Abstract:In this paper, the effect of varying mixing ratio of Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)/aliphatic amidoamine hardener on the behavior of dynamic cure profile and mechanical properties of the resulting thermoset was investigated. Epoxy/hardener sample with a stoichiometric mixing ratio of 2:1 are tested against non-stoichiometric ratios of 3:1 and 4:1. The tensile, flexural, and hardness properties of the specimens were measured while SEM is employed to investigate the fracture surface and analyze the fail… Show more
