The invention belongs to the field of
epoxy resin curing agents, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a
maleimide-containing
epoxy resin curing agent. The method for preparing the
maleimide-containing
epoxy resin curing agent is simple and environment-friendly in process, wide in
reaction temperature range, gentle in reaction condition and beneficial to industrial production. The method comprises the following process steps in sequence: (1) dissolving an amine compound and a phase transferring catalyst into a proper amount of
organic solvent; under the protection of
nitrogen, heating to 65 DEG C, then dropwise adding epoxy chloropropane; and after epoxy chloropropane is completely dropwise added, cooling to 55 DEG C, reacting for 2-8 hours; (2) cooling the
reaction system to 30-40 DEG C, adding
solid alkali, heating to 50 DEG C, and implementing ring-closure reaction for 1-6 hours; (3) cooling to the
room temperature after the reaction is finished, performing suction
filtration, extracting the filtrate by using a proper amount of
ethyl acetate, washing with deionized water for many times, and implementing rotary
evaporation at 45 DEG C so as to remove
ethyl acetate, thereby obtaining a target product, namely
maleimide-containing epoxy resin curing agent.
