Otimização do processo de obtenção do pré-polímero metil azoteto de glicidila

This paper describes the action and results achieved during the optimization of Glycidyl Azide Polymer (GAP) characterization and process. Under different conditions, three different kinds of catalysts, BF 3 , SnCl 4 .5H 2 O and SnCl 4 were used to obtain polyepichlorohydrin and each sample was converted into GAP. All the samples were submitted for characterization analysis by FT-IR and determination of molecular mass and hydroxyl value. Finally, results were compared and the best method to obtain GAP was determined.
