Abstract:The presence of structural heterogeneities in glassy epoxy networks can strongly affect the adhesiveness and mechanical properties of epoxy-based materials. Recent studies have demonstrated that the size and architecture of structural heterogeneities can be monitored during the curing process, thus providing an effective way to control multiple physical properties of epoxy resins. However, because the size of heterogeneities is believed to be at the nanoscale, obtaining insights into the direct correlation bet… Show more
