Chemorheology of epoxy resin Part I epoxy resin cured with tertiary amine

Epoxy resin was cured with a tertiary amine. The viscosity and dynamic mechanical properties during the curing reaction were measured by a cone-and-plate rheometer. A dual Arrhenius viscosity model was modified to predict the viscosity profile before gelation during the non-isothermal curing. The viscosity profile coincided with the experimental data. The activation energy of this system calculated using the modified model was 19.8 kcal mol^–1 for the first region, and 17.3 kcal mol^–1 for the second region. After gelation, the dynamic complex modulus was related to the reaction kinetics according to the rubber elasticity theory, and the activation energy was 15.3 kcal mol^–1. Furthermore, the gelling point can be estimated from the rheological measurements.     

Mechanical fatigue of epoxy resin

In static bending fatigue tests, epoxy resins show practically no fatigue if the stress given to specimen is lower than a critical value, which is close to the bending strength of the specimen. In cyclic bending fatigue tests, on the other hand, the resins are easily fractured even though the stresses are far below the critical values. Some strain may be accumulated on the surface of specimen through cyclic deformations. However, the strain accumulated is reversible. If the specimen is allowed to rest, the strain disappears. If the strain reaches a critical value, an irreversible transition may be induced, probably in the arrangement of segments on the surface. A crack nucleus thus created may propagate and cause the final fracture of the specimen, following the fracture mechanics of elastic materials. The lifetime of epoxy resins under cyclic bending load is determined by the time required for creating a crack nucleus on surface.     

Deformation characteristics of reinforced epoxy resin

Specimens, cut from a commercially produced epoxide resin reinforced by layers of glass cloth, were tested in tension at various strain-rates and temperatures, and at various orientations of the fibres to the tensile axis. Results are presented for elastic moduli, yield and fracture stresses, and elongations. These results give ample evidence of a decrease in the effectiveness of the reinforcement as deformation proceeds. Strain-ratechange tests show that the rate sensitivity of the composite rises rapidly as the strain increases beyond a critical value, which also indicates that the behaviour is increasingly governed by the properties of the matrix.

Strain softening in an epoxy resin

Post-yield behaviour, particularly strain softening, has been studied here for an epoxy resin to examine the effects of postcuring and plasticization by water and a non-volatile diluent dibutylphtalate. The significance of necking was examined by conducting compression tests (at room temperature) as well as tensile tests. In the case of tensile tests, elevated temperatures were used in order to achieve yielding. The amount of strain softening was found to be reduced by postcuring or by the addition of a plasticizer. In the case of postcuring, little change in yield stress occurred, whereas, with plasticizers, a reduction in yield stress does occur.
