The effect of acetone addition on the properties of epoxy

摘要: In this work, a varied amount of acetone was employed to dissolve an epoxy resin and then route followed remove the acetone, simulating frequently used method disperse nanofillers in thermoset matrices. Analyses were carried out address influence residual on curing process properties. The results showed detrimental effect mechanical properties cured due presence also less brittle-like fracture specimen. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy thermogravimetric analyses additionally characterize resins have indicated small acetone. Nevertheless, rheological measurements that 10.0 wt.% addition causes significant decrease viscosity (around 50%) which may promote better dispersion nanofillers.
