Natural Climatic Aging of Epoxy Polymers Taking into Account the Seasonality Impact

Abstract:

The change in the elastic-strength and sorption properties of epoxy polymers in the process of natural aging, taking into account the sequence of different climatic seasons effects, was studied. We studied polymers obtained on the basis of low-viscosity epoxy resins and a hardener, which is a mixture of aromatic and aliphatic di-and polyamines, modified by salicylic acid. Differences in the processes of structural relaxation and elimination of the initial nonequilibrium depending on the season of the exposure start are revealed. Mathematical models that describe changes in the elastic-strength properties of epoxy polymers during climatic aging, depending on the accumulated quantitative values ​​of the acting environmental factors, have been developed. For the first time, it was proposed to use as a variable parameter the total duration of time intervals for the studied period the surface temperature of the samples at which exceeded the glass transition temperature.
