A series of acrylic copolymer modifiers with mesogenic side chain (LCGMB) were synthesized and used to modify E-51/DDM system. The dynamic mechanical behavior and impact strength of the modified systems were investigated. The results showed that the impact strength and modulus were influenced by the

โฆ Synopsis
2-Ethylhexyl acrylateยฑacrylic acid copolymers, ie carboxyl randomized poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate) (CRPEHA) (LR-1 to LR-6), with different molecular weights and functionality were synthesized. The liquid rubbers were characterized by FTIR spectroscopic analysis, non-aqueous titration, vapour pressure osmometry (VPO) and viscosity measurements. All the liquid rubbers were reacted with the epoxy resin in 10:100 weight ratio using triphenyl phosphine as a catalyst. The modiยฎed epoxy networks were made by reacting the homogeneous prereacted resin with an ambient temperature hardener, triethylene tetramine (HY 951). The effect of the molecular weight and functionality of the liquid rubbers on the thermal and impact properties of the modiยฎed networks was investigated.
