Mechanical properties of unmodified and montmorillonite-modified epoxy compounds. Part I: compression test

Abstract The aim of the article was to determine compressive strength and strain an unmodified a modified epoxy compounds containing montmorillonite filler, as well effect temperature aging time on mechanical parameters considered compounds. subject research both adhesive were made in four variants, which included resins based bisphenol A curing agents: triethylenetetramine polyamide agent. also variants. samples subjected thermal chamber at 80 °C for 1 2 months shock range from − 40 months. reference seasoned room 20–25 °C. compression tests accordance with ISO 604 standard. is influenced by environment temperature, presence modifying elevated or variable temperatures have higher than operation climatic makes more deformable samples.
