Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resin with Multifunctional Polyamine Curing Agent

Abstract:

A nonlinear multifunctional polyamine N,N,N’,N’-tetra (3-aminopropyl)-1,6-diamino-hexane (TADH), was prepared and employed as a novel hardener for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA). Nonisothermal reactions of DGEBA/TADH were systematically investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In addition, analysis of thermal stability of the cured DGEBA/TADH with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that it possessed quite good thermal stability and increased residual char content at 600◦C in nitrogen. Furthermore, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of the DGEBA/TADH network showed its relaxations were characterized by localized motions of hydroxyl ether segments and cooperative motions of whole network chains (glass relaxation) at different temperature regions.
