Cerium Salts: An Efficient Curing Catalyst for Benzoxazine Based Coatings

Cerium Salts: An Efficient Curing Catalyst for Benzoxazine Based Coatings Tao Zhang, Leila Bonnaud, Jean-Marie Racquez, Marc Poorteman, Marjorie Olivier and Philippe Dubois Abstract :  The effect of three different cerium salts (Ce(NO3)3·6H2O, CeCl3·7H2O and Ce(OOCCH3)3·5H2O) on the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of a model diamine-based benzoxazine (4EP-pPDA) was investigated. With the incorporation of the cerium […]
