esters is attributed to the interplay of segmental, small local, and side-chain motions on one hand and free volume and steric hindrance on the other.
热固性生物基二酚二缩水甘油醚酯(DGEDP)表现出与石油衍生的双酚 A 二缩水甘油醚(DGEBA)相当的机械性能,而 DGEDP 则来源于安全且可再生的原料——乙酰丙酸。为了确定 DGEBA 作为介电材料的潜在替代品,合成并研究了一系列 DGEDP-酯(即甲酯、乙酯、丙酯和丁酯)。宽频介电谱表明,DGEDP-丙酯在该系列中具有最高的介电常数,与 DGEBA 相当。DGEDP-酯介电性能的差异归因于一方面的链段、小局部和侧链运动以及另一方面的自由体积和空间位阻的相互作用。
