The curing reactions of epoxy resin diglycidyl ether of 2,7-dihydroxy napht
halene (DGEDHN) with different aliphatic and aromatic amines have been stud
ied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The thermal stability of th
e cured products was also studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Usin
g these data, different glass fiber-reinforced composites were fabricated,
and their mechanical, electrical properties and resistance to chemicals wer
e studied. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
