Abstract
Glass‐fibre‐epoxy composites cured with oligomeric polyaminophenolic agents have shown good dimensional stability during thermal cycling at temperatures over 100°C, even if their curing is carried out at room temperature. It was therefore believed important to evaluate their behaviour in different environmental conditions. Their good mechanical characteristics are maintained after saturation with water, UV irradiation, and thermal cycling between 0 and 110°C. From the following tests the environmental resistance is clearly higher than that of composites cured with other aminic agents.
