Temperature And Time Dependent Viscosity Of An Elastomer Modified Epoxy Resin, Woodrow Williard Wagner Jr. Apr 1978

Temperature And Time Dependent Viscosity Of An Elastomer Modified Epoxy Resin, Woodrow Williard Wagner Jr.

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Temperature effects on the viiscosity of an epoxy resin (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A - DGEBA), an elastomer (carboxy terminated butadiene acrylonitrile - CTBN), and two blends containing nominally 10 percent elastomer were examined from strain rates of 0.1 sec-1 to 10,000 sec-1 over a temperature range from 300K to 450K. All results indicated the greatest drop in viscosity occurred for each of the materials over the temperature range of 300K to 350K. In addition, the materials exhibited Newtonian responses over the entire strain rate range, Adding small amounts of elastomer to the I epoxy only moderately effected …
