Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of the Glassy State Response of a Sub-Tg Annealed Model Epoxy Network

Published

Gale A. Holmes

Abstract

Using dynamic mechanical analyzers the relaxation behavior of a loosely cross-linked model epoxy resin was investigated before and after room temperature aging. Preliminary results indicate a stiffening of the storage moduli occurs below 50 C, the b relaxation temperature of the epoxy network, with a subsequent softening of the network above room temperature and a drop in the apparent glass transition temperature (Tg). of the material with aging.
