Abstract
The effect of subβT~g~ aging on the properties of an epoxy resin system, diglycidyl ether of butanediol, DGEB, cured with 4β4β² diaminodiphenyl sulfone, DDS, has been studied. Aging was found to increase the DSC (differential scanning calorimetric) endothermic peak, the density, and the upper yield point. In contrast, the lower yield point was relatively unchanged. This result, together with the observation of the elimination of the DSC endothermic peak by deformation and the absence of a yield point after deformation, suggested that the aging effect was eliminated by deformation. The thrermally stimulated depolarization (TSD) Ξ±βpeak was found to decrease in strength with aging time. All of the observations were best rationalized on the basis of the freeβvolume concept.

The dynamic mechanical behavior at about 1 Hz of a fully cured epoxy resin (maximum glass transition temperature, T , , , ca. 170Β°C) has been studied during and after isothermal annealing in terms of the influence of thermal prehistory, time of annealing, and temperature of annealing ( T,).

## Abstract A group of epoxy matrices having a varied amount of crosslink densities have been prepared by curing diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)βepoxy resin with the help of a family of cyanoethylated amine hardeners based on the adducts of 1 mole of triethylenetetramine and __x__ moles of
