Abstract

Abstract A new trifunctional epoxy resin, Tris‐(hydroxyphenyl)methane triglycidyl ether, was compared to a state‐of‐the‐art resin, 4,4′‐diaminodiphenyl methane (TGDDM), in graphite composites. Rubber‐toughened brominated and nonbrominated formulations were compared for their mechanical performance, environmental stability, thermochemical behavior, and flame retardancy. It was found that the new resin performs almost the same way as the TGDDM does, but has some improved properties. The fracture toughness of the various formulations was studied carefully and the overall performance of the new resin is discussed.
