Epoxy Resins in Electron Microscopy

A method of embedding biological specimens in araldite 502 (Ciba) has been developed for materials available in the United States. Araldite-embedded tissues are suitable for electron microscopy, but the cutting qualities of the resin necessitates more than routine attention during microtomy. The rather high viscosity of araldite 502 also seems to be an unnecessary handicap. The less viscous epo...

Effects of Chemical Structure Changes on Curing Reactions and Thermal Properties of Cyanate Ester-Cured Rigid-Rod Epoxy Resins

How chemical structure changes affect the curing reactions and thermal properties of 2,2 -bis(4-cyanatophenyl) propane (cyanate ester) cured rigid-rod epoxy resins has been studied for biphenol and tetramethyl biphenol epoxies. The formation of an oxazolidinone ring is the dominant curing reaction for biphenol epoxy, whereas the formation of a cyanurate ring is the dominant curing reaction for ...

Effect of structure on thermal behaviour of epoxy resins

The paper deals with the curing behaviour of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) using three novel multifunctional aromatic amines having phosphine oxide and amide-acid linkages. The amines were prepared by reacting tris(3-aminophenyl)phosphine oxide (TAP) with 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid anhydride (P)/4,4-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic acid anhydride (F)/3,3,4,4-benzophenonet...

Hardness Evaluation of Composite Resins Cured with QTH and LED

UNLABELLED Background and aims. Today light cured composites are widely used. Physical and mechanical properties of composites are related to the degree of conversion. Light curing unit (LCU) is an important factor for composite polymerization. Aim of this study is evaluation of composite resins hardness using halogen and LED light curing units. Materials and methods. In this study, 30 samples ...
