Abstract

Dielectric measurements were performed in ‘real‐time’ at several temperatures to follow polymerization reactions on blends of a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxy resin with 4, 4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) hardener and different amounts of polyoxypropylenetriamine (POPTA) oligomer. These systems exhibit phase separation induced by molar mass increasing through curing of the resin. Monitoring of phase separation and vitrification (related to the α‐relaxation) was performed by this technique. The results are compared with those for the unmodified resin–hardener mixture. The change of the main α‐relaxation with cure time, cure temperature, and amount of modifier was measured for the mixtures. This change of the main relaxation through curing in the frequency domain was indicative of the cure reaction advancement, because of its dependence on the viscosity of the medium. The change of the ionic conductivity during curing was also analysed, showing its dependence upon cure temperature.

The cure process of mixtures of a DGEBA-type epoxy resin and ethylenediamine, in different molar ratios, was investigated by dielectrometry in a wide frequency range, 103-2 10'' Hz, at three temperatures, 25,60, and 70°C. Two relaxation processes were found whose relevant parameters were obtained by

Although ultrasonic wave propagation is a well-known technique for nondestructive analysis, it can be also applied for dynamic mechanical characterization (DMA) of polymers and composites. Most of DMA characterizations at ultrasonic frequencies are performed on thermoplastics and only a few articles

Rubber toughening of epoxy resins has been actively studied since the 1960s with clear progress in understanding of the ultimate properties: microstructure relationships. The morphology, obtained after curing of the modified thermosetting matrix, is a function of the process conditions as well as of
