Adding Effects of Reactive Oligomers for Epoxy Resin

Reactive oligomers with both functional end groups were prepared by the radical telomerization and the effect of oligomers added to bisphenol-A-glycidylehter type epoxy resin was investigated by measuring mechanical properties, adhesive properties and dynamic viscoelasticities. These oligomers were high viscous liquid except the one prepared from methyl methacrylate, therefore the blend of oligomers with epoxy resin is easy. Adding oligomers, the cured epoxy resins showed the lower glass-transition temperatures and flexibility. The mechanical and adhesive properties of the cured epoxy resin were improved by the addition of reactive oligomers
