This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0101457 dated August 28, 2018 and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0102574 dated August 21, 2019. All content disclosed in the literature is included as part of this specification.

The present invention relates to a phthalonitrile resin.

Phtharonitrile-based resins are known as thermosetting resins excellent in heat resistance and flame retardancy. The resin composition in which phthalonitrile-based resins and additives such as glass fibers and carbon fibers are mixed may be used as a durable material for airplanes, ships, automobiles, and the like.

Phtharonitrile-based resins are generally formed by polymerization and high temperature curing by applying a phthalonitrile compound having two or more phthalonitrile groups and a curing agent thereof.

Generally, the phthalonitrile compound has many aromatic groups and has high rigidity and large molecular weight. Thus, the prepolymer formed by the mixture of the phthalonitrile compound and the curing agent or by reaction of the mixture has a very narrow process window.

The process window is a measure of the processability of the resin, the processing temperature (T _p ) and the temperature at which the prepolymer formed by the reaction of the mixture of the phthalonitrile monomer and the curing agent or the mixture is present in a processable state and curing It may be expressed as an absolute value of the difference T _c -T _p of the temperature T _c .

The phthalonitrile resin has a disadvantage that the mechanical properties such as impact strength are very weak because the phthalonitrile resin has a hardened structure by the triazine produced through high temperature curing.

Therefore, in order to expand the applicable range of the phthalonitrile-based resin, it is required to supplement the impact strength with the improvement of the process window for securing the workability.

The present invention is to provide a phthalonitrile-based resin having excellent workability and improved impact strength.

According to the present invention, as a resin having a repeating unit formed by the reaction of a phthalonitrile compound and a curing agent,

The phthalonitrile compound is 4,4'-bis (3,4-dicyanophenoxy) diphenyl oxide (4,4'-bis (3,4-dicyanophenoxy) diphenyloxide) represented by the formula (1) 4,4'-bis (3,4-dicyanophenoxy) biphenyl represented by 2 comprises 4,4'-bis (3,4-dicyanophenoxy) biphenyl in a weight ratio of 30:70 to 90:10 doing,

Phtharonitrile-based resins are provided:
