The dynamic mechanical properties of epoxy resins cured with maleic anhydride have been studied over the 25—250℃ temperature region using a vibrating reed method.The temperature dependence of Young’S modulus and the internal fric-tion for the cured epoxy resin is typical for a slightly crosslinked polymer. A pronounced dispersion rigion is noted near 150℃ (which varies with the degree of cure),and is accompained by a prominent drop in Young’S modulus in this region.The loss peak is due to the glass transition in the epoxy resin network since above this temperature the specimens exhibit a rubberlike behaviour. Results presented here agree well with those of other investigators.However.the glass transition temperature deter-mined bv internal friction peak is much higher than that determined from the thermo-mechanical curves by Kargin et al.,this difference suggests that the external force applied during a thermo-mechanical curve determination may produce certain mechano-chemical effects in the epoxy resin network.Experimental data obtained on the relation between the degree of crosslinking and the glass transition temperature are given and discussed.
