Abstract
A novel tetrafunctional epoxy resin, namely N,N,N'N'-tetrakis(2,3-epoxyprop yl)-4,4'-( 1,4-phenylenedioxy)dianiline, has been synthesized. The curing k inetics has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using v arious amine curing agents. Thermal stabilities of the cured products have been investigated by thermogravimetric (TG) analyses. The overall activatio n energies for the curing reactions an observed to be in the range 63.6-196 .7 kJ.mol(-1). The cured products have good thermal stability.
