Dynamic mechanical response of model epoxy networks in the glassy state

Abstract: The dynamic mechanical properties of model epoxy-amine networks are investigated in the glassy state over a wide range of frequencies, at temperatures between 123 K and 350 K. The effects of crosslink density and network chain flexibility on the p relaxation are examined. Motions responsible for the p process begin to develop at the same temperature, whatever the crosslink density. However, an increase in crosslink density is accompanied by an increase in amplitude and a broadening towards high temperatures of… Show more

“…The influence of network architecture on the properties of the matrices has been clarified by using series of model systems, designed to present a systematic variation of the network rigidity while keeping the crosslink density constant, and vice versa. 4 -7 Thus, unambiguous results were obtained dealing with the glass transition temperature T g , 5,[7][8][9] , the free volume, 10 the secondary relaxation ␤, 5,11,12 and the antiplasticization phenomenon. 13,14 In the case of composites, additional pending questions refer to the interaction between matrix and fiber.…”

“…Nevertheless, at a lower temperature, especially near room temperature range, the higher E' value of DEU -EP/DDM likely suggests that the stronger interaction in the cured network. This interaction is probably owing to the more regular packaging of the aromatic moieties in the DEU-EP/DDM epoxy network (Scheme 4) resulting optimally compacted configuration of the network chains, which creates stronger cohesive energy (e.g., π-π stacking among the aromatic rings) in the network at the glassy state [44][45][46]. However, this non-covalent becomes very weak, once the pxylene ether bonds possess enough kinetic energy to overcome the energetic barrier for their motions at a higher temperature.…”

“…The inversion can be related to the area of the β transition peak. The decrease of storage modulus is all the more important as the area of the peak is large, meaning that the number of hydroxypropylether sequences formed during the curing is high (Cukierman et al, 1991). At equal number of hydroxypropylether sequences, the mechanical losses are all the more important as the curing density is high, because of synergies in motions of dense systems (Cukierman et al, 1991).…”
