Development of modifying additives for epoxy oligomers based on household waste polyethylene terephtalate

A method for synthesis of oligoester polyols (OEP) and modified resins is presented, the effect of the OEP content on the dynamic viscosity, reactivity of resins, physicochemical and mechanical properties of structural materials is studied. Materials based on epoxy-diane resin modified with glycolyzed products were obtained. It was found that the use of the developed oligomers with optimal content of epoxy-diane resin as modifier leads to an increase in some characteristics of the resulting materials: elasticity, tensile strength and elastic modulus at static bending, viability of the composition. The use of glycolysis products is advisable because it is a promising method for recycling of household waste polyethylene terephthalate. It is characterized by ease of synthesis, as well as low cost and availability of initial components, and makes it possible to increase the physical and mechanical properties of structural materials based on epoxy resins, as well as contribute to solving environmental problems.
