The morphology and fracture toughness of epoxy resins modified with amino-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (ATPDMS), differing in their molecular weight, and the degree of the preliminary reaction in the melt state were investigated. Tetramethyl biphenol diglycidyl ether (TMBPDGE) was used as the bas

✦ Synopsis
A linear epoxy±aminopropyltriethoxysilane addition polymer was used as a new epoxy modi®er. In this paper, the thermal and mechanical properties have been determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and mechanical testing. The experimental results show that this copolymer modi®er can effectively improve the toughness of resins without sacri®cing their thermal resistance, stiffness and strength. As a comparison, the properties of epoxy resin blended with aminopropyltriethoxysilane (g-APS) have been carried out simultaneously.

In this work, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with different molecular weight were used to modify diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA). A PDMS-block-DGEBA copolymer that acted as a compatibilizer was prepared via DGEBA, hydroxy terminated PDMS, and silane coupling agent in the presence of a catalyst.
