Abstract: Generally, the curing agents for aqueous ambient-temperature-cured epoxy resin systems are epoxy-polyamine adduct, which are rendered water-soluble by salting with organic acids,while these acids have adverse influence on film property.It is a trend to develop aqueous dispersion of epoxy curing agent free of organic acids.The conventional surfactants are not suited to act as phase inversion emulsifiers to prepare aqueous dispersion of epoxy-polyamine adduct. So a special phase inversion emulsifier TETA-DGEPG-EPON834 was synthesized in two steps.Firstly, diglycidyl ether of polyglycol(DGEPG) was used as the chain extender to react with triethylenete tramine(TETA) in propylene glycol methyl ether (PM) at 70℃ for about 4 h.Secondly, epoxy resin(EPON834) was used as the chain extender to react with the adduct of TETA-DGEPG in PM at 65℃ for about 3 h.Then the special phase inversion emulsifier was used to prepare aqueous dispersion of EPON828-TETA adduct terminated by E10. In circumstances of low emulsifier concentration (5%), phase inversion was not completed at phase inversion point (PIP) (0.35). While the phase inversion has completely finished at PIP (0.45) in the circumstances of high emulsifier concentration (10%).A stable aqueous dispersion of EPON828-TETA adduct terminated by E10 was prepared in circumstances of high emulsifier concentration (10%).
