Study on thermoplastic-modified multifunctional epoxies: Influence of heating rate on cure behaviour and phase separation
Source abstract
Abstract
The effect of heating rate on the cure behaviour and phase separation of thermoplastic-modified epoxy systems was investigated. Polyethersulphone (PES) modified multifunctional epoxies, triglycidyl-aminophenol (TGAP) and tetraglycidyldiaminodiphenylmethane (TGDDM), as well T300/914 prepreg were used. It was shown that heating rate had a significant influence on the cure kinetics and phase structures of investigated systems. Greater heating rate causes higher epoxy conversion. The domain size of the macrophases formed from phase separation increases with the increase of heating rate. A more complete phase separation is achieved by fast heated thermoplastic-modified epoxy blends.
