Preparation and Impact Properties of Epoxy/ Epoxidized Palm Oil Blend Glass Fiber Reinforced Composite Systems

Abstract:

Green thermosetting resins are were prepared using Epoxidizided palm oil (EPO) and epoxy based petroleum. The polymer resins were cured through amine system with the addition of various percentage of imidazole catalyst (5, 10, 25 and 30%). The evaluation for thermal due to high cross link densities blend samples toward heat. All the blend samples presented thermoset characteristics that was dependent upon the quantity of catalyst. As expected, the Tg decreased as the amount of imidazole increased.
