Description

This work presents the characterization of the thermal and rheological behavior of a new composite materials based on a Diglycidyl Ether of Bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxy resin reinforced with Triglycidyl-2-Aminothiophenol (TGATP). The hardener used refers to 4,4'-Methylene Dianiline (MDA). DGEBA-TGATP-MDA epoxy composite materials of TGATP content varying between 5 wt. % and 15 wt. % are prepared via melt compounding. The differential scanning calorimetry results show that the presence of TGATP can remarkably improve the material thermal properties. The rheological investigation results show that TGATP amount and dispersion are responsible for the composite increased thermal stability. Keywords: composite materials, DGEBA, TGATP, thermal and rheological properties.
