Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Epoxy/Diacrylate Resin

Microwave irradiation in chemistry is a method for heating, drying and synthesis of materials [1]. Microwave ovens operate with electromagnetic radiation with frequenciesbetween 300 GHz and 300 MHz [2]. A large number of reactions, in organic and inorganic chemistry, undergo an immense increase in reaction speed under microwave irradiation compared with conventional heating [3]. In the last decant many new research have been published in polymerscience which growing interest in the use of microwave irradiation for polymerizations [4]. The main objective of this work was using microwave irradiation to prepare epoxy/acrylate resin and study the main factors in this reaction.
