Thermal Stabilities and Mechanical Properties of Two Tetra-Functional Epoxy Resins

Abstract:

To study the relationship between the molecular main chain structure and the properties of amine based tetra-functional epoxy resins, especially for the thermal stabilities and the mechanical properties, N,N,N',N'-Tetraglycidyl-2,2-Bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane (TGBAPP) and N,N,N',N'-Tetraglycidyl-4,4'-diamino diphenyl ether (TGDDE) were cured with Methyl nadic anhydride (MNA). The thermal behavior of the cured epoxy resins were studied with the thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and the glass transition temperature (Tg) were determined with the Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). Additionally, the mechanical properties of them were tested. The results indicated that the cured epoxy resin based on TGBAPP had better thermal stabilities and toughness.
