Abstract
Epoxy resins are an important class of thermoset resins, which are obtained by curing reactions between an epoxy compound and a curing agent. The reaction leads to the formation of a complicated three-dimensional network that extends through the entire system. Thus, as the condition of the curing reaction changes, the resultant network structure does, generally resulting in the change in the bulk glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resultant resin. In this short review, we briefly summarize how the curing condition affects the formation of the network structure and thereby alters the bulk Tg.
期刊介绍:
For the communication among the members, the journal of the Society of Rheology Japan, NIHON REOROJI GAKKAISHI (5 issues per year), was established in 1973 and it is the oldest journal on rheology in Asia. The journal contains original and review articles on rheology and related topics, information for all SRJ events, and reports of domestic/overseas meetings. Articles in Japanese as well as in English are considered for publication, not only from the members but also from the researchers outside. Papers from new emerging areas of the field are particularly welcome. The electronic version of the articles is available via the internet with an open access policy.
