Effects of temperature on cure kinetics and mechanical properties of vinyl–ester resins

The relationships among cure temperature, chemical kinetics, microstructure, and mechanical performance have been investigated for vinyl–ester resins. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to follow the reactions of vinyl–ester and styrene during isothermal curing of Dow Derakane 411‐C‐50 at 30 and 90°C. Reactivity ratios of vinyl–ester and styrene vinyl groups were evaluated using the copolymer composition equation. The results indicate that the ratio of vinyl–ester to styrene double bonds incorporated into the network is greater for 30 than for 90°C cure. Mechanical properties were obtained for systems subjected to isothermal cures at 30 and 90°C and postcured above ultimate T_g. The results show that the initial cure temperature significantly affects the mechanical behavior of vinyl–ester resin systems. In particular, values of strength and fracture toughness for postcured samples initially cured isothermally at 30°C are significantly higher than those obtained for samples cured isothermally at 90°C. Examination of fracture surfaces using atomic force microscopy revealed the existence of a nodular microstructure possessing characteristic nodule dimensions that are affected by the temperature of cure. Such features suggest the existence of phase separation during cure. A binary interaction model in conjunction with chemical kinetic data and estimated solubility parameters was used to evaluate enthalpic interactions between the growing polymer network and monomers of the vinyl–ester system. The results indicate that the interaction energy becomes increasingly endothermic as cure progresses and that this energy is affected by the temperature of cure through differences in copolymerization behavior. Hence, in addition to entropic factors, the changes in enthalpic contribution to the Gibbs free energy suggest that the probability of phase separation increases with extent of cure and that its onset is potentially affected by cure temperature. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Effect of temperature and volume on the tensile and adhesive properties of photocurable resins

Knowing the mechanical properties of UV‐curable resins at cryogenic conditions is important to ongoing fusion‐energy research and to emerging aerospace applications. The tensile and interfacial shear strengths of two commercially available UV‐curable resins were measured at room‐temperature and cryogenic conditions for both bulk and reduced (subnanoliter) specimen volumes. The tensile properties of cured specimens are remarkably sensitive to both testing temperature and specimen size. For one type of resin, the cold (?150 °C) tensile strength of subnanoliter specimens is ～9× larger (179 ± 19 MPa) than bulk values at room temperature. The interfacial shear strength between SiC fibers and small volumes of resin volumes is comparable to the bulk, room‐temperature tensile strength, but it varies over a wide range at ?150 °C (15–53 MPa). All resins were fully cured, and an analysis of fractured surfaces revealed microstructural features. The enhanced strength in microscopic specimens may be related to inhomogeneous stress fields that develop during cure. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

Development and characterization of a novel skeletal modified tetraglycidyl epoxy toughened DGEBA epoxy matrices

The present work investigates the improvement in mechanical properties observed for commercially available diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) with the incorporation of a new type of skeletal modified tetra glycidyl epoxy resin TGBAPB as modifier. Varying weight percentages of TGBAPB have been blended with DGEBA and cured with diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM). The chemical structure of TGBAPB was confirmed by FTIR, NMR, and molecular weight determination was carried out by ESI-MS spectroscopic techniques. The thermal properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and mechanical properties like tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength were also studied by universal testing machine (UTM). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigates the morphological behavior of the neat and blend epoxy resins. The results from different studies indicate that the blend epoxy resin system “B” comprising 75% DGEBA/25% TGBAPB has shown improvements in both toughness and stiffness, despite the fact that it is often found that the enhancement of these two properties together in a material cannot be simultaneously achieved. These aspects of this work are novel.

Thermal and mechanical characterization of high performance epoxy systems with extended cure times

Five epoxy resins of different chemistry and functionality were cured with DDS (4,4-diaminodiphenyl sulfone) using 2, 8 and 14 h curecycles. Both Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA) were used to characterize reaction behavior and cured properties of the resin systems. In addition, static mechanical tests and density measurements were integrated with the thermal characterization methods to correlate resin properties with process time. Flexural three-point bending experiments showed that the resins tended to have higher yield stress and toughness values at extended cure times. The improved mechanical properties could be attributed to the full development of the epoxy molecular structure, in the form of cross-linked networks and molecular rearrangement. These results suggest that extended cure times or high temperature post-curing may be required to obtain the resin's ultimate mechanical properties for high performance composites.The authors would like to thank Dr. Andri Filippov of Shell Development Company for his interest in this work. Financial assistance and material support for this research were provided by Shell Development Company while instrument support was provided by TA Instruments through project support to the Polymeric Composites Laboratory of the University of Washington.     

Guide for Authors

The effects of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) on the curing behaviors and adhesive strengths of an epoxy (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A) and dicyandiamide/2-methyl imidazole system are studied with differential thermal calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Instron tensile testing instrument. From DSC analyses of specimens prepared with unsealed aluminum pans, it is obtained that the reaction exotherm, the time to maximal curing rate, the glass transition temperature, the rate constant, and the reaction order of the epoxy system change with respect to the content of ENR added because of the reaction of ENR with the epoxy system. The results obtained from SEM micrographs indicate that the particle size of the rubber phase increases with increasing the curing temperature and the ENR content. The volume fraction of the separated rubber phase also follows the similar trend except at the high curing temperature which implying that the dissolution of epoxy resin in the ENR phase also depends on the curing temperature and the amount of ENR present. The lap shear strengths of specimens prepared with etched aluminum substrates increase with increasing the curing temperature because of a better cure at a higher temperature, but decrease with increasing the ENR content resulting from an adverse effect of ENR on the mechanical properties of the cured resins.

Effect of the substituted benzene group on thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy resins initiated by cationic latent catalysts

Epoxy resins (DGEBA) were cured by cationic latent thermal catalysts, that is, N‐benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate (BPH) and N‐benzylquinoxalinium hexafluoroantimonate (BQH) to investigate the effect of substituted benzene group on cure kinetics and mechanical properties of epoxy system. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was undertaken for activation energy of the system. It was also characterized in terms of flexural, fracture toughness, and Izod impact strengths for the mechanical tests. As a result, the cure reaction of both epoxy systems resulted in an autocatalytic kinetic mechanism accelerated by hydroxyl groups. Also, the conversion and cure activation energy of the DGEBA/BQH system were higher than those of DGEBA/BPH system. The mechanical properties of the DGEBA/BQH system were also superior to those of the DGEBA/BPH system, as well as the morphology. This was probably due to the consequence of the effect of the substituted benzene group of the BQH catalyst, resulting in increasing the crosslinking density and structural stability in the epoxy system studied. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
