چکیده
Critical behavior was studied with a crosslinking system obtained by living anionic polymerization, where the primary chain length was kept constant and the crosslinking density was varied. Gelation was found at a critical ratio of crosslinker

Effects of Chemical Structure Changes on Thermal, Mechanical, and Crystalline Properties of Rigid Rod Epoxy Resins
Effects of chemical structure changes on the thermal, mechanical, and crystalline properties of rigid rod epoxy resins have been studied for azomethine epoxy, biphenol epoxy, and tetramethyl biphenol epoxy. Rigid rod epoxies have exhibited better properties than those of the flexible bisphenol A epoxy. The chemical structures of both rigid rod epoxy and curing agent control the properties of cu...
متن کاملToughening mechanisms in elastomer-modified epoxies
The role of matrix ductility on the toughenability and toughening mechanism of elastomermodified, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)-based epoxies is investigated. Matrix ductility is varied by using epoxide resins of varying epoxide monomer molecular weights. These epoxide resins are cured using 4,4' diaminodiphenyl sulphone (DDS) and, in some cases, modified with 10vol % carboxyl-termina...
متن کاملCured Poly(ethylene-g-maleic anhydride)/Graphene Nanocomposite: Properties and Characterization
Poly(ethylene-g-maleic anhydride) (PEMA)/graphene nanoplatelets (xGn) (PEMA-xGn) composites were prepared by melt dispersion in an internal shear mixer. By adding dicumyl peroxide (DCP), cured poly(ethylene-g-maleic anhydride) C-PEMA was also produced. Different amounts of xGn were introduced into the PEMA in range of 0.5–5 wt. %. The effects of the sequence of feeding additives into the mixer ...
متن کاملDynamic Mechanical Characterization of a Soy Based Epoxy Resin System
Epoxidized allyl soyate (EAS), a novel soy based epoxy resin, has been prepared by the process of transesterfication and epoxidation of regular food grade soybean oil. Two types of crosslinking agents were employed in this study. The effects of the concentration of EAS and the type of crosslinking agent on the dynamic mechanical behavior of the soy based resin system have been investigated. The...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of a Novel Biodegradable Epoxy Resin Modified with Epoxidized Oleic Acid
The goal of this research was to study the curing behavior and biodegradability DER 736 modified with epoxidized oleic acid. In this paper we demonstrate the efficient epoxidation of oleic acid with performic acid generated in situ from formic acid and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of H2SO4 as catalyst. The highest relative epoxy yield of 61% was achieved at 40 ͦC after 10 h. DER 736 modifie...
