Abstract: | Conclusions The viscosity properties of epoxy resins in the presence of fillers of various nature have been investigated; the effect of various factors on the kinetics of hardening of compositions by polyethylenepolyamide has also been studied.A decisive role of the form anisotropy of the filler particles in manifestion of viscosity anomaly effects and of thixotropy has been shown.A tendency toward retardation of the epoxy resin hardening process in the presence of finely cut up carbon fibres has been detected.Translated from Khimicheskie Volokna, No. 3, pp. 36–37, May–June, 1988. |
